Jhargram Raj College (Girls' Wing) was established in 2014 in the forested town of Jhargram, located in erstwhile West Midnapore, now declared an independent district. While a number of other colleges were inaugurated in the same year by Smt. Mamata Banerjee, the honorable CM of West Bengal as part of a massive educational upliftment drive of Junglemahal, Jhargram Raj College (Girls‟ Wing) is the only college which serves to cater to the educational needs of women. This unique identity of the college as a safe haven for women who want to pursue higher education, who wish to carve a niche for themselves, who are willing to be masters of their own fate is of special importance in a marginalized area whose socio-economic conditions have not been conducive to the needs and voices of women. Women have been victims of double deprivation and systemic exploitation in this underprivileged geo-political location and it is through the light of education that Jhargram Raj College (Girls' Wing) seeks to lead the young women of the area to greater heights and to a better realisation of their own potential.
