Principal’s Desk

Since its creation on 14th of August 1956, with fewer than 50 students and very few teachers and staff, Sarojini Naidu College for Women, has evolved into a large multidisciplinary educational Institution providing quality education in regular and vocational streams to the thousands of students from the northern fringes of the city of Kolkata and its neighbourhood.
Today after 50 years our mission of spreading education to the socially and economically backward and deprived section of the population continues and when we look back we cherish the unequivocal support and dedication of teachers and staff members which have forever strengthened our resolve to give our best to the society.
