How a cane growers' cooperative in Puranpur built a degree college from its own harvest earnings.
The lack of higher education in the progressive Tehsil Puranpur of District Pilibhit gave the community a serious reason to think, and take a step, toward opening a degree college in the area.
On 22nd December 1986, at a general assembly meeting of the cane society, it was decided that farmers would contribute to a fund to establish the college. Every fifty paisa collected would go toward it. Through this channel, the Sahkari Ganna Vikas Samiti Ltd. Puranpur was able to raise lakhs of rupees to establish a degree college for the students of Puranpur.
For this purpose, the Ganna Utpadak Siksha Samiti was established and registered on 8th May 1990. Delayed for a time by the lack of available land, the project moved forward when, on 6th July 1993, several kind-hearted persons donated 5.6 acres of land in Narayanpur Village, Tehsil Puranpur, for the college. An additional 2.6 acres from Gram Panchayat land was donated by the S.D.M., Puranpur, and the D.M. of Pilibhit.
From cooperative fund to affiliated college
General assembly of the Puranpur cane growers' cooperative votes to fund a degree college from members' own contributions.
The Ganna Utpadak Siksha Samiti is formally established and registered to carry the project forward.
5.6 acres donated in Narayanpur Village, plus 2.6 acres from Gram Panchayat land. The college is inaugurated on 9th July 1993 by D.M. Sri Raj Pratap Singh (I.A.S.), in the presence of the local M.P.
The first batch of students begins classes in the newly built college building.
The college receives permanent affiliation from Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Rohilkhand University (MJPRU), Bareilly.
To create a dynamic environment that facilitates interaction remains the college's first priority today.
