The Victoria Institution, originally named as the Native Ladies Normal and Adult School, was founded on 1st February, 1871, by Brahmananda Keshub Chandra Sen under the auspices of the Indian Reform Association of which he was the President. The aim of the Institution as laid down by Keshub Chandra Sen was to build up a scheme of education "specially adapted to the requirement of the female mind and calculated to fit woman for her position in the society." Education, Keshub believed, should be "both natural and national" and his followers pursued the aim with apostolic fervor while nurturing the Institution.

In 1932, the college section of the Institution was set up under the patronage of Maharani Suniti Devi, Maharani Sucharu Devi (daughters of Keshub Chandra) and other Board members among whom was Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy who took keen interest in the growth of the Institution and remained associated with it till death.
The college which started LA. course in 1932 soon became a first grade wom­en's college teaching upto B.A. Honours course in several subjects (1935). The science section of the college was opened in 1950. To meet the growing demand from the girls aspiring for higher education the morning section of the college was opened in 1963. In the Platinum Jubilee Year (2006-07) the college introduced B. Com (Hons.) and B.A./B.Sc. (Major) Vocational Streams. At present the college has 8 departments in Arts and 8 departments in Science sections conducting Honours, Major and General courses for nearly 2400 students. It is a study centre for distance education of Netaji Subhas Open University.

Over the years goals and objectives of the Victoria Institution College have been redefined keeping in mind women's growing role in different sectors of public life. But Keshub Chandra Sen's "comprehensive scheme of education" through special lectures, distance education ('antapur shiksha'), vocational training and physical training still forms the core of the education system of the V.I. College.

For more than seven decades the Victoria Institution College has been rendering commendable service for the promotion of women education in Bengal combining successfully heritage tradition with modernisation. The location of the college in the house of its Founder, a great soul, a harmonizer of all religions and one of the greatest social reformers of modern India, cannot fail to produce a wholesome and ennobling influence on the mind of the students and the staff of the college and inspire them to keep aloft the founder's ideal. The mission of the college is to realize founder's dream "one society, one religion, one world".

Principal's Desk

Since 1932, Victoria Institution (College) has inspired students to discover new opportunities, new challenges and new strengths through a holistic education in a setting dedicated to women. The primary goal of our Institution is to contribute to the public interest by providing high quality education through various academic programmes that shape students into socially committed citizen. Our Institution places the quality of students’ educational experience at the core of its concern and of its strategic plan.

Our programmes offer specialized education required to achieve students’ future endeavour. We offer General and Honours Courses in almost all the major subjects from Science, Arts and Commerce streams. While our highly qualified and dedicated teachers attend to these courses covering the fundamentals of these disciplines, and specialized topics, the crucial issues which we face as individuals in the social, in the national and the international arena are never allowed to be forgotten.

A new academic session is about to begin. We are giving our best efforts and planning to provide better infrastructure and better facilities to our students. The construction of a new four storey building within the college campus has been completed. I am also elated to inform that the first Computer Laboratory of the college has taken its shape along with an exclusive seminar hall.

It is my proud privilege to announce that we have started a Campus Placement facility. The college has endeavoured to bring an eminent corporate house like TCS for campus selections. This year seventeen students from our college have been recruited by TCS through campus interview.

I am confident that the students will seize the opportunity provided by this stimulating environment and they will enrich themselves to build a better future. On behalf of the entire (teaching and non-teaching) community of Victoria Institution (College), I welcome all the students and extend my good wishes to them and pledge to give our best to fulfill their dreams.
