DESCRIPTION :

Shri Shikshayatan College was conceived by its founding father¸ Late Sitaram Seksaria as an extension of Gandhiji?s nationwide Constructive Programme¸ embracing the emancipation and welfare of the Indian Women. It began its journey with the blessings of Pandit Vidhu Shekhar Shastri¸ the internationally famed scholar of Indian Thought and Culture. Since then¸ it has traversed a long path keeping pace with the growing needs of a fast changing society.

Shri Shikshayatan College was founded on 8th July¸ 1955 for girls under affiliation to the University of Calcutta. Established by the Marwaris¸ a linguistic minority¸ it is administered and managed by Shikshayatan Foundation ? (Formerly known as Marwari Balika Vidyalaya Society -registered under the Societies Registration Act) which runs it solely for educational and not for commercial purposes.

As a linguistic minority¸ it enjoys protection under Article 30(1) of the Constitution of India. Originally meant for imparting and promoting education among the girls of the Marwari community¸ it has over the years¸ opened its doors¸ in response to pressures for admission¸ to all eligible girl students irrespective of caste¸ creed¸ religion or language.
