Joda Womens College, Joda was established in 1987.

Its managed by Mr. Jitu Patnaik, an eminent industrialist, successful politician and a visionary. Like minded members of the Governing Body made every effort to raise funds for the construction of its first building.

Tata Steel and Joda Municipality eagerly came forward to take up the first construction of the college which is situated in the heart of Joda on the banks of river “Sona” amid lush green setting.

The College started functioning with the opening of +2 Arts stream with 128 seats affiliated to CHSE Orissa and soon proved to be a blessing for the girl students mostly poor and downtrodden in this tribal and mining belt who earlier had to cover long distances to seek higher studies.

With good academic Results in CHSE Exams the college subsequently opened its +3 Arts wing from the year 1991 with 64 seats, then affiliated to Utkal University and later on came under North Orissa University which was formed in 1998.

Since then, the college has grown from strength to strength against all odds marching ahead towards its cherished goal of becoming an ideal learning centre added with human values. A dedicated team of teaching and non-teaching staff are the most treasured asset of the college who have shown extraordinary zeal and commitment towards the all round growth of the students.

A good student-teacher relationship is a unique aspect found in the college campus. The College has been included under Section 2(f) and 12(B) of the U.G.C. Since 2008.

During the session 2009-10, the college with the initially released U.G.C. grant has successfully started Remedial Coaching Classes, Equal Opportunity Centre, U.G.C. Network Resource Centre and Career and Counseling Cell. With the pumping of adequate funds from the UGC in the coming years the college hopes to progress on their path of better value based quality education at a much faster pace.
