Cane Societies Nehru College is the most reputed College in the Arts Faculty in the district of Hardoi. It's Founder, Late Sri Mohan Lal Verma, a well-known Freedom Fighter, made continuous and concerted efforts for establishing it in a district where there was no Centre of Higher Education in and around within the range of 50 km. The Institution came into existence on 10th October, 1965 and started imparting education from a two storeyed building in front of District Hospital.

Cane Growers Cooperative Society and Cane Developers Society have contributed the most for its establishment. With the efforts of the then Managing Committee and the Principal the college, it shifted to its sprawling campus of 11 acres near Lucknow Chungi, the panoramic view of which is highly attractive.

The management of the college passed into the hands of Authorised Controller and District Magistrate, Hardoi in 1978. Ever since under the patronage, dynamic and benevolent guidance of the District Magistrate, the institution is catering to the needs of higher education of not only the students of the area but also the students coming from far flung areas as well.

Since its inception one of the most important objectives of the college has been to impart knowledge rising above the petty considerations of caste, religion, race, sex etc. so as to develop amongst them all universal brotherhood, feeling of nationalism and sense of social responsibility. To add to all-round development of the personality of the students, the extra - curricular activities like NCC, NSS, Rovers & Rangers and sports activities are also incorporated and conducted by the college. Faculties of the college strive hard to ensure that students acquire and imbibe high values of life.
