It gives me immense pleasure to write regarding the College. The Islamia Faridiya college of Education (IFCOE) Kishtwar has successfully completed more than two decades of its service to the society in general and Chenab Valley Region in particular by producing Teacher professionals for the education sector imbued with updated subject knowledge, teaching skills, healthy and positive attitudes towards teaching profession and student clientele in general.
The college was established in 2001 and started its first batch with an intake capacity of 120 students in the year 2001-02 in spacious campus which had then accommodated even science classes of the Govt. Degree College Kishtwar for a couple of years when its own building (GDC, Kishtwar)was upcoming /under construction.
Initially the college inmates were predominantly were prominently non-locals hailing from adjoining states like Punjab, Himachal, Haryana, Rajasthan, Gujrat, Up, Bihar etc, from whom hostel facilities were hired in private hotels. But gradually the local candidates outnumbered the non-locals. For the last couple of years more than 95% students of the college are locals, mostly belonging to the Chenab Valley Region of Kishtwar, Doda and Ramban Districts.
The College has now its own Hostel for Girls candidates with a capacity of about 100 students, Outstation Boys prefer to stay outside in rented accommodation or with their Relatives.There is canteen service, cold drinking water, games facility, first aid medical facility, toilet, Library-cum reading room facility available for the benefit of the students. Besides the college has developed a Computer Lab, Psychological Lab, tecnology Lab , Science lab, Teaching Aids / Methods lab for the benefit of the students. Internet facility for about ten computers is also available for the students.

The college administration is run on participatory and democratic basis on a decentralized pattern of governance.
