Brahmo Balika Shikshalaya
Brahmo Balika Shikshalaya is a product of the Bengal renaissance. Three major Universities had been set up in 1857. A number of outstanding individuals with their roots in Indian culture and heritage but enlightened by Modern European education, surged ahead to modernize the female education of Indian society and Brahmo Balika Shikshalaya spearheaded this noble cause.
Parents in those days were reluctant to send their daughters to school. The Brahmo Balika Shikshalaya authorities combined modern education with Indian traditions instead of imbibing western habits and turning the girls into so called “memsahibs”. Their efforts were not in vain as along with time, the number of students increased.
