Suryabhakta Patanadevi Memorial College (SPM College) is established with a vision of contributing to the development of education at Gaindakot VDC of Nawalparasi district. Establishment of this college prevented the need of crossing Narayani River in search of higher education. To fill this need, Gaindakot needed a public college which can offer education in different fields that becomes affordable for all people. This college was named after the well-known social person respected Suryabhakta Adhikari and his spouse Mrs. Patanadevi Adhikari for their initial offering of the land and other funds for the founding of a public college.
