BSSS College is situated 1 km from Habibganj Railway station, 9 km away from Bhopal main Railway station and 16 km away from International Airport. The Bhopal School of Social Sciences was envisioned and established in 1972 by the founding chairman of the college, the then Archbishop of Bhopal late Rt. Rev. Dr. Eugene D'Souza, in response to the felt need of the time for a broad based, job oriented curriculum with focus on social service and entrepreneurship. Over the course of the past 37 years BSSS has evolved into one of the premier educational institutes of India shaping the educational landscape of the state.

A variety of extension and co-curricular activities and programmes was initiated by Rt. Rev. Dr. Pascal Topno Archbishop Emeritus aid the learning process and keep the learners active and involved. Enriching teacher students interaction, sharing of responsibilities, ethical development and social awareness help bring about the integrated development of our learners during this period.
