BSSS COLLEGE, HABIBGANJ, BHOPAL

About Institution

The Bhopal School of Social Sciences was envisioned and established in 1972 by the founding chairman of the college, the then Archbishop of Bhopal Dr. Eugene D'Souza, in response to the felt need of the time for a broad based, job oriented curriculum with focus on social service and entrepreneurship. Since its inception, BSSS has evolved into one of the premier educational institutes of Madhya Pradesh shaping the educational landscape of the state.

Initially known for its Social Sciences and Management courses, which were indeed a novelty in the 70s and 80s, it grew and diversified to meet the changing needs of time and education, with the introduction of courses in Commerce, Information Technology, Teacher Education and Physical Education. The Undergraduate programmes were further developed with the addition of Post Graduate courses in Social Work, English Literature, Commerce and Business Administration. The college offers an International MBA through collaboration with Assumption University, Bangkok, in keeping with its sensitivity to global needs. It subsequently forayed into the area of Physical Education and Teacher Education with B P Ed, M P Ed and B Ed.
