Historical evolution of this College started with primary education for girls, being managed and maintained by a non – government organization named Jan – Kalyan Trust. It evoked overwhelming response from the society. Encouraged by the ever increasing number of admissions in High school, the members of Jan Kalyan trust decided to establish an institution for higher education. Inflow of the students encouraged members of the trust to establish an institution for women. Late Pandit Girindra Mohan Mishra, a great jurist and an aide of Raj Darbhanga, Late Lala Padmanabh Prasad, a benevolent person and a great scholar of philanthropic taste and Dr. LK Mishra, a great academician took up this mammoth task and successfully established a tutorial college naming it as Maharani Rameshwari Mahila Tutorial college in 1958, associating themselves as members of the governing body.
