About the College

Swami Vivekanand Government College, Ghumarwin, District Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh, was established in 1994 as a co-educational institution on the premises of Government Primary School, Kalari. From 1995 to 1999, the college operated from a rented campus. In 1999, it shifted to its own magnificent building, constructed by ACC Limited, Barmana.

Campus and Infrastructure

At present, the college campus is spread over 14.45 acres, with a total built-up area of 4,850.89 square metres. The institution provides educational opportunities to students from Ghumarwin and the surrounding areas.

Academic Programmes and Growth

At the time of its establishment in 1994, the college offered only the Arts stream. The Science and Commerce streams were introduced in 1998 to broaden the academic opportunities available to students.

Over the years, the college has expanded its academic offerings in response to students’ aspirations and educational requirements. The following programmes were introduced in different academic sessions:

Presently, the college offers 25 undergraduate programmes, six postgraduate programmes, and one add-on course, providing students with diverse academic and professional opportunities.

The college has been recognised by the University Grants Commission (UGC) under Sections 2(f) in 1999 and 12(B) in 2008. In 2014, the institution was accredited by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) and awarded a B Grade in its first accreditation cycle.

IGNOU Study Centre

To further expand access to higher education, an IGNOU Centre was established on the college campus in 2010. The centre facilitates educational opportunities for students and learners in the surrounding region.
