To meet the growing demand for trained teachers in qualitative development of Secondary Schools in West Bengal, it was decided to open from 1959 a new Government Sponsored Post Graduate Teacher Education Degree College at the Sub-Divisional town of Jhargram situated on the South eastern railway in the district of Medinipur. The Trustees of Sevayatan agreed to offer land for building, site and necessary initial assistance for the implementation of the scheme. Accordingly, Sevayatan Sikshan Mahavidyalaya was started at Sevayatan about three miles off from the Sub-divisional headquarter. Sevayatan is committed to build an abode of service in respect of body, mind and soul.
