Model Degree Colleges were to be established with Central Government funding and required land, staff, and infrastructure provision under Human Resource Development (MHRD) in 2011-12. Initially, eight districts in Odisha were selected for pilot projects, with Deogarh being one of the fortunate beneficiaries. The project commenced with the allocation of 2 acres of forest land at Rajamunda, designated by the then Collector and District Magistrate of Deogarh, Smt. Poonam Guha. Building work began with funding from the Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA) under the guidance of Sj. Purna Chandra Pathy, the then Collector and District Magistrate of Deogarh. Academic activities started in the 2016-17 session following the appointment of the first principal, Dr. Kalilash Chandra Dash (transferred from BJB Autonomous College), on 18.06.2016.

Model Degree College, Deogarh, situated in one of the tribal districts of Odisha, is dedicated to providing quality higher education to the region. Despite the challenges posed by a lack of industrial accessibility, our college aims to stand out in the service sector, equipping students with science, socio-economic, political, literary, entrepreneurial skills that can significantly contribute to the district's development. Since its establishment, the college has grown significantly in terms of skilled students, serving not only Deogarh but also neighboring districts. Our student strength has continually increased, and we offer UG teaching facilities in numerous subjects. Our infrastructure includes well-equipped laboratories, smart classrooms, a comprehensive library with thousands of books (currently being improved by 5T initiative), and access to online resources through the Inflibnet facility. Additionally, we have one men’s hostel and one women’s hostel, each with a capacity of 100 beds, to accommodate our outstation students. Recognizing the need to align with global trends, we are focusing on providing our students with opportunities to learn cutting-edge technologies like AI, ChatGPT, Co-Pilot, and Gemini. Furthermore, we are planning to establish a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with nearby industries from other districts. This collaboration will provide our students with practical exposure to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities and other industry-related experiences. I extend my best wishes to this great centre of learning and look forward to its growth and success. Dr. Bijaya Kumar Maharana Read More...
