Simulia College is the fulfilment of a long cherished dream of the people of Simulia Block. In the beginning of eighties, a few intellectuals immensely felt the necessity of establishing a college in this area to promote higher education. On one auspicious evening in 1981, they met in the temple of Lord Nilakantheswar at the initiation of the then M.L.A of Simulia Constitunecy Sri Parshuram Panigrahi who was also a lecture in Mathematics in Dhenkanal College, Dhenkanal. Needless to say Sri Parsuram Panigrahi is an eminent educationist in the Locality. His eminence energized to give birth to this institution. They unanimously resolved to establish a temple of higher learning. Thus the college started with 38 students on the rolls from the academic session 1981-82. The Public decided Parsuram Panigrahi, founder of the college to be the Secretary of the Governing Body. But he sacrificed the position to his elder brother Sri Muralidhar Panigrahi. Finally the Governing Body of the College was formed with Sri Muralidhar Panigrahi as Secretary and Sri Arjun Charan Sethi as the President. The College started functioning in the Local high school imparting education to Students of I.A. class only. Luckily, the college site fixed at Baghia field comprising 12.73 acres of Land. The college is highly indebted to this generous donation of land gifted by the villagers of Markona. The generous donation of money by Sri Muralidhara Panigrahi helped the college tide over the initial fixed deposit. At present, Sri Parsuram Panigrahi, M.L.A. Simulia is the President of Governing Body of this college.
