HISTORY

HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE           The College was initiated as a school in 1925 with the contribution of Rs. 25000/- from Maharani Sahiba Kesar Kunwar of Kota. The school was promoted to Inter-college in 1946 and then to Under-graduate College in 1958. An eminent independence activist and Social Reformer Padma Vibhushan Smt. Janki Devi Bajaj donated the land for the present campus and thus the name given to the college is in her honor. As the campus developed with time in 1962 Science faculty and then in 1977 Commerce faculty was started and the college developed as a multi-disciplinary institute. Post Graduate classes in the faculty of Arts started in 1992, in Commerce faculty in 1996, and in Science faculty in 1999. The excellence of college is reflected in the ‘A’ Grade given to the college by NAAC in February 2014.           As the number of students in the college approached 10000, in session 2016-17, the college was divided into three colleges so as to achieve academic and administrative efficiency. The original name and infrastructure have been retained by the Science College.           The present college has Post Graduate classes in all the subjects.
