Kamala Nehru College was founded in
1964 based on the idea that
women deserve, need and have a right to the sane level and
quality of education as men. Its teachers bring out a journal called AKADEMOS which has now got an ISSN registration, an international recognition. Every department also brings out a newsletter each. The college is one of the
only five colleges in
DU to offer an
undergraduate programme in journalism.
Kamala Nehru College stands for the
empowerment of today’s women and continues to exercise a strong influence on the personal, social, cultural and economic upliftment of the life of the
modern Indian woman.
Principal Minoti Chatterjee says:
“The whole idea of education in our college is to enhance liberal arts as
knowledge base. The college believes in the
empowerment, employment and employability of women. KNC also focuses on value education”
