Naba Ballygunge Mahavidyalaya stated its journey in 1962, as an evening section of Charu Chandra College(22,Lake Place Road, Kolkata -700029) which was established, in the sacred memory of late Charu Chandra Chattopadhyay, an eminent Indian nationalist, in 1947 to cater to the needs of migrant refugees from erstwhile East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). On 15^th July,1985 this evening section was transformed into a separate college, Charu Chandra Evening College, with a  Governing body and a Principal of its own. In 1988 this college was shifted to a rented building at 80, R. K. Ghosal Road, Kolkata- 700042 which housed Kasba Chittaranjan High School.

After a long and tireless efforts of some eminent personalities like Shri Santosh Mitra, Shri Anil Basak, Shri Rabin Deb and with the financial and infrastructural assistance from Honourable M.P.s like Shri Biplab Dasgupta, Md. Salim, Smt. Sarala Maheswari and Smt Chandrakala Panday, the dream of having  a college building on its own, saw the light of the day.

On 9^th October,2002 the new college building, at 27E, Bosepukur Road, Kolkata-700042, was inaugurated by the then Chief Minister of West Bengal, Sri Buddhadev Bhattacharjee. The College was rechristened as Naba Ballygunge Mahavidyalaya on 1^st April, 2005 and transformed into a full fledged day college from 1^st July, of the same year. The College has started to offer Post Graduate Programmes in Bengali and Commerce from the academic session of 2013-2014. It has undergone two Cycles of National accreditation and assessment and got C++ and B+ grades respectively.

With the roll of time, Naba Ballygunge Mahavidyalaya has established itself as one of the premier institutions of South Kolkata catering to the needs of both bright as well as poor and under privileged students. The institution runs a well balanced programme for harmonious and holistic development of body, mind, intellect and soul. In an increasingly materialistic and competitive world, the institution aspires to kindle the value of faith, cooperation, love and empathy in the fresh and young minds of the students. In the days to come, the institution  will surely touch new heights setting the sky as the only limit.
