The State Institute of Physical Education for Women (SIPEW) is located in a sprawling campus which was once the residence of Warren Hasting, Governor of India and later the first Governor General of India. After independence, the property was taken over by the Govt. of India and was subsequently handed over to the Govt.

of West Bengal for establishment of an educational complex devoted to women’s education. The idea started taking shape with the establishment of a teacher education college for women named Institute of Education for Women in the residential building of Hasting and the whole complex came to be known as Hastings’ House. Several other educational institutions, viz.

the Multipurpose Girls’ Govt. High School, Calcutta Primary Teacher Training Institute, a Balwadi Nursery School and a Polytechnic Hostel for Women came up in the campus. In the year 1975, on the occasion of the International Women’s Year, the Govt.

of West Bengal ventured into a new dimension in the field of Women’s education by establishing a women’s collage for Physical Education.
