The farsighted vision of Maharani Tara Devi with regards to dissemination of education among the women of Jammu fructified in the establishment of Maharani Mahila College on 1ST.June, 1944. On 25Th. November,1953 the college was taken over by the government of Jammu & Kashmir and renamed as Government College for Women, Parade Ground, Jammu. What started as a noble thought, a progressive outlook with limited outreach as initially only Arts courses were taught, has metamorphosed into an institution offering UG programmes in Arts, Science, Commerce, BCA and PG in Music, Home Sciences, Zoology, English and Computer Applications(MCA). The college through sheer dint of hard work and focused approach has evolved into an institution conscious to the aspirations, needs, and challenges (academic and employability) of nearly 6500 students presently pursuing education in about 30 subjects/courses at various levels
Commitment to work for empowerment of women. The belief that every noble endeavour starts from a scratch.
The College endeavours to evolve into a centre for learning destined to nurture students with scientific, literary and creative temperament, and cultivate sensibility about responsibilities, human values and skills for sustenance.
