Bon Secours College for Women

About Institution

Bonsecours College for women was instituted by the Franciscan sisters of our Lady of Bonsecours, a Religious Congregation dedicated to uplift the downtrodden, especially women. It is very interesting to note that a tempest sowed the seed for the founding of the Congregation. This storm had served as a source of inspiration for Rev.Fr.Courdex S.J. to launch this noble venture in the year 1775 A.D. Then it took shape as a religious congregation in 1858 and was later re founded in the Arch-Diocese of Madras-Mylapore in 1894 with the lofty idea of imparting education to the native women.

Ever since its inception, it has been a beacon, guiding and promoting the educational interests of the poor and the downtrodden women."TO EMPOWER, TO CHANGE, TO LIVE " is the motto of the College. With the sole objective of Women's Education, the College invites women students, especially from backward and remote villages to empower themselves,to change and to live a life of commitement to the society.
