Jesus & Mary College

This Institution is run by the Sisters of Jesus & Mary Congregation which originated in France in 1818. It was founded by a noble lady St. Claudine Thevenet. Claudine was moved by the atrocities and miseries of her time and she was convinced that only knowledge and love of God could transform the society of her time. Her aim was to make God known and loved through Christian education of the young, especially the poor. The Congregation has spread far and wide into all continents. In 1842, the sisters came to India. Jesus and Mary College was established in 1968.

The College began with the vision of educating young women to help them bring about development in themselves, their homes, and in their society. We are committed to give our students a sense of God and to recognise the divine in themselves, our fellow beings and thus respect the dignity and uniqueness of each individual. Our endeavour has been to offer an integrated, all round education, that is intellectual, cultural, social, physical, aesthetic, moral, spiritual, making every student a compassionate committed human being.

JMC welcomes students of all religions;We live & work, pray, play and grow together as a college community. We know that it is possible to work together for common goals and we are enriched by such an experience. Let us make a pledge to live in peace, to promote humanity and brotherhood/sisterhood, to follow the golden rule, "Do unto others what you would have done unto you." (Bible) 

Let us strive to work for change in society and thus translate our vision into reality.
