An Overview
The dawn of educational awareness in higher education illuminated the horizon of Polasara, a culturally rich and scenic area in the Ganjam district. This transformation began with the establishment of Polasara Science College, which first introduced the Intermediate courses in Arts and Commerce in 1979, followed by the I. Sc. program in 1983. The college was officially inaugurated on August 15, 1979, at Veda Mandira by the esteemed Late Kanhu Charan Nayak, Ex-MLA of the Kodala Assembly Constituency. Today, the college celebrates its 45th year of serving the educational needs of the Panchayat Samiti area and surrounding regions, offering Higher secondary, Undergraduate and Post-Graduate courses in Arts and Science.
In 1989-90, the college expanded its offerings to include the +3 Degree course in Arts, which has since seen encouraging admissions and impressive results. In 2013-14, the college received government approval to admit 256 students into the +3 Arts program. In the 2016-17 academic year, the college was also granted permission to enroll 128 students in the +3 Science program, with honors courses in Physics (24), Chemistry (24), Mathematics (16), Botany (32), and Zoology (32). Since 2023-24 Post Graduation Courses in History, Political Science, Odia, Botany and Zoology started with intake capacity of 16 each.
The college takes immense pride in the leadership of its current Principal-in-Charge, Mr. Rabindra Nath Palo, a dedicated and visionary individual whose efforts have significantly addressed various challenges, contributing to the institution’s growth and progress.
Polasara Science College is now a fully aided institution with a regular Principal appointed by the government, ensuring the continued development of a healthy academic environment. This vibrant academic atmosphere, along with regular classes, high pass rates, a highly qualified faculty, and disciplined students, has brought about a remarkable transformation, enhancing the college’s standing.
In 2023, the college earned a ‘B’ grade accreditation from NAAC, a significant achievement that has further accelerated the focus on comprehensive development for both students and staff. The all-around progress of the college remains the ultimate goal for the students, faculty, and the local community, guiding the institution toward an even brighter future.
