Abstract

[The chapter presents a brief summary of the study alongside discussing the central arguments. It begins by chronicling the course of women’s education in nineteenth-century Punjab. Then, it analytically showcases its chief contributions through various continuities and changes that have chartered the course of this institution. The Sikh Kanya Mahavidyalaya instilled notions of discipline and punishment among its students, and they adhered to the same to hold onto the image of ‘good student’. Pedagogy has implications for learning process of the students, whereby rote-memorization is focused upon. Religious socialization that happens in the school nurtures students to adopt religious identities. The complex interplay of all these aspects highlight how the Sikh Kanya Mahavidyalaya builds capacity among girls to gain empowerment and achieve their goals amidst all obstacles posed by social factors, as already discussed. Society creates situations for such schools to germinate and develop but societal contradictions in the long run gets reflected onto the schools.]
