Lyallpur Khalsa College for Women

Lyallpur Khalsa College for Women is located in Jalandhar, Punjab. It was established in 1960 as a girl's section of the Lyallpur Khalsa College with the efforts of Principal Ram Singh Sachdev. He managed both colleges for two years before the management committee agreed to appoint Mrs Avtar Kaur Singh as the first female Principal and Mrs Dan Kaur her deputy. This gave the college more autonomy. However, overtime it has become an independent, self-supporting school. The hostel has a dormitory established on campus. A gurudwara on campus also allows the Sikh population to pray during religious holidays.
