Established in 1939, Handique Girls´ College has been one of the most significant nerve centres of women´s education in North East India. The college was the realisation of a long-cherished dream of Rajabala Das, a visionary and pioneer in women´s education, who also served as its founding principal. The institution owes a great deal to the patronage and philanthropy of the late Radha Kanta Handique, whose support was instrumental in establishing the first institution of higher education for women in the undivided state of Assam.

Founded in 1939 by the visionary educator Late Mrs. Rajabala Das against the backdrop of India´s nationalist movement, Handique Girls´ College stands as one of the oldest and most respected institutions for women´s higher education in North-East India. Mrs. Das´s unwavering commitment to women´s empowerment found strong support in the philanthropy of Late Radha Kanta Handique, whose generosity played a pivotal role in establishing this premier centre for women´s education during pre-independence India.
