3 YEAR DEGREE COLLEGE

During the Seoond
Five Year Plan the Edu-
cation Department of the
Govt, of West Bengal
did a lot for the promo-
tion of eduoation through-
out the Distriot. There
are various new schemes
in the 3rd Plan and very
soon we shall have the
North Bengal University
at Siliguri. This univer-
sity shall go a long way
for the promotion of higher
eduoation in North Bengal.

The demand for .a 3
Year Degree College for
Kalimpong, has been rai.
sed on several occasion
in the past, SO far nothing
has been done for estab-
lishment of a buoh College
here. The one and only
intermediate college at
Kalimpong was olosed last
year and to-day this Sub-
Division is without a
College. The need for a
3 year Degrees College for
Kalimpong is welknown
to the authorities concer-
ned and we hope the
eduoation department will
give a serious considera-
tion to this long felt need
of the Sub-Division.
