The college was established by the endeavour of the poor and back ward people of this vast locality with a view of impart higher education to the poor children and bearing them up to cope with the present society, country and the world, as the children of the economically and socially backward people of this vast area could not go out for higher education.

It has created an atmosphere to attract students to this department, though Sanskrit is a classical language, which is now ignored generally. We can maintain this impetus in future if we get patronise from the college authority. The good will of college authority must take prominent role for improvement of the department. Insufficient infrastructure facilities, lack of sufficient faculty, the department could not run smoothly as other departments of the college.
