Baker College for Women
Baker College for Women, Kottayam was established in 2014 as part of the Bicentenary celebrations commemorating the arrival of CMS missionaries in Kerala. The college is a tribute to three generations of women educators of the Baker family. Amelia Dorothea Baker, wife of Rev. Henry Baker (Sr.), lit the lamp of Women's education in India when she educated six girls at her residence in 1820. Baker Institutions of the Diocese are visible testimonies of the concern and efforts of the Diocese towards empowerment of women through education.
Baker College for Women endeavours to live up to its motto "The Truth Will Make You Free", believing firmly that the emancipation of women from discriminations and social prejudices can be attained only through the medium of education. The college commits itself to encourage, equip and empower women through Higher Education.

College History
Education of the female child for the first time in Kerala and probably in India, was launched by Mrs. Dorothea Baker wife of Rev. Henry Baker (Sr.), one of the early missionaries of CMS. She took the first step in this direction by starting to teach, at her residence, the three R’s to a group of six girls in 1820. From this humble beginning came out the Baker School, which was shifted to its present site-The Baker Hill-a place at the heart of Kottayam town in 1865. This was further upgraded as a High School in 1900 and later as a Higher Secondary School.
The Baker College For Women is a giant step forward to offer higher education to women with the assurance to maintain the tradition, spirit and quality of ‘Baker Institutions’ and to create a new vibrancy in the area of higher education. The college offer her students a transformative educational experience by clinging on to the pioneer and inventive skills and drills to empower a heterogeneous society.
