Lady Keane College

About

It all began in 1932 when, inspired by their own vision, Shri. Atulananda Das, IFS, Retd Deputy Conservator of Forest, Assam, and Rai Bahadur Jatindra Nath Chakravarty, the then Director of Agriculture, Assam realized the need for establishing an educational centre at Shillong to cater exclusively for the growing needs of female education at the secondary and collegiate level.

It was at their initiatives that the School wing commenced its journey in 1932 at Jail Road, Shillong. The college wing named as Shillong Girls' Intermediate College started functioning at Grove Side" premises in 1935 offering Intermediate Arts course. Eventually another accommodation at 'Sanat Kutir' was also rented for the purpose of using it as the hostel. We take pride to note that though the school happened to be the Second Girls' School in the city of Shillong, the college was the first girls' college not only in Shillong, but also in the entire North-East India.

In the year 1938 a Board of Trustees was formed termed as the Governing Body of Lady Keane Girls High School and College, whose objectives were "to impart secondary and collegiate education to women and to do everything necessary and legitimate for the spread of liberal education in all branches, irrespective of caste, creed, religion or nationality and to carry on, fulfill and attain all that is near and akin to the object and purpose as fore said".The Trust also laid down (vide rule 17) "an Endeavour shall be made to secure the services of ladies to the extent of at least half of the total number of members and as far as possible being representative of different communities".In 1938, the college was affiliated to the Calcutta University.

And in 1948, the college became an affiliate of the Gauhati university. Since 1973 when the North Eastern Hill University was founded, the college became an affiliate of it and continues to remain as one of its prized affiliated colleges till date.
