Pranabananda Women'S College

This college is guided by the Philosophy that there is a latent potentiality in each individual, which properly harnessed, makes the individual an asset to the society. This leads to the national objective for creating a strong base for human resource development. Women till now suppressed and discriminated in our society, can act as an active partner for social reconstruction, national rejuvenation and welfare of mankind, if they are given the opportunity to develop their latent potentialities. At the same time education is also one of the most important means of empowering women with the knowledge, skills and self-confidence necessary to participate fully in the decision making and in the development process. This is true not only because education is an entry point to other opportunities, but also because the educational achievements of women can create a ripple effect within the family and across generations. Investing in women?s education is one of the most effective ways to tackle poverty and investments specially in Higher education for women can yield rich dividends. Keeping this school of thought in view, this college, empowers quality and holistic education in Arts & Commerce at the college level to women in general and to those women who could not pursue post-matric studies for want of adequate facilities in particular.
