DESCRIPTION :

Basanti Devi College¸ named after Basanti Devi¸ was the first Government sponsored college for women in Kolkata to be founded by the Government of West Bengal in 1959. An eminent freedom fighter¸ Basanti Devi¸ wife of Sri Chittaranjan Das¸ was the first Indian lady to be imprisoned under British Rule for her involvement in the Indian freedom struggle.

Located at the junction of the urban and rural conglomerate¸ this premier college caters to the needs of girl students from both these areas. A large group of them are also from backward classes¸ minority communities and from below poverty line. The college offers scope for higher education for women with special needs.

Along with the Calcutta University stipulated academic curriculum¸ the college also offers scope for the empowerment of girl students by helping them to develop their self-help skills¸ self-reliance and independence.
