Ranchi Women's College

Founded in 1949, Ranchi Women’s college has carved out a niche for itself in the world of higher education for women in social sciences/humanities, sciences and commerce. It is located in Ranchi, the capital of Jharkhand. Jharkhand has recently been created by dividing the province of Bihar and is socially and economically backward and has a large proportion of tribal population which has not benefited from development in other parts of India. It is located in the capital city and in an urban area but caters to the needs of the nearby tribal areas as is reflected by the large number of tribal students. It aims to develop the all-round development of personality, bring out the latent qualities of the students and urge them to undertake creative activities. It also addresses the employment prospects of the girls and to achieve equal opportunity in society. Since most of their students come from lower strata of society the college intends to help them shape their inner and outer personality into confident, self-reliant, and emancipated persons without any inferiority complex or hesitation.
