History

Sir Syed Government Girls College is considered as one of the most premier educational institutions for girls in Karachi. The college was founded by Syed Altaf Ali Barelvi^[1] in 1954 solely to provide higher education to girls. The college has been named as Sir Syed Girls College after the leader Sir Syed Ahmed Khan. The present building of the college was completed in 1963. In September 1972, the college was nationalised and since then named as Sir Syed Government Girls College.^[2] The death in a bus accident of its student Bushra Zaidi lead to ethnic rioting across Karachi and the rise of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM).
