Jayaraj Annapackiam College was established in the year 1971 with the lofty aim of giving quality higher education to rural women and of uplifting their lives. This is the only women’s autonomous college in Theni District and it has been crossing one milestone after another, scaling ever greater heights. ‘Serve with Love’ is the Motto of our College. The constant endeavor, relentless efforts, steely determination, indefatigable spirit, unwavering vision, sustained commitment, missionary zeal, team work, selfless service and great personal sacrifice of the Sisters of St. Anne of Trichirappalli have put our College on the educational map of India.
As we continue to navigate the evolving landscape of higher education, I am honoured to serve as the Secretary of Jayaraj Annapackiam College for Women, an institution dedicated to empowering women through quality education. Our college has been a beacon of excellence in Theni District, fostering a culture of academic rigor, innovation, and community engagement.
At JAC, we are committed to providing a holistic educational experience that goes beyond mere academic achievement. Our mission is to nurture confident, compassionate, and capable women who are equipped to make meaningful contributions to society. We strive to create an environment that encourages intellectual curiosity, creativity, and ethical leadership.
Over the years, our institution has achieved numerous milestones, from academic excellence to innovative research projects. Our faculty and students have been recognized for their outstanding contributions in various fields, including computer science, where we have seen significant advancements in research and industry partnerships. Initiatives like the JAC Funded Research Projects have empowered both staff and students to explore new frontiers in science and technology.
As a women’s college, we recognize the transformative power of education in empowering women. We believe that educated women are the pillars of strong families and communities, driving positive change and development. Our programs are designed to equip students with the skills, knowledge, and values necessary to excel in their chosen careers and make a lasting impact in society.
As we move forward, we are committed to expanding our educational horizons, embracing technological advancements, and strengthening our community ties. We envision JAC as a hub of innovation and excellence, where students are prepared not just for the challenges of today but for the opportunities of tomorrow.
I extend my gratitude to our dedicated faculty, staff, students, and all stakeholders who contribute to the JAC family. Together, let us continue to build a brighter future for our students and for society at large.
