BRIEF HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE Suliapada is the block headquarters of Baripada Sub-division of Mayurbhanj District.

The History of P. S. College, Suliapada is the expansion of Higher Education in the

tribal Sub-plan area of Suliapada Block of Mayurbhanj District, Odisha. When there

was no such wide spread of Higher Education in this Tribal area, a few local

intellectuals of Suliapada Block of Mayurbhanj District felt the necessity of setting up
