Calcutta Girls’ B.T. College holds a significant place in the educational history of Kolkata as one of the pioneer institutions dedicated to the training of women teachers. Established during a time when women’s education itself was still struggling for acceptance in many parts of the country, this institution emerged as a beacon of progress and empowerment for generations of women educators.

The foundation of this historic college can be credited to Kalishanker Gupta and Latika Gupta, visionary reformers who recognized the urgent need for an institution offering training exclusively for women teachers. They worked tirelessly to carve a space where women could be professionally trained to teach, thereby multiplying the impact of women’s education across Bengal and beyond.
