  • Fr. Principal's Message
    Fr. Principal’s Message I am very happy to meet you through this page. Loyola College has stood above the rest in its approach to education and in its pedagogies. The ways we teach and the ways our students learn are unique and creative. Consistently, we never hesitated to look into our deficiencies and transform us to an efficient agent of social change. Many critics would confirm that the College has substantially contributed to the process of National Development by providing quality education and thereby enabling the students to become globally competent. We have plans and dreams in the years to come. We propose to introduce Aademic Audit for every department by external experts. This aims at regular scrutiny of the quality of teaching and the content of teaching. This will certainly go a long way in enhancing quality in education in accordance with the objectives of the institution and in serving society at large with sensitivity and commitment. We envisage, in the coming years, an interdisciplinary research in science and social sciences. The college as an autonomous institution for 30 years has achieved many feats and climbed new heights. Award of the College with Potential for Excellence in 2004 and NAAC’s accreditation at A+ level in 2006 and were some of them. Sooner or later we hope to be honoured by the UGC as a Degree Awarding College. Education is not an act of acquiring knowledge but learning a skill to lead life and forming one’s personality. This is an ennobling process of growth. I can boldly say that we have excelled in every initiative that we undertook and we have stood together in facing the challenges in realizing quality education.
