Established in 2016, (DMC) is a community-based college that aims to blend Islamic Education with modern education for female Muslim students in West Bengal.
The initial vision was to create a pool of Muallima(teachers) for DMC’s Islamic learning centers, as girls above the age of nine, denied ‘Deen’ education. The inadequate supply of women teachers for ‘deen’ education led to the birth of the college.
Several mission schools run by the minority in the state have also shown a keen interest in ‘Tarbiyat’ for their students, and have shown keen interest in Muallima or Islamic Teachers.
The college started its journey in a makeshift campus with some day scholars. As demand for residential facilities has grown, we have arranged the residential facilities for the students- this has attracted more students from across the state.
Over time, the college has expanded in its scope. Beside preparing Muallima training, we aim to ensure the transition of Muslim girls from higher secondary to higher education, and equip them with a set of skills to acquire decent jobs, especially as teachers, in education and other respectable sectors.
About 200 students attend a diploma course comprising Islamic Studies and subjects like computer, management, nutrition, health, and child psychology.
