History
Kripalu Mahila Mahavidyalay (KMM) was founded in 1998 as a self-financed, all-girls Institute. KMM started with Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) course in 1998 and added Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) course in the year 2005. In the year 2008, two more courses were added - Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) and Master of Arts (M.A.).
Since its establishment, the Institute has transformed from a basic local village school to one that can be compared to the likes of the city colleges. Much required renovation of the college infrastructure was initially done, and as the years progressed, campus facilities have been added one by one to provide students with an environment that is not only comfortable and friendly, but also motivates them to acquire knowledge in various ways.
To encourage education, the Institute has always charged the most minimal fee possible from its students, however in December 2010, our Patron, Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj announced that the Institute will now be providing 100% free education to all students for courses directly run and co-ordinated by KMM.
