Mahila Mahavidyalaya

The institution adopted its own emblem with the motto, 'Asato Maa Sadgamaya, Tamaso Maa Jyotirgamaya' representing its aims and objectives significantly and adequately. 'Asato Maa Sadgamaya' highlights an attempt through education to eradicate ignorance, superstitions, and illiteracy by spreading the light of knowledge among the people of disadvantaged sections of South Kanpur. The emblem comprises of the rising sun which enlightens the mind and brings life, vitality to all those who have been deprived of it so far. The rising sun conveys that the college shall tender education that will lead people from darkness to light, from ignorance to knowledge and from the unknown to the known to achieve its objectives. The motto suits well the 'emblem' and both together underline the high and noble principles with which the college shall attempt to work in the field of education.
