History Remuna is a scenic spot among the religious places of Odisha .It is popularly known as Guptabrindaban .The chief attraction of the place is the shrine of Lord Gopinath, Sri Sri Gargeswar Mahadev , Sri Ramchandi , Saptasara and Debighat as described in our mythology and goddess Astadasabhuja give recognition of the religious consciousness of Remuna to the whole world .It is belived that Lord Sri Ramchandra brought the water-flow of Saptasara river by casting the arrow for the bath of Sitadevi here . Sri Ramachandra brought Sri Ramachandi into being here so that Sitadevi could worship. Sri Ramachandra also brought Sri Gargeswar Mahadev here who was worshiped by Banasur. In the past, owing to distance and lack of communication, many a guardian of the students of the locality, especially those of the girl students, dare not even think of providing higher education to their children. Sj Jayanta Ghosh , a renowned personality not only of Balasore but also of Odisha, was the first person to bother about eradicating the above problem. His undaunted spirit and unflinching faith in this regard will ever inspire the common people in the days to come. His dream could be reality when “Remuna Degree College “ labeled after the name of the locality was set up in Remuna, about seven kilometers away from the headquarters, Balasore in 1996 with a view to facilitate higher education to the students of the area and its vicinity. The sincere and benevolent effort of Ex – MLA, Nilgiri Mr. Pradipta Panda in mobilizing the interest and gravitating financial support of the local people for setting up of the institution is virtually laudable .The institution could thrive on the largesse of the renowned magnates , professionals and common people of the area. Ever-increasing student strength made the founders of the college call for financial assistance from the well-wishers to construct the first floor and the second floor of the building .Thus the accommodation for additional classrooms could be arranged . The office could be shifted to a separate building and the library has been set up on the first floor of the office building funded by the UGC. The Boys’ Hostel has been established in the college premises and the Girls’ Hostel funded by the UGC has been recently set up. The college imparts higher education in Humanities , Science , and Commerce streams at +3 level with Honours in History , Political Science , Odia , Sanskrit , Home Science , Economics , Mathematics, Physics , Botany , Chemistry and Accounting . The college would not have been what it is today but for the noble efforts of Ex – MLA Nilgiri and former President of the college Mr. Pradipta Panda. He has been instrumental in making the college disseminate higher education and enlighten the young generation for all times to come through the selfless devotion and sincerity of the both teaching and non-teaching staffs of the college. The college could be able to produce meritorious students who have proved their excellence in academics, sports, co-curricular and extracurricular activities .The college is now in the position to be accredited by the NAAC.
