Recognizing the genuine need to further the cause of women’s
education, Dr. K. N. V. Sastri (1895- 1984),
noted scholar, author and professor in the area of Indian
History and Political science– envisioned an exclusive
women’s degree college in the northern part of Bangalore.
The outcome of his vision was the establishment of MAHARANI
LAKSHMI AMMANNI COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, with Dr.
M. N. Mahadevan as founder president and Sri
T. S. Rajam as vice president, and Dr. K
N V Sastri as founder – director cum coordinator.
With a strength of just 12 girls the College, affiliated to
Bangalore University, started functioning from 1972 in the
building of the nearby Government Boys’ School. Smt.
M. C. Vedavalli became the first principal and steered
the institution firmly towards the consolidation of the founders’
vision.
The present location of the college is in a highly academic
ambience, with a number of educational institutions in its
vicinity- the most prominent of them being the prestigious
Indian Institute of Science. In fact our founder Dr.
K. N. V. Sastri often said that the proximity of
I.I.Sc would be a source of inspiration to our students
to pursue their academic careers in the field of science.
In the three decades of its existence, the strength of
the college has grown phenomenally and is now around 4000(1900
of them being UG students). Over the years the college has
developed excellent infrastructure making optimum use of
the available space and it provides the best facilities
for the multidimensional growth of the students. The college
has constantly endeavoured to impart practically valuable
and value-based education for the all-round development
of young women who enter its portals. Responding dynamically
to the fast changing expectations of students and employers
the college strives to provide superior facilities and excellent
human resources. It is also renowned for its discipline
and its efficient handling of students in their adolescent
and formative years.
