The Kinnaird College for Women (KCW) is a university located in Lahore, Pakistan. It is a women's liberal arts university.[1][2]
Kinnaird was established in 1913 by the Zenana Bible and Medical Mission. In 1919, Presbyterian Mission Church and the Church Mission Society joined a consortium to fund and operate the college. In 1926, it moved to its current campus on the Jail Road, where it grew over the years. By 1939, the college had grown into a 20-acre (81,000 m2) campus.[3][4]
The college is named after Lady Mary Jane Kinnaird, co-founder of YWCA and a great philanthropist of her time. The now university was established at the start of the 20th century when it was housed near Kinnaird High School. In 2002, college was given the status of government Degree Awarding institution and its administration was handed over to Association of Kinnaird College.
