About the Department
Our college, Vivekananda Mission Mahavidyalaya was established at Chaitanyapur (Haldia), in Purba Medinipur in 1968 with only the Arts Faculty as a primary step. Later it expanded its academic curricula by introducing the Science and Commerce Departments.
Initially, the Department of Commerce was established to offer Commerce as a general subject in 1971-72. Later, the rapid industrialization in Haldia region created a huge employment opportunity which prompted the authority to introduce Accountancy as an Honours subject in 1991- 92.
