About LDC

Lady Doak College, a premier Christian Institution and the first Women's College in Madurai, was the brainchild of Ms. Katie Wilcox, an American missionary with a vision and fervor for the empowerment of women. The College made its humble genesis in 1948, and within a short span of time, in 1978, it was commissioned to function as an autonomous college, being affiliated with Madurai Kamaraj University.

As an Ecumenical Christian College whose purpose is to impart quality education of Christian character to students of all creeds, this college strives to develop their intellectual powers, locate, identify and cultivate their interests and talents, and train them to be responsible and useful citizens. The college presently functions as a unit of the Katie Wilcox Education Association and stands distinguished as one of the pioneering autonomous colleges in India.
