The Lady Hardinge Medical College, a pioneer in the field of Medical Education has the unique distinction of being the only Medical College in India, for exclusively training women undergraduate students. The college was founded by Lady Hardinge of Penhurst, the wife of the then Viceroy of India, in order to overcome the orthodox trends prevailing the contemporary India, amongst the parents’ minds against educating their daughters in co-educational Colleges. She used her good offices to raise funds from the Princely States & the Public. This Institution was meant to commemorate the visit of Her Majesty Queen Mary to India in 1911-12. It was decided to name it as Queen Mary College & Hospital. The foundation stone was laid by Lady Hardinge on 17th March 1914. The Institution was formally opened by Lord Hardinge in February 1916. The college did a yeoman service in furthering of medical education for women in India.

In the year 1953, the Board of Administration constituted by the Central Govt. took formal charge of the management of the institution. In February 1978, the management was taken over by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare under an Act of Parliament.
