From the Principal’s desk…
Hearty welcome to St. Francis College for Women, an institution committed to fostering
academic excellence, personal growth and innovation! No wonder that St. Francis is the only
institution in the state of Telangana to be ranked among the top 100 colleges of the country
according to National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF), Ministry of Education,
Government of India. The College has also been accredited by NAAC four times.
Truly, it is an honour and privilege for me to lead this premier institution as the 8th Principal.
The institution flourishes on the strong foundation laid by my predecessors, the hard work of all
of my colleagues and the students. As much as I’m proud of our achievements, I’m equally
excited to see the opportunities that are ahead of us.
In the last 65 years of its existence, the college has become a trend setter in academic innovations
and has achieved excellence in many areas. The college just doesn’t believe in resting on past
laurels, but continues to strive to make improvements and innovations.
At St. Francis, we believe in the transformative power of education. Our dedicated faculty
members are not only experts in their fields but also passionate mentors who are devoted to
nurturing the intellectual and personal development of each student. We offer a diverse range of
programs designed to challenge, inspire, and prepare our students for successful careers and
meaningful lives.
Our state-of-the-art facilities, cutting-edge research initiatives, and strong partnerships with
industry leaders ensure that our students receive a well-rounded education in line with the vision
of our college, “Holistic Education for the Empowerment of Women” We are committed to
creating an inclusive and supportive environment where every student can thrive and reach their
full potential. The numerous student clubs help the students to look beyond classroom for
gaining knowledge and expertise in their respective subjects. The MOU’s we have signed with
reputed Universities abroad have enabled our students and staff to participate in staff and student
exchange programmes.
Beyond academics, St. Francis offers a rich array of extracurricular activities, from sports and
arts to community service and leadership opportunities. We encourage our students to explore
their interests, develop new skills, and make lasting friendships. These experiences not only
enhance their education but also prepare them to be active, Patriotic citizens of India.
As we look to the future, we remain steadfast in our mission to provide a transformative
educational experience that empowers our students to excel and lead. I invite you to explore our
website to learn more about our programs, achievements, and the exciting initiatives we are
undertaking.
Thank you for being a part of the Francis community. Together, let us continue to build a legacy
of excellence and innovation.
