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.
