St Francis College for Women

St. Francis College for Women is a Catholic minority institution which is located in Begumpet, Hyderabad, Telangana, India.

It was founded by the Sisters of Charity of St. Bartolomea Capitanio and St. Vincenza Gerosa in 1959 for the education of women.

The college derives its inspiration from the teachings of Jesus Christ, who is its "norm, protector, and guide".

An American Corner Library was set up at the college by the Consulate General of the United States, Hyderabad in 2013 [4] to provide access to materials and conversations on aspects of life and culture in the United States and nurture an Indo-US partnership.
