Ramkrishna Mahavidyalaya is the second oldest college of Tripura. It was established on 1st September 1950 with a view to spread man-making education particularly among the people of the-then North Tripura District and people of Tripura as a whole. Founder of the College Brahmachari Tapas Chaitanya Maharaj, wanted to convey the Ideals of Sri Ramkrishna Paramhamsa Dev and Swami Vivekananda to build a strong moral base of the society. At the beginning, as there was no required infrastructure, classes were conducted in the tin shed of the old Sri Ramakrishna Ashram or even under the shed of trees of the Ashram Campus. People of the locality eagerly extended their helping hand by donating land and other construction materials to fulfil the dream of Tapash Chaitanya Maharaj and other local aspirants.
Dr. Sachchidananda Dhar was the founder principal. In the initial stage the college started with Arts subjects only and later on Science and Commerce stream were added. The college was run privately for more than thirty years. Thereafter in the year of 1982 Government undertook the college. Ramkrishna Mahavidyalaya is affiliated under UGC 2(F) ,12B on and from the 4th March, 1989. The college was under the Calcutta University upto 1987 and from that very year Ramkrishna Mahavidyalaya continues its journey under Tripura University.
