The blue outline is the indication that the sky is the limit.In the social scenario of 1920, there was a need to popularize the concept of educating young girls by empowering them with knowledge and quality education. With this vision in mind, a small but progressive school, Marwari Balika Vidyalaya was established at Burrabazar under the stewardship of Shri Ghanshyamdas Birla and Shri Jugal Kishore Birla along with a body of enlightened members of the Rajasthani community settled in Kolkata.Later the society was named “Shikshayatan Foundation” and today under the guidance of this body, four educational institutions find their presence:Shri Shikshayatan School shares a common campus with Shri Shikshayatan College. Both these institutions have earned acclaim over the years to emerge as premier educational institutions in Kolkata owing to the relentless efforts of Late Sitaram Seksaria and Late Bhagirathmal Kanoria – two of the esteemed trustees of the society.
