Welcome to
Gorubathan Government College

Established in 2015 amidst the tranquil environs of Lower Fagu Tea Estate, Gorubathan, District Kalimpong, Gorubathan Government College occupies a unique position at the intersection of West Bengal, Sikkim, and Bhutan, approximately 650 km away from Kolkata, the state capital. At its inception, the college filled a critical void in the region by becoming the first rural-based institution in the district. Prior to its establishment, students from the lower Himalayan belt and tea gardens faced daunting challenges, with town-based colleges located up to 70 km away, and exacerbating communication barriers and economic constraints. In its brief yet impactful journey spanning nine years, Gorubathan Government College has emerged as a beacon of educational opportunity and social change. By bringing higher education to rural households and marginalized communities, the college has played a pivotal role in transforming the socio-economic landscape of North Bengal. It has empowered students from diverse ethnic backgrounds to pursue education beyond the secondary level, equipping them with the necessary skills and confidence to navigate employment opportunities in both public and private sectors. Gorubathan Government College, affiliated with the University of North Bengal, offers undergraduate programs across ten subjects in both Arts and Science fields. This affiliation ensures that the college’s curriculum aligns with university standards and adheres to the National Education Policy 2020 guidelines, including the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS). CBCS promotes interdisciplinary learning and customization of educational pathways to meet students' interests and career aspirations. The college adheres strictly to the university’s academic regulations concerning evaluation, syllabus, and examinations. It operates with a well-maintained academic calendar that facilitates organized planning of timetables and workload distribution, supporting a structured learning environment for students and faculty.
