about the college
Mahila Mahavidyalaya was founded in 1989 as an exclusive institution for girls, with a primary mission to provide higher education opportunities to women, especially those residing in the rural areas of Beed District. Situated in Beed, a district afflicted by severe droughts and economic challenges, it ranks among the poorest districts in Maharashtra, falling in the bottom 10 in 2019-2022. It also bears the unfortunate distinction of having the lowest sex ratio in the state and holds the 143rd position in literacy levels across India according to IndianNgos.com research. Additionally, Beed is notorious for its alarmingly high rates of hysterectomies, prevalent sex determination practices, female foeticide, and educational deficits.
Despite numerous obstacles, the college has made remarkable progress in terms of student enrolment, program diversity, infrastructure development, and local recognition. This success can be attributed to thorough planning, efficient resource management, the unwavering dedication of faculty and staff, and a highly responsive management team. Today, the college stands as a symbol of higher education, meeting the educational aspirations of the rural population, particularly in Georai taluka.
Aligned with the institution's commitment to shaping the young women of today for a brighter future, students are educated on vital cross-cutting issues and constitutional responsibilities, both within the curriculum and through sensitization programs.
The college offers a range of academic programs, including one undergraduate (UG) program and eight doctoral programs. With eight research guides, 15 faculty members holding PhD degrees, and 15 research scholars actively pursuing their PhDs, the institution is dedicated to fostering academic excellence and research opportunities.
