A pioneering heritage institution established in 1886, dedicated to the intellectual emancipation, holistic empowerment, and advanced higher education of women in Northern India.
Established in 1886 by the visionary Lala Devraj, Kanya Maha Vidyalaya (KMV) stands as a monumental pillar in the history of women’s education in India.

For over 137 years, KMV has been relentlessly illuminating the path of female empowerment through value-based quality education.
Today, KMV is an Autonomous institution affiliated with Guru Nanak Dev University (GNDU) and has been bestowed with the rare "Heritage Institution" status by the Government of India. It has also earned the prestigious "Star College" status from the Department of Biotechnology (DBT).
