About JMDPL Mahila College, Madhubani

The very genesis of this college repicturises a good deal of episodes of the drama of events and adversities it faced during its pre-natal stage. The very nomenclature of this college, ie, JMDP L Mahila College, Madhubani, in short, and Jhumak Mahaseth Dr Dharmapriya Lal Mahila College, Madhubani, in full, speaks clearly that there are two distinguished personalities, in the main, who are the pivotal instruments in erecting this Pyramid-like institution dealing in female education in this region of backwardness, economically; but the area is so forward and enriching in matters of knowledge and wisdom. This is the land of King Janaka who was an earthly man, but the father of a divine daughter, named Maithili whose creation we all are! So, a strange co-incidence paradox is presented to us ‘Poverty among Plenty’. When this College was established in 1971 affiliated up to Intermediate level by the Government of Bihar, Patna. The girl students from far and wide thronged the college as if, thirsty people have found out an ‘Oasis’ in a desert. So, this college was an exclusive outlet for babies and teenagers girl students.

Although, there was already a premier college named RK College, Madhubani serving the students in the mode of co-education, this JMD PL Mahila College, played a very significant role in the dissemination of female education, though with limited resources. Because, no sanctioned posts of teaching and non-teaching cadres existed at that time. Still the Managers of the college aroused the lovers of learning to donate their invaluable services to the cause of letters and learning and the teachers and enlightened readers did respond to the requests of the Managing Committee. They spared their services without - charging any returns. Thus, a selfless spirit on the part of the teachers also helped the college grow successively.
