Mount Carmel College of Teacher Education , Kottayam, envisions a life-oriented education that empowers the teacher trainees through a humanizing and liberative process, to be agents of transformation and development at different levels of life, with a focus on the formative elements of their lives, as prospective educators and on their integral growth. Enabled and empowered, they respond pro-actively to concerns and conflicts inherent in today`s reality, especially those of women and persons who are unable to exercise their freedom to be human, and work for the integrity of creation. The thrust is in the light of a `civilization of love`- the kingdom of God, as envisaged and promoted by our Foundress, Mother Teresa of St. Rose of Lima.
