Best BBA College in Chapra | RAJENDRA COLLEGE

Rajendra College, Chapra is an important constituent unit of Jai Prakash University, Chapra and is named after the first President of Independent India, Deshratna Dr. Rajendra Prasad. It was established by the marathon endeavour of the two most respected persons of Chapra Dr. (Late) Harihar Sharan and Dr. (Late) Syed Mahmood Saheb, in the premises of Shah Banwari Lal Sarai on 01 august 1938. Teaching work started in the college from 15th.August 1938. It is a mere coincidence or a matter of pride that our country became independent on 15th.August 1947, after nine years, on the same date on which teaching started in this college. Dr. Rajendra Prasad, who was a professor in Langat Singh College, Muzaffarpur at that time, used to stay at chapra, while going to his village Jiradei. He used to discuss about opening a college in chapra with learned persons of region. Due to his inspiration, Dr. Mahmood, Dr. Harihar Sharan, Shri- Umanath , Shri Mahavir Prasad etc. started the process. There was a famous Shah Banwari Lal Sarai in the town, a huge campus built with an investment of Rs 3 lakhs, which was a huge amount at that time . Shah Banwari Lal, in a great act of charity and social service, donated this campus to the college.

In 1938 & 1939, for the first time Patna University granted affiliation for Intermediate (Arts) and Bachelor of Arts teaching, to Rajendra College. Consequently, Rajendra College became the first college to obtain the affiliation up to degree level. Again, in 1940 & 1942, Rajendra College got affiliation in Intermediate (Commerce) and Bachelor of Commerce. It is a matter of pride that the education of commerce stream started from Rajendra College in Bihar. Similarly, in 1944 & 1949, Rajendra College has the pride of being the first college, where education in all three streams (arts, science & commerce) was being imparted up to graduation level.
