ABOUT THE COLLEGE

Dr. MGR Janaki College of Arts and Science for Women has been
founded in fond memory of the Late Chief Ministers, Dr. MGR and his
beloved wife Mrs. Janaki Ramachandran. The objective of the college is

technological trends and the increasing demands of the job market.

AFFILIATION
All courses offered by the college are affiliated to the prestigious
University of Madras and approved by the Government of Tamil Nadu.

MOTTO
“Excellence through Diligence” – The motto of the college reflects
the principle that both Dr. MGR and Mrs. Janaki Ramachandran
believed in. We create an atmosphere in which students can work
diligently; in such an atmosphere “Excellence” is not an effort – it just
blossoms.

VISION
To fashion competent, cultured, confident young women
endowed with noble values that make them a shining star in the family
and society.

MISSION
 To financially empower women by freeing them from economic
dependence. Towards achieving this end, the institution has
embarked on various job-oriented courses that are in demand in
the employment market.
 To motivate women to look beyond academic qualifications and
develop core competencies and attain self-actualization. The
knowledge components, the skill sets and attitudinal frameworks
are so designed that help women in achieving this.
 To achieve inclusive education. As part of this goal as well as
reflecting Bharat Ratna Dr. MGR’s concern for the hearing
impaired and physically challenged, the institution integrates as
many of such students as possible in the mainstream.
 To build a gender-neutral society by infusing in students a sense
of equality, purpose, accountability, responsibility and personal
strength to meet the challenges with stoic courage.
 To help students become leaders of tall standing, serving and
building the society. By setting rigorous academic standards and
giving students the support they need to meet those standards,
the institution enables them to unlock their potentials and
4
 discover their own capabilities which provide them with the
required confidence to lead.
 To develop well-rounded personalities through innovative and
robust curricula. Learning to learn is the focus of the institution
and not merely training for any specific vocation. Learning at the
institution is an experience in itself.
