Education has been considered as a key instrument for social change and progression. The present decade is marked by an increasing awareness of the necessity of women’s empowerment, for it plays an important role in the development of a country. Higher education for women has become a policy agenda for many developing nations including India. Government of West Bengal has also taken various steps to enhance women’s position by means of education. Establishment of this Government College for Girls at Ekbalpur, Kolkata is a part of this endeavour. The college is directed to spread and improve the quality of education among all sections of women in the society.
