Mrs. Helena Kaushik Women’s College (MHKWC) strives to prepare young women in India to achieve excellence in all their endeavors. We help them to be visionary and effective leaders in their chosen professions and vocations in the service of their communities, India, and the world. Our aim is to pursue Excellence, Truth, Service, and Virtue.

The goal of the College is to give women of this farming community an opportunity for their development, economic betterment of their families and simultaneous growth and development of the area through investment in education, infrastructure and industry.

The main academic building is 50,000 sq ft and supports classrooms, administrative offices, labs, center for music and contemporary arts, and a well-stocked library with more than 40,000 books from the United States and India. The campus also features a 150-bed residence hall for students and a guesthouse for visitors.  The college has extensive sports facilities including basketball, field hockey, soccer, Olympic-size 8 lane track, tennis courts, volleyball, rainwater harvesting, etc. New facilities, plantings and gardens are added each year.

Access to higher education is extremely limited in rural India, and due to economic and social factors and lack of facilities; opportunities are especially limited for women. An imbalanced sex ratio exists within schools with 18% of males earning a high school diploma compared with only 10% of females in rural India. When MHKWC was founded, there was no college within 40 miles of Malsisar. Therefore, MHKWC fulfills a great need for women’s higher education in this rural area.
