Patna Women's College
is a prestigious college in Patna which has an unparallel standard,
name and fame not only in Patna or Bihar or India but in other
countries as well. Several foreign students come to study here.
This college has completed its 60 years on 14th of September, 2000. The
Diamond Jubilee was celebrated on that date and the function was inaugurated
by the Chancellor of the University and was presided by the Vice Chancellor
of the Patna University.
According to the Principal, this college had
to face lots of ups and downs at the time of its establishment
in 1940 by Bishop B. J. Sulivan who put his undaunted efforts
for that. At that time, there was no college for women in the
State. In the beginning, the college was given the permission
by the Senate of Patna University to teach up to the Intermediate
level in Arts. Within three years, because of outstanding results,
the college became recognized for higher studies. It became a
unit of the Patna University in 1952. Till 1988, the college
had to wait for starting the studies of Science up to the standard
of graduation due to shortage of space. Putting up a college
for women was a tough task for Sulivan in those days when people
generally opposed education of the girls and women in the society.
