Inspired by the vision of empowering women through education, the Carmelite Sisters of St. Teresa sought to fill a lacuna in women’s education by establishing Mount Carmel College in the year 1948, with just 50 students on its rolls. Though a minority institution primarily for Catholic students, Mount Carmel College in the spirit of service has opened her doors to all castes and creeds, drawing her inspiration from the person and teaching of Jesus Christ, Universal master and model of education.
