History

Baker College for Women, Kottayam, came into being in June 2014, when it's Management, the CSI Madhya Kerala Diocese applied for, and was sanctioned with a Women's College, to mark the Bicentenary of the arrival of CMS Missionaries in Kottayam and the beginning of Women's education in South India. Education thus, abolished slavery, that was prevalent in the early nineteenth century Kottayam. Education of six girls in the backyard of Rev. Henry Baker's (Sr.) Residence, evolved into the Ms. Baker Memorial Higher Secondary School and Baker College for Women, Kottayam. Like other Baker Institutions, Baker College for Women too, began it's journey in humble settings of the Women's Hall of CMS College. Although, our present society is focussed towards accelerating equality initiatives  with the aim of closing gender gaps and promoting women empowerment, there still exists a percentage of women, who prefer to study in a women's College. In view of the same, Inclusion along with Sustainability, continue to remain the core values of Baker College for Women.
