Nistarini College
Nistarini (Women's) College is the oldest women's college in Purulia district, West Bengal, India, established on 17 August 1957. It offers undergraduate courses in both arts and sciences, and is affiliated to Sidho Kanho Birsha University, recognized by the University Grants Commission, and accredited by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council with an A grade in 2016. The college began in a rented house called "Swapan Puri" on Ranchi Road, Purulia, with its foundation stone laid by then-President of India Dr. Rajendra Prasad, before moving to its permanent location on 16 April 1958. It was founded by Sri Jimut Bahan Sen, and its origins trace back to the Summer House of Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Das, where his parents and sister Amala Devi had earlier promoted women's education. After the institution's temporary closure following the deaths of its founders, then Chief Minister Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy revived it as Nistarini Women's College. The college offers science subjects such as Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Botany, Zoology, Nutrition, Computer Science, and Environmental Science, and arts subjects including Music, Economics, Physical Education, Santhali, Bengali, English, Sanskrit, Hindi, History, Geography, Political Science, Philosophy, and Education. The current principal is Dr. Indrani Deb.
