The University of Burdwan
The University of Burdwan, also known as Burdwan University or B.U., is a public state research university situated in Bardhaman, West Bengal, India. Established on 15 June 1960 by the Government of West Bengal, it began with six postgraduate departments and 30 undergraduate colleges across three districts. Sukumar Sen served as its first Vice-Chancellor, and the university's founding was tied to the abolition of the Zamindari system, with Sir Uday Chand Mahtab donating his ancestral estate and Chief Minister Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy supporting its creation. The university operates from multiple campuses: Rajbati, the former Maharaja's palace, serves as the administrative headquarters, while Golapbag is the main academic hub, and Tara Bag focuses on business and management studies. It now offers over 30 undergraduate and 66 postgraduate courses through around 22 postgraduate departments, and has consistently ranked within the top 100 universities in India's NIRF rankings between 2019 and 2022. The university also runs a Distance Education wing, a museum, a planetarium, and a rural technology centre, reflecting its broad academic and social commitments.
