Markanda National College

Markanda National College, Shahabad Markanda was established in 1971 by M.N. College Educational Society primarily to cater to the educational needs of this predominantly rural area. At that time, no co-educational college existed at Shahabad, Ladwa, Ismailabad, Pheowa and even at Kurukshetra- the seat of Kurukshetra University, except University College, where only a limited number of students could get admission on merit basis. The establishment of this college proved to be a boon for this area. Ever since its inception, the college has not looked back and making significant strides, has developed into a multifaculty institution, imparting instructions in English at Post-graduate level and in Arts, Science and Commerce streams at Under-graduate level. The college also runs successfully two job-oriented add-on-courses (i) Retail Management and (ii) Information and Computer Technology and one PG diploma in Yoga. The college was accredited by NAAC with ‘B’ grade in first
