In 1863 Debendranath Tagore opened an ashram in the center of the village called chatim tala or Brahmacharya Ashram (later Brahmacharya Vidyalaya ). In 1901 a school was connected to his youngest son, Rabindranath Tagore .

In 1951 the institution was recognized as a university, at the same time it was renamed to its current name. The library was opened in 1901 and still exists today. In 1927 a small teaching hospital was built which still exists today (35 beds).
