*District Surajpur*, one of the newest districts in the state of Chhattisgarh, is a predominantly rural and tribal region known for its scenic beauty and hilly terrain. Rich in natural resources, the district holds vast potential for small-scale and cottage industries, especially those based on forest and agricultural produce. Its mineral wealth, lush forests, captivating tourist destinations, and vibrant tribal folk culture narrate a story of natural abundance and cultural richness.
Despite these strengths, Surajpur remains economically and educationally underdeveloped, posing significant challenges for its overall growth. In response to these challenges, *Government Naveen Mahavidyalaya, Premnagar*, was established in the southern part of the district. The college was founded with the vision of bringing higher education to this remote, tribal-dominated area. Since its inception, the institution has been steadily progressing, aligned with the hopes and aspirations of the rural population.
