Prafulla Chandra College, located at the heart of the southern part of the city, tries to eke out for itself a unique position. It is an evening college and has been successfully providing higher educational opportunities to students trying to pursue their academic careers while doing a job to support their respective families in terms of economic livelihood.The college also believes that the need of the hour is not only an academic qualification but also the holistic development of students that can create good citizens. The most distinctive effort of the college, in developing passion for social work and expertise among the students is realised through the St John Ambulance division of the college. Since 1962, the Ambulance Division’s Prafulla Chandra Wing has been actively providing training and engaging students in various kinds of social services primarily in 3 ways –
It offers hands-on training on First Aid to the students.
It organises various social welfare programmes, like free health check-ups, blood donation camps, awareness programmes etc.
It takes part in events like Gangasagar Mela, PuriRatha Yatra, etc. Taking our students along, the Ambulance Wing of the college constantly offers its help in managing the big events with their constant medical support.
There are many such activities that St. John Ambulance with the students of the college associate with. The college is justifiably proud of the St John Ambulance, its work ethic, and the way it constantly inspires the students to look beyond selfish interests and serve others.
