History

The college was founded by Sh. B. N. Roy of The Roy Villa, Katrasgarh together with his brothers[3] in the name of their father, Late Sh. Prasanna Kumar Roy (popularly known by the name, P. K. Roy). It was founded to realise P. K. Roy's philanthropic aim of building a modern India through higher education and entrepreneurship.[3] The Roy family of Katrasgarh (now living in Dhanbad) donated vast areas of their personal land[3] and spent huge sums of money in design and construction[3] of the state-of-the-art college of that time which welcomed its very first batch of students in 1960.[4]

The Roy family also participated very actively in ensuring effective administration of the college. The subsequent generation took the onus of further developing the college with all sincerity and dedication to propel the institution to the dizzy heights of glory.[5] It was under Sh. Bijoli Kanti Roy's patronage that P. K. Roy Memorial College touched new heights and gained new dimensions.[5] The Roy family and its subsequent generations have played an important role in shaping the future of Jharkhand's youth and of the city of Dhanbad by establishing this abode of learning.[3]
