One of the primary reasons that had led to the establishment of the Bhawanipur Education Society College (BESC) shortly after the Nation had wrested independence was to provide quality education to girls.

The BESC contingent had sported pink – symbol of girl power to create awareness and highlight the issues pertaining to women’s empowerment, their rights and contribution to the society. The thematic representation and the unique way in which the underlying issues were highlighted, communicated a strong message, apart from being an obvious eye-candy.
