Vasanta College For Women, VCW, Varanasi

Vasanta  College  For  Women, popularly known as VCW is situated in Rajghat, Varanasi. It is one of the oldest and reputable institutions in Varanasi affiliated with  Banaras  Hindu  University (BHU). Vasanta College for Women runs under the tutelage of  Krishnamurti  Foundation India, a  world-renowned Foundation devoted to the cause of education. It was established in the Theosophical Society building, Kamachha by  Dr.Annie  Besant on  7th  July,1913. Initially, it was started with only eight girl students, to promote women’s education in  India. In 1954, the College was shifted to the present  Rajghat campus by J.Krishnamurti, the World Teacher, on the land which was purchased in  1928  from the  British engineers who were returning after completing the railway-cum-road bridge over the river Ganga. The education and philosophy here is not limited to only words, but expanded in the antiquated beauty of nature surrounding the campus and the ever-flowing holy Ganga. The college is being guided with the collective ideologies and principles of eminent Dr.Annie Besant, Shri Jiddu Krishnamurti, and  Bharat Ratna Pt.Madan Mohan Malviya Ji.
