From the Principal’s Desk

Savitri Girls’ College, affiliated to the University of Calcutta, was established by the Savitri Educational Charitable Trust on September 14th 1972, to make its students self sufficient, socially conscious and academically sound citizens. Located in the prominent Burrabazar locality in central Kolkata, the college that was begun to cater to the local populace now attracts students from all over the city. The college offers programmes and courses (within the scope of the university curriculum) that reflect the goals and the objectives of the institution.

Like any other educational institution Savitri Girls’ College aspires to impart quality learning to its students. We are however constrained due to infrastructural limitations and despite our best intentions we find ourselves unable to start a B.Sc programme. We nevertheless try to fully utilize the available resources by accommodating a wide range of activities from debates, seminars, workshops, book fairs, social programmes to sports and vocational courses from time to time. We have introduced computer training courses for the benefit of the students. Savitri Girls’ College in collaboration with Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) also offers distance learning programmes.
