About MDCMKG
Established on 25th June 2016 under the visionary initiative of the Government of Odisha, Model Degree College, Malkangiri stands as a beacon of higher learning and social transformation in one of the most aspirational districts of India. Affiliated to Berhampur University, the college was founded with a noble mission — to empower the youth from the most underprivileged and tribal communities of the region through quality higher education, character building, and holistic development.
Nestled amidst the serene natural beauty of Malkangiri, the college reflects both the purity of its surroundings and the aspirations of its people. Located approximately 640 km from Bhubaneswar, 420 km from Raipur (Chhattisgarh), 476 km from Hyderabad (Telangana), and 256 km from Visakhapatnam (Andhra Pradesh), it enjoys a geographically strategic position connecting multiple states. The nearest airport and railway connectivity are available at Jeypore, about 110 km from the campus.
With a commitment to nurture intellectual curiosity and creativity, the college offers undergraduate programs in Science, Humanities, and Commerce, designed to equip students with knowledge, skills, and values that prepare them for the challenges of a rapidly changing world.
Model Degree College, Malkangiri, is not merely an institution—it is a movement towards inclusive education, regional upliftment, and nation-building. It seeks to transform young minds into responsible citizens and future leaders who will contribute to the social, cultural, and economic development of both the region and the nation.
As the college continues to grow, it envisions becoming a center of excellence in higher education—where learning meets purpose, and education leads to empowerment.
