Once known for its academic aura and cutting-edge laboratories, Patna Science College is planning to get a commemorative pillar on its campus for marking the foundation of the ninety-four-year-old institution.

The historical institute has iconic heritage buildings on its campus and the college was inaugurated by then Viceroy of India Lord Irwin on November 15, 1928. 

The heritage blocks also include buildings of Physics, Statistics, Geology, Zoology, Chemistry, Botany and Mathematics departments and a huge building facing the main ground which also houses the gym.

Dr Shree Ram Padmadeo, Principal of the college, said, "We have conceived a foundation pillar which will depict the inception of the institution in the 1920s. We are consulting faculty of the Patna College of Arts and Crafts, and the pillar will have four faces, portraying elements to signify various departments. The main administration building will also be depicted on it," as quoted by NDTV.

“The foundation pillar is planned to be installed in the open space between the rear facade of the administrative block and the side facade of the gymnasium building. The idea is to incorporate symbolically all the departments in one single column. It will be a first of its kind pillar," he added.

The college offers the following courses - Bachelor of Biotechnology, B.Sc. (Hons.) in Mathematics, B.Sc. (Hons.) in Biology, B.Sc. in Computer Application, B.Sc. (Hons.) in Biology, Bachelor of Environmental Science, B.Sc. (Hons.) in Physics, B.Sc. (Hons.) in Biology.
