About Institution

A tiny village named Rajiawas, in the erstwhile state of Bikaner, was picked up by His Highness Sir Ratan Singh to develop into a city after the name of his loving son Sardar Singh in 1890. The area was perhaps ruled by the Mohils of that time. A statue of Indrapal Mohil at the town side is a testimony to the fact .The area in the thick of Thar desert is characterized by huge mounds of sand and blowup of hot and cold winds in summers and winter respectively.
The important milestones in the development of the city:
(a) Facility of Rail service launched in 1916.
(b) Establishment of Ganga Golden Jubilee high school in 1937.
(c) Roadways bus depot in 1974.
(d) Beginning of SBBJ banking activities in 1938.
(e) Postal services in 1928.
(f) Foundation of college (Seth Budhmal Dugar College) in 1959.
(g) Public library in 1909.
(h) Mega highway in 2008.
Since its establishment, the town of Sardarsahar has been steadily developing into a prosperous city, though its progress was disrupted by the disastrous femine of 1899.
Presently it is a Tehsil headquarter and covers 210 villages with a population of more than one lakh people.
