Hindu Mahila Vidyalaya

Hindu Mahila Vidyalaya (School for Hindu Women) was a boarding school located at 22 Beniapukur Lane, Entally, Kolkata, India, founded by Annette Akroyd^[1] The school made a break with the idea of a less taxing curricula for girls, and provided the same kind of learning for its students as was available for boys.^[2] Sources record different dates for the establishment of the school. While Jogesh C. Bagal, records the date of establishment as 18 November 1873^[1] David Kopf mentions it as 18 September 1873.^[3]

Dwarkanath Ganguly was the headmaster.^[3] Ananda Mohan Bose and Durga Mohan Das bore the expenses of the institution.^[4] Others involved in the school were Sivanath Sastri and Monomohun Ghose.^[2] Mrs. J. B. Phear was an honorary teacher.^[1]^[5] She went to the extent of teaching her students how to eat at table with cutlery.^[2]

After the marriage of Annette Akroyd, the school was closed in March 1876 for a short time and was revived on 1 June 1876 as Banga Mahila Vidyalaya (Bengali Women’s College).^[1]
