Women ' s Christian College

Women's Christian College The mission was reinterpreted from time to time to suit the changing aspirations and needs of its wards, and of women in general.  While the mission is still couched in its original ideal of liberation of women for uninhibited total development, it is made comprehensive to include the objective of offering an education that can create generations of intellectually excellent, morally upright, spiritually inspired and professionally sound young women to illuminate their own homes and their home land.

Almost from the beginning the college has been collaborating with similar institutions in both India and abroad.  Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts, USA, has adopted WCC as its sister college and it sends gifts of both money and books.  As a gesture of gratitude the college has named one of its hostels after this patron.  The annual inter-year cultural festival is also called ‘Mount Holyoke’. 

As many alumnae take to the teaching profession, the teaching training college, St Christopher’s Training College for Women, was started with a former member of the faculty, Miss Nora Brockway as its first Principal and it later moved into its own campus at Vepery.
