The name Kinnaird comes from Lady Mary Kinnaird who belonged to a titled family of Scotland. During the British period in India, certain British philanthropic enterprises, run by educated and sometimes very wealthy women from UK, worked for the education of women in India. Education was also a significant agenda for the family of Lady Kinnaird, who was politically involved with India. Her husband and her son successively were Chairmen of the committee that spoke on Indian issues in the British parliament. The Kinnaird family raised financial support and even donated personal funds and thus the college evolved in 1913 from within Kinnaird High School which was already in existence.
