Lady Keane College

Lady Keane College, a pioneer in the field of women?s education in the North- Eastern region of India, was established in the year 1935. With a legacy of eighty years of eventful existence, the college has to its credit a record of very distinguished service rendered to the cause of upliftment and empowerment of women through the spread of liberal education. The institution today, in many ways, is synonymous with the socioeconomic transformation taking place in the region and beyond. Our commitment to quality found its stamp of approval from the National Accreditation and Assessment Council (NAAC), Bangalore this year when this apex autonomous agency entrusted with the responsibility of assessing and accrediting institutions of higher learning in the country reaccredited our institution and awarded ?A? Grade with our quality profile standing at 3.09 (CGPA) on a 4 point scale. In 1935, a number of prominent citizens of Shillong convened a meeting and resolved to start an Intermediate College for girls. A managing committee was constituted with Shri A. Das as the Secretary. A bungalow called ?Groveside? was acquired. The Bungalow housed the College for two years and was the nucleus of all the activities related to the acquisition of a permanent site for Lady Keane College. It was in the first meeting of the Managing Committee at the Groveside on the 23rd of May 1935 that a resolution was passed to open an Intermediate College for the next academic session commencing in July, 1935. Subsequently, the College was affiliated to the Calcutta University in 1938. In 1948, it came under the jurisdiction of the Gauhati University and the North Eastern Hill University in 1973.
