The origin of Chandernagore Government College dates back to the establishment of a French primary school Ecole de Sainte Marie (Saint Mary’s Institution) by the French catholic missionary Fr. Maglore Barthet, S.J. in 1862. In 1887, the then French administration at Chandernagore took over control of the institution, renaming it Ecole Publique des Garcons (Public Institution for the Boys). The institution effectively became a college in 1891 with the introduction of FA Course under Calcutta University, though it had to wait till 1901 to be renamed as College Dupleix.
After being closed down since 1908 as the epicenter of Swadeshi movement, it was re-established in 1931 with I.A. and I.Sc. courses. In 1938, the college was brought under the control of the French Education Directorate and it was again renamed as “College Dupleix”. In 1945, the name of the college section of the “College Dupleix” became “College de Bussy”. In 1948 it was finally re-named Chandernagore College by the Free City Government. After the merger of the Free City with the Indian Union on June 9, 1952, the college came under the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India. In 1954, when the city was merged with the State of West Bengal, Chandernagore College was taken over by the Government of West Bengal. Chandernagore College offers different kind of undergraduate and postgraduate courses.
