History
As the winds of history
swept overIndia in the early years of the last century, a group of local
theosophists, led by Lala Jugal Kishore responded to the challenge to bring
Indian women out of the purdah and into the classroom. Indraprastha Girls
School was founded in 1904 - a hopeful beginning in Chhipiwara in the old
city of Delhi.
Parents had to be coaxed
to send their daughters to school and purdah was strictly observed, but
the founders persisted doggedly in establishing the school and encouraging
the young girls to join.
In 1924, Intermediate classes
were introduced and the University of Delhi, itself founded in 1922, recognised
the Indraprastha Girls College, later to become famous all over the country
as the Indraprastha college for Women, our present name. Degree courses
were introduced in 1930'sand in 1938,the University recognised I.P. as
a degree college. A committed band of philanthropists - Lala Bal Krishan
Das, Lala Pyare Lal, Lala Sultan Singh and Dr. Ram Kishore among them -
provided every kind of assistance to supplement a small endowment fund
contributed by citizens of Delhi to keep the struggling institution on
its feet.
Housed in Chhipiwara in the
early years, followed by a stint in Chandrawali Bhawan, Civil lines, the
College eventually moved to Alipur House, the former office of Commander-in-Chief
in 1938, which it still inhabits.
In a University famed for
the architecture of some of its older colleges, Indraprastha College stands
out for the stately beauty of its sprawling, single storey red and yellow
building. In 2002 Indraprastha College has been marked as the Heritage
Building by the Government of Delhi and is going to be maintained by the
Government itself. Green lawns, ancient trees, a multitude of small birds
(even by the occasional peacock!) and a riot of flowers and ferns mark
the college as one of the most beautiful spots in the city. Additions have
been made to the building over the years, most notably the library, the
gymnasium, the hostel, the cafeteria, the auditorium and classrooms . Audio
visual centre and three well equipped Computer Labshave been added very
recently to accommodate our entry into the world of computers. A college
archive has also been setup where the history of IP College has been displayed
with old photographs and documents. Yet none of these additions impinge
on the grandeur of the original building, and this serves as a symbol of
what Indraprastha College stands for : the ability to guard its sense of
history and tradition while opening itself to the growing demands of successive
generations of students and teachers.
