The Bhawanipur Education Society College was founded in 1966 with the motto “Education for Excellence” through the Bhawanipur Gujarati Education Society. Accredited by NAAC and affiliated to the University of Calcutta, BESC was created under Article 30 (1) of the Indian Constitution, which guarantees linguistic minorities, such as the Gujarati-speaking community in Kolkata, the right to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice. We started in 1966 with less than a hundred students, but in the decades since, BESC has strived to extend its motto to a truly diverse body of students, admitting eligible pupils regardless of linguistic, religious or regional backgrounds.
