"My Blessings to the students
and to the labouerrs whom I served to the best of my capacity"
Behan Satyawati (1907-1945).
The College takes its name after Behan
Satyawati, the illustrious freedom fighter of Delhi, remembered
for her dedication to various missions. Known for exceptional
courage and conviction, Satyawati worked in close association
with patriots like Jawaharlal Nehru, Jai Prakash Narayan, and
Sarojini Naidu. Lauding her special achievements, Mahatma Gandhi
is reported to have said, “She is a very brave girl... I have
named her Toofani... Her whole life has been as forceful as a
storm”. Her short life, chequered with prison terms, social and
political activism, is a source of inspiration to all who
believe in freedom as the essential condition for human dignity.
Established in 1973, the College is committed to provide
meaningful education which is relevant to the challenges of the
new millennium. In keeping with the objectives of a dynamic
institution, the college seeks to sensitive students, both boys
and girls to diverse schools of thought through courses in
humanities, social sciences and commerce. New courses imparting
vocational skills are offered by the College as and when they
are made available by the UGC.
Apart from academic pursuits, the college has an established
reputation in various sports. Our students have excelled in
events like Wrestling, Weight Lifting, Body Building and Judo at
Inter-University, National and International competitions.
Traditional games like Kabaddi are also encouraged to sustain
our indigenous heritage.
Ample opportunities are provided to students for cultivating
creative self-expression and discovering latent talent through
various extra-curricular activities. Our students have won
awards in Music, Dramatics and Debate at the University level,
and other activities. The college has an active NCC wing and its
cadets have won awards at state & national level.
