St. Francis College for Women, a Catholic Minority Institution, draws its inspiration from the teachings of Jesus Christ and embodies the spirit of the Sisters of Charity of St. Bartolomea Capitanio and St. Vincenza Gerosa. Rooted in faith and service, the College is committed to providing holistic education—nurturing not only intellectual growth, but also character and conscience. Its mission extends beyond academic excellence, emphasizing moral integrity, social responsibility, and the overall development of young women into compassionate leaders and responsible citizens.
Building on this legacy, the St. Francis Institute of Management Studies (SFIMS) was established in 2024 as a dedicated centre for empowering aspiring women leaders. SFIMS offers a transformative educational experience that integrates academic rigor with spiritual depth, preparing students to become ethical, compassionate, and forward-thinking business professionals. Guided by the teachings of Jesus Christ and the visionary leadership of the Management, SFIMS embodies the values imparted by its founders, Saints Bartolomea Capitanio and Vincenza Gerosa.
This enduring legacy of service and integrity fuels SFIMS’s mission to cultivate leaders with a profound sense of purpose and ethical commitment. At SFIMS, leadership is envisioned as a balance of knowledge and compassion—empowering students to lead with resilience, responsibility, and an unwavering dedication to positive change in their industries and communities.
