An area distinctive to the Vision of the College that has been provided a tremendous thrust and priority is Diversity Inclusion and Integration Program. The Vision of the College is to educate, enable and empower young women, emphasizing the need to mainstream the marginalized and weaker sections among them to ensure justice and equity in society. The Mission is to steer the education it offers not only to lead to the pragmatic goal of employability, but also to build a life of the mind and sensitize and orient its students to the service of the community, in the quest for a better life for society and the world that we inhabit.
The College is 100% barrier free and has ‘Under One Roof’ Enabling Unit and Equal Opportunity Cell. It follows a proactive financial aid policy and ‘Need Blind Admission Policy’, organizes courses in English and ICT skills for Economically Weaker Sections, and skill training courses for Persons with Disability.

This assistance was in addition to the support received by reserved category students from state and other agencies. The College also facilitated 89 students to obtain financial aid from other agencies, trusts and NGOS. The College has a financially sustainable Need-Blind admission policy that enables all students to enroll for its courses at the time of admission itself.
