Swami Vivekananda has said, “We want the education by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, the intellect is expanded, and by which one can stand on one’s own feet”. We offer our humblest prayers to the great sage as we venture to introduce our institute and strive to emulate his profound teaching.
Established on 14th July 2014, Government General Degree College, Salboni, stands as a testament to the Government of West Bengal's commitment to enhancing educational opportunities in the Jangalmahal area, which had suffered from socio-political unrest for decades.

As a general degree college, we offer a diverse range of courses in both B.A. and B.Sc. programmes, providing options for Honours and General streams. Apart from the curricular aspects, our institute has been continuously working on uplift of the socio-economically underprivileged communities of the Salboni block, particularly the area surrounding Pirakata, by means of educating our students.
