MILESTONES

The college was established on 17th July, 1932, by Shyamaprasad Mukherjee, in responseto the growing demand for centres of women's education in Kolkata. It began its existenceas the women's section of Asutosh College and functioned within the latter's premises inthe morning hours. The first Principal of the college was Panchanan Sinha and Vice-principal Kalidas Sen. Distinguished Bengali author, Lila Majumdar was its first professor.

The college became a separate establishment in 1957 when it was delinked from AsutoshCollege and affiliated to Calcutta University as Asutosh College for Women. It was renamedJogamaya Devi College in 1958 after the demise of Lady Jogamaya Devi, the noble andspirited wife of Sir Asutosh Mukherjee, and mother of Shyamaprasad Mukherjee.

The women's section of Asutosh College was started with 155 students enrolled for the I.A.course in 1932. It was a matter of great pride for the college that six of its students wererank-holders in the I.A. examination of 1946. Teaching of science subjects began in 1936.

New disciplines were subsequently introduced by its dynamic and farsighted leaders whowere always aware of the demands of the changing educational scenario. An annex buildingwas built in 5A, Rajeswar Dasgupta Road in 1992 to accommodate the students enrolled forthe new courses. Jogamaya Devi College was the first women's college to start the GeologyHonours Course in1956. The NCC Training Course was started under the leadership ofPrincipal Jyotish Chandra Banerjee. Arundhati Sen, the first lady principal of the college,began the Zoology (Hons) Course. Principal Dr. Subrata Gupta, introduced the Botany(Hons.), Statistics (Gen.), Sociology (Gen.), B.Com (Gen.) and Communicative English(Major) Courses and also established the Computer Centre. The B.Com (Hons.), Psychology(Hons.) and Sociology (Hons) Courses were introduced by Principal Gargi Nath.
