Jaffna Hindu Ladies' College (abbreviated as JHLC) is a provincial school in Jaffna, Sri Lanka.^[2]^[3]

History

In 1935 the Jaffna Hindu College started admitting girls.^[4] On 10 September 1943 the Board of Management of Jaffna Hindu College and Affiliated Schools established a separate girls school - Jaffna Hindu Ladies College.^[4] This was the first girls "Hindu" school. JHLC was initially located at "Ponnalayam", the home of Sivagurunathar Ponnusamy.^[4] JHLC's growth necessitated larger premises and on 27 February 1944 JHLC moved to buildings at Jaffna Hindu College's playgrounds.^[4]

In 1941 Visaladchy Ammal Sivagurunathar, the founder of JHLC, donated land at "Naduththoddam", Arasady Road to the college.^[4] The founders husband Ramalingam Sivagurunathar and his niece Mrs. Valliammal Sivaguru also donated land to JHLC, including the Rajavarothaya Pillaiyar Temple.^[4] On 7 September 1945 JHLC moved to the Arasady Road site.^[4] In 1978 a new school, Jaffna Hindu Ladies' Primary School, catering for grades 1 to 5 was established next to JHLC.^[4]
