[edit] Motto

"Excellence through Diligence" - The motto of the college reflects the principle that both Dr. M.G. Ramachandran and Mrs. Janaki Ramachandran believed in. We create an atmosphere in which students can work diligently - in such an atmosphere "Excellence" is not an effort - it just blossoms.

The mission of this college is:

To meet the educational needs of women, to make them sensitive to the various issues that confront them in society and equip them to handle them with maturity.

The college believes that economic independence is essential to empower women. The college believes that applied knowledge and acquiring skills is essential, hence it offers job oriented courses that are in demand in the job market.

The college believes that education is much more than providing a degree. It provides the students with ample opportunity to actualize themselves and to develop their talents.

Reflecting Dr.MGR's concern for the hearing impaired and physically handicapped, this college aims at integrating as many such students as possible into the college.

Dr.MGR Janaki College embraces its responsibility to address issues of gender in all of their complexity and urgency, and to help students achieve the personal strength that will enable them to meet the challenges they will encounter throughout their lives.

The Dr.MGR-Janaki College thrives on high expectations. By setting rigorous academic standards and giving students the support they need to meet those standards, this college enables them to discover their own capabilities. Learning in this unique environment, the students of Dr.MGR-Janaki College become agile, resilient, responsible, and creative, prepared to lead and serve their society.Education at Dr.MGR-Janaki College prepares students for an unpredictable future, not by training them for particular careers but by teaching them how to learn. Our object, is not to teach that which is peculiar to any one of the professions, but to lay the foundation which is common to them all. Without this, the whole apparatus of libraries, and instruments, and specimens, and lectures, and teachers, will be insufficient to secure distinguished excellence.
