A National Institution For Women's Education
The Vidyapith has had virtual autonomy for its school programmes since the very beginning and was affiliated to an outside agency for its university programmes in 1983. In 1983 the Government of India, on the advice of the University Grants Commission, notified the Vidyapith as an Institution deemed to be University.
The Vidyapith, after attaining the university status in 1983, restructured its undergraduate programme. At the postgraduate level, the Vidyapith introduced courses in Computer Science, Operational Research, Electronics and Biotechnology. Teacher Education and Management have been started. New courses include M.Sc. (Bio-Informatics), M.Sc. (Pharmaceutical Chemistry) and M.Sc. (Applied Microbiology).
Along with professional programmes such as MBA and MCA, all postgraduate courses in the Faculty of Science have a semester system. From 2004 all Social Science, Humanities and Home Science Post-graduate programmes have been run as semester courses.

—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
