Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru has said: “If you educate a woman, you educate a whole family. Women empowered means Mother India empowered.” If women who contribute half of the population are empowered, India will be an empowered nation and sovereign country. Women have abundant potential which needs to be tapped. Education is a powerful tool which can be rightly used to bring out the hidden potential of women to strengthen the national economy.

Mother Teresa Women’s University, situated in the Majestic Princess of Hills, Kodaikanal, acts as a powerful catalyst in women empowerment through quality education. The university curriculum is enriched with Outcome-Based Education, Employability Skills, and Research Facilities.

The University’s curriculum is well-designed with the inputs of the various stakeholders and enriched with Outcome Based/Employability/Entrepreneurship/Soft Skill Courses which are relevant to meet the requirements of industry 4.0. Besides, the University is equipped with the State of Art Research facilities and provides a conducive ambiance for academic and research pursuits. MTWU has widespread its strong wings at Madurai, Chennai, and Coimbatore with its Research and Extension Centres for encompassing woman aspirants from all over the State. The University also enables the students, rural women and the destitute to shine as employers rather than being employees, through its Entrepreneurship Training Centre at Pallapatti, Dindigul. The University facilitates placements for the students through more than 70 placement drives and has signed more than 50 MoUs for Academic collaborations with national and international Institutions and Industries and is proud to have 15 patents.

Women must be proactive in the process of lifelong learning. That is true empowerment. I strongly believe that with passionate faculties and excellent administrative staff, our students will become nation builders and decision-makers for a “Vishwaguru” India.
