History
In 1872, the General Committee of the South Suburban Group of Schools was established, presided over by mathematician Sir Asutosh Mukherjee. Forty-three years later, in 1915, permission was sought to establish a college in South Calcutta. A year later the government of India approved an upgrade of South Suburban School to an intermediate college: South Suburban College. Sir Asutosh was named as president of its governing body. The college began operations in July 1916, on Lansdown Road in Calcutta. A year later, it was moved to Russa Road. In 1918, the intermediate college was upgraded to a degree college, offering English, Bengali, Sanskrit, Philosophy, History and Economics (Political Economy and Political Philosophy).
After Sir Asutosh died in 1924, the college was renamed after him. Teaching of science subjects began in the following year. In 1927, the Asutosh Mukherjee Memorial Institute appealed to Calcutta Corporation for a parcel of land in Hazra Park, to be leased for the construction of a new building, including a library and an auditorium.
