Hooghly Womens College started pulsating in thee little concrete structure named “Mission House” with only 17 students in Chuchura Maidan in the banks of River Ganga in a day in the year 1943. After the Independence of India, in 1948, the Govt. of West Bengal adopted policies and programs to spread women’s education. Rejuvenated by the government policies, the educationists of Hooghly made a fresh venture to transform their dream into reality. In 1948 on 12th December, in the meeting held in the presence of the District Magistrate, C. Noronha, Director of Public Instruction Snehamoy Dutta, Nripendranath Dhar and 19 other distinguished personalities, and unanimous proposal to start college classes and courses was accepted. Thus under the benevolent effort of Bengal Mission, a wing of Scotland Church, classes of first year started on 1st August 1949, with only 41 students and four teachers in the tiny building of ‘Mission House’.
Hooghly Womens College is situated at 1, Vivekananda Road, Pipulpati P.O. & Dist. Hooghly, West Bengal. The first Principal to grace the chair of Hooghly Womens College was Sri Kalipada Mitra. In the historical first day of the college 41 students got lesson from four lecturers. Three months later, to the 4 teachers, each of Sanskrit, English, Geography and Philosophy was added a fifth teacher of Bengali. In 1951 Srimati Shantisudha Ghosh succeeded Kalipada Mitra as Principal. Student strength increased from 41 to 69, teachers 9, with two clerks and one peon. On February 1952, the Chief Minister Bidhan Chandra Roy inaugurated the new building. Henceforth classes ware held in this new building and from 1952 students were granted permission to appear in the University examination (Calcutta) of IA and B.A. To meet the growing demand of students coming from remote areas, a hostel building was constructed in 1958 in the college campus.

The number of students and teachers showed a steady rise. A full fledged Governing body assisted and advised the Principal on all matters concerning academics and administration. Grants flowed from U.G.C. Thus rooms were added to the first floor of the main building in 1998.
