History

The institution was founded in 1956 as Gardanibagh Tutorial College. It was located then at Patna High School and operated as an evening school to further the education of employees.[citation needed] It was subsequently[when?] renamed as Anugrah Narayan College in honour of Bihar Vibhuti Dr. Anugrah Narayan Sinha, one of the founders of modern Bihar, In 1959 the college moved to a rented building in Anisabad.[citation needed] The college moved to its present site[when?] when the Patna Improvement Trust provided it with 19 acres (77,000 m2) of land, following the intervention of Sinha.[citation needed]

Many prominent figures have been associated with the college,[citation needed] and its governing body has also featured notable people such as Chief Justice of Bihar Justice K. B. N. Singh, Satyendra Narayan Sinha, Rajiv Pratap Rudy, Kishori Sinha, Justice Birendra Pratap Singh, Sheo Narayan Singh and Sunil Mukherjee.The Union Minister Shri Rajiv Pratap Rudy[1] is a Lecturer in Economics at the A.N.

Many new courses in fields such as electronics and environmental sciences were introduced during the 1980s on the initiative of the University Grants Commission (India) and Government of Bihar,[citation needed]
