Public Campus was established after education advocates and community members identified the need for bachelor-level education in Gramthan Rural Municipality. The campus received approval from Purbanchal University on Shrawan 30, 2059 BS and began its academic operation with a three-year B.Ed. program.

The establishment of the campus allowed students from Gramthan and nearby communities to continue higher education while remaining closer to their homes. Its development was shaped by the work of founder Mr. Ravidananda Chaudhary and the involvement of education advocates, social workers, intellectuals, political representatives, and other local supporters.
