Tulasi Women's College

When literacy was at its lowest ebb, primary education was in doldrums, secondary education was suffering from malnutrition, Tulasi Women's College was born on the auspicious day 10th August 1979 under the active patronage of some pioneering freedom fighters of Kendrapara. It was a fight for freedom from women illiteracy, social taboos and patriarchal domination. The college was christened "Tulasi Women's College" after Goddess Tulasi, the bride of the presiding deity of Kendrapara Lord Sri Baladevjew. Higher education in the 70's in the state Odisha was in complete disarray. Institution of higher education were just below 100 compared to the present strength of 1200.
