The increasing number of students could not be accommodated in the small building. So, the college was shifted to the present building in Unit-I allotted by the State Government in the 1980. In the year 1986, the college was renamed as 'Kamala Nehru Women's College'. The institution is proud to be named after such a personality and always tries to follow the foot step of that great lady.

     We are also very much grateful to our Ex. Chief Minister of Orissa Late Biju Patnaik for his love, affection and greatness, who has donated nearly 3 acres of landed property with building in the year 1991 where at present the college is functioning.

     Having been started with noble purpose of providing opportunities for higher education to women, the college caters to the need of teaching only in Arts stream. On its onward march, by realizing the importance of Science, Information Technology, Commerce and banking of human activities, the institution started the facility for providing Science education and Commerce education both at Higher Secondary and Degree level. When we look back from here, the very perception of opening avenue has perfectly come true, as it is evident from the fact that some of our students have pursuing higher studies in Engineering, Medical, Biotechnology, Microbiology, MBS etc.
