Sarsuna College is a relatively new Institution of Higher Learning under the University of Calcutta. It  started to function as an Evening College in the building of Sarsuna High School. The college had no  wealthy patrons, no endowments in land or property and no institutional grounding. It was born and  nurtured on the incredible commitment, zeal and gritty determination of new extraordinary individuals and  the accumulated hard-earned donations of hundreds of people whose dreams are embodied in this sprawling  four storied structure and nurtured in the growth and progress of its two thousand strong student  community.

It is the aim of this college to maintain both the pace and the multifaceted nature of this progress. We  the college are firm in our resolution to stand Janus like between yesterday and tomorrow rooted in the  reality of the present; not denying the past while welcoming the future. The college believes that the  Education is a means and an end, a journey and destination, a challenge and provider of solutions. The  college is committed to the creation of intellectual space where students from various social, cultural,  economic and educational backgrounds find the necessary freedom and stimulus to discover and nurture  individual talents.

Finally since no development individual or collective is possible without institutional discipline, the  college is committed to make no compromises on this score. The objective of this college is aptly embodied in  the immortal words of Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore, a part of which forms its motto, "Let the divine  fire of knowledge enlighten, purify and discipline human soul".
