Thakur Jagdev Chand Memorial Govt. College Sujanpur-Tihra

Thakur J.C.M. Govt. College Sujanpur-Tihra was born when the Government of Himachal Pradesh decided on the 7th March, 2001 to takeover two local colleges viz. D.A.V. College for Women and Late Sh. Ramesh Chand Verma Memorial S.D. College and merged them to create a Government multi-faculty, co-educational institution affiliated to Himachal Pradesh University and gave it its present name after Thakur Jagdev Chand Ji, a legendry political figure of Himachal Pradesh.

The College is located at Sujanpur-Tihra in the Hamirpur Distt. This is an important historical place in this hilly region. At one time it was the Capital city of a flourishing kingdom on the bank of river Beas, ruled by famous Maharaja Sansar Chand. The College is affiliated to Himachal Pradesh University, Shimla and is under 2f and 12(B) recognition of the U.G.C. It is situated in the rural area of Hamirpur District and draws its students from the surrounding towns and villages of three districts, Kangra, Mandi and Hamirpur.

It is entirely managed and funded by the State Government. The College offers three undergraduate programmes in Commerce, Arts and Science streams. Still in its developing and nascent stage, the college is growing by leaps and bounds day by day.
