Ramakrishna Mission Shilpamandira started its functioning as a Polytechnic from 1954 in the faculty of Licentiate in Engineering (3 years Diploma) and Junior Technical Education in the year 1963 in the vision of Swamiji’s man-making, character-building ‘Real Education’ which enable one to stand on one’s legs.

In 1959 alumnus of Shilpamandira started Re-Union the banner of Praktan Chhatra Parishad. During the year 1966 Praktan Chhatra Parishad converted to Chhatra Punarmilan Parishad to associate with the present students to manifest their creative talent in the essence of competence.

Subsequently, in order to regular introspecting with the thoughts of Swamiji’s vision Chhatra Punarmilan Parishad merged with Alumni association which came in its appearance on the memorable day 15 th.
