Sophia is one of the premier institutions of North India, under the banner of Mission Sisters of Ajmer (MSA).It was established in 1950, as part of the collaborative venture of the Mission Sisters of Ajmer , towards the spread of education for girls, a pioneering initiative towards their uplift and emancipation. It was the fruitful culmination of the long-cherished dream and vision of the Founding Apostolic Head, Sister Mary Matilda, from France, who under the able guidance of her visionary brother Rt. Rev. Fr. Fortunatus Caumont, O.F.M. Cap., brought to birth and bloom, a flowering plant in the desert state of the then Rajputana, now Rajasthan, which was destined to spread across the length and breadth of the country in years to come, with its Generalate at Ajmer.
