Overview | Bethune College, Kolkata

Bethune College, a center for academic excellence and achievement, started its journey in 1879. Being the first women's college in India as well as in Asia, Bethune College produced the first two female graduates of the entire British colonial Empire who made their mark, left significant contributions, and inspired generations to come. Since its establishment, Bethune College has helped in enlightening women's lives by playing a pivotal role in women's education and emancipation.

The journey of Bethune College began on 16th June 1879. The Calcutta Gazette published the news of the appointment of Baboo Sosi Bhusan Dutt, (Lecturer of Ravenshaw College, Cuttack) on 16th June 1879 as the First Lecturer of the College Department of Bethune School. Therefore, 16th June 1879 has been accepted as the foundation day of Bethune College. The College owes its origin to John Elliot Drinkwater Bethune (1801-1851) who established Calcutta Female School, the first school for girls in Calcutta with the help of Raja Dakshinaranjan Mukhopadhyay, Ramgopal Ghosh, and Pandit Madan Mohan Tarkalankar in 1849, with 21 girls on its roll. J.E.D Bethune arrived in India in 1848, as a Law Member of the Governor General's Council and by virtue of his position, Bethune became the President of the Council of Education.
