In June 1948, the college was shifted——to its present premises, situated within a furlong from Bankim Chandra's ancestral home at Kantalpara (at the eastern side of Naihati railway station), as the then Executive Committee purchased the present plot of land from "Medland Bose & Co." a labour-contractor firm that used to use the land as a transit point for coolies destined mainly to the north-east tea gardens.
