Our
History
Loreto
College, Southfield Darjeeling, was founded in August,
1961 at the request of the Government of West Bengal,
who wished to have a Women's College in the region. The
late Chief Minister, Dr B.C. Roy personally requested
the Loreto Society to open a college for the girls. The
college started with only twelve students and an old
building and in the course of time two buildings have
been added. It is situated in the heart of the town.
In 2003
, we were accredited by NAAC and received the grade B+
.A good grade indeed for a single faculty college of
less than 500 students.
