History

The College was established in 1950.[2] They shared the premises of Manimala Girls' High School from their foundation until 1962 when they moved to their own building.[3] For that reason, it became known by local people as Manimala College, but Asansol Girls' College was always the official name. On Establishment Day, a procession goes from the College to Manimala Girls' High School to show respect for its origins.

Initially, the College was affiliated to the University of Calcutta. After Burdwan University started it became affiliated with that university.
