About GOVT. COLLEGE BARSAR

Government College Barsar, established on January 29, 2007, is a premier co-educational institution located in the Hamirpur district of Himachal Pradesh. Spread across a sprawling 8.12-acre campus in the serene village of Baroli, the college was founded by the Department of Higher Education, HP, to cater to the academic needs of the rural youth. It is affiliated with Himachal Pradesh University (HPU), Shimla, and is recognized under Section 2(f) of the UGC Act, 1956. The college has earned a 'C' Grade accreditation from NAAC, reflecting its commitment to maintaining educational standards in a rural setting. The institution offers a wide array of undergraduate programs in Arts, Science, and Commerce streams, alongside modern professional courses like BCA, BBA, and PGDCA which are managed under the Higher Education Institute Society (HEIS). With a dedicated faculty where over 60% of teachers hold PhD degrees, the college emphasizes both academic excellence and holistic development. The campus is equipped with modern infrastructure including smart classrooms, a well-stocked library, specialized science laboratories, and a dedicated UGC Resource Centre for internet access. Beyond academics, students are encouraged to participate in NSS, NCC, and Rovers & Rangers, fostering a spirit of community service and leadership. Its location on the Una-Barthin State Highway ensures connectivity for students traveling from far-flung hilly areas, making it a pivotal educational hub in the region.
