History
It was established in 1947[1] when Bongaon High School served as its birthplace.[3] The college is named after Dinabandhu Mitra,[3] a Bengali dramatist, who is primarily known for his play Nil Darpan, which is about the plight of indigo farmers. This college was established for providing quality higher education to the largely middle and lower-middle class population of the town of Bongaon and its rural areas because that point of time there was no college in this locality. In 2022, the college observed its 75th anniversary.[5]
