The foundation stone of this institute was laid in the year 1962 by the industrialist Late Shri Sudhir Kumar Sen in the outskirts of Asansol. Shri Sudhir Kumar Sen was also the founder of the cycle manufacturing factory popularly known as Raleigh Cycle. Later with the aim of imparting education among the children of this locality, Shri Sen established Kanyapur Education Society under the umbrella of which a technical education institute was established on 16 July 1965 named as Sudhir Sen Polytechnic. At that time a three-year diploma course of Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering was stated.
