Vikram Dev College, Jeypore

As a part of welfare activities of the government, in July 1947 the government started this institution of higher education at Jeypore with all the help and support of the benevolent king, who readily provided the accommodation for this noble cause with a free hand. The college started at the present P G Block was known as 'Jeypore College' from 1 July 1947. As a tribute to the philanthropist king, Rajarshi Vikram Deb Verma, the college was renamed to 'VIKRAM DEB COLLEGE' in 1961. The college was also upgraded to a FIRST GRADE college from 1961 and undergraduate courses were started. Honours teaching provisions were made in 1968–73 and Post Graduate courses were started from 1979. The college was declared a LEAD COLLEGE in 1991–92. The institution grew in respect of student strength, teaching facilities and quality of education from year to year providing valuable service to a large population of the area deprived of provision of higher education otherwise. The college never looked back from its inception and grew to become a premiere institution of higher education in the whole of the state today for any information relating to news, events etc.
