Indraprastha College for Women, also known as Indraprastha College or IP College (Шаблон:Lang-hi),[1] is the oldest women's college in Delhi, India. Established in 1924, it is a constituent college of University of Delhi.[2][3][4]

The institution offers graduate and post-graduate courses in Economics, Liberal Arts, Commerce, Literature, Computer Science, Multimedia Media and Mass Communication.[5][6][7] In 2020, it was ranked 11th among arts colleges in India by India Today.[8]

History

The origins of IP College lie in the Indraprastha Girls School. It was founded in 1904, at the call of noted freedom fighter, educationist and theosophist Annie Besant by a group of Delhi theosophists, led by Lala Jugal Kishore, in Chhipiwara, Old Delhi. Intermediate school was added in 1924 and the Indraprastha College for Women, came into being, with Leonora Gmeiner (from Kapunda, South Australia) as its first principal.[9][10]

Soon the University of Delhi, which itself was founded in 1922, recognised it as a constituent college. Degree courses were introduced in 1930s and in 1938, the university listed I.P. College as a degree college. After its existence in Chhipiwara during its early years, the college moved to Chandrawali Bhawan, Civil Lines. It moved again to Alipur House at Alipur Road (now Sham Nath Road), the former office of the commander-in-chief in 1938, near Kashmiri Gate, where it is today. The building has become a heritage property.[11]

In 1952, the Kalavati Gupta Hostel named after the second principal of the college was inaugurated.[12]

On 3 July 1984, Diamond Jubilee celebrations of the college were held.[13]

In 2009, a hostel to accommodate 200 students was added on the Шаблон:Convert college premises.[14]
