The campus which is located in the central suburb of Matunga today hosts seven institutions with over 6000 female students. We offer every educational opportunity ranging from Junior colleges to undergraduate programs postgraduate programs and short-term certificate courses in Arts, Commerce, Home Science, Computer Applications, Management, Mass Media, Law and Nursing. Our vision statement is the “Empowerment of Women through Quality in Education” and it is our objective to ensure that female students who would have otherwise been denied the opportunity for education are given the chance to pursue their dreams. 

Our institutions focus on innovative teaching to encourage learning processes and interaction with the community at large.
