I am immensely pleased to share my greetings and best wishes to all of you through this Academic handbook. Loyola College meticulously implements the philosophy of Jesuit Higher Education by “Molding Competent, Committed, Creative and Compassionate Men and Women for Others”. This Autonomous institution has achieved many feats and climbed new heights. The award of the ‘College with Potential for Excellence’ in 2004 and NAAC’s accreditation at A+ level in 2006 are some of them.

Curriculum restructuring implemented in the first two phases in 2001 and in 2008 respectively have opened up great opportunities for students to receive multidisciplinary inputs in addition to their own chosen major and also provided them the facility to add credits by participating in co-curricular activities. Academic departments had to refocus their priorities. Some launched themselves more into research, some others diversified with new courses such as Masters in Food Chemistry, Media Arts and Master in Tamil Literature. Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) is currently implemented.

A Curriculum Restructuring Committee for the third phase of restructuring was appointed in 2011 to facilitate and to provide motivation to the academic departments in bringing meaningful changes in the wake of latest developments. The committee presented templates for Arts, Science and Commerce for Undergraduate and Postgraduate degree courses. The departments, on their part, invited parents, alumni, experts, resource persons from Industry and colleagues from neibhouring Institutions for valuable inputs. The implementation process was started in the College Academic Council held in April 2012 , in which all the departments presented department templates and the new syllabi for Undergraduate and Post graduate Courses which become effective from June, 2012 for the 1st year students enrolled .

The present Academic Hand book reflects the innovative practices found in the latest curriculum restructuring. The first two semester’s syllabi are presented in this book The syllabi for the remaining semester’s will soon be approved in the forthcoming Academic Council and the third phase of restructuring will be implemented in its entirety in this academic year .

I take this opportunity to appreciate and thank the Deans, Members of the Curriculum restructuring committee, Heads of Departments, Coordinators and all the faculty members for their stupendous endeavour in preparing and implementing the new curriculum effective from academic year 2012-13.

Let Your Light Shine

Rev. Dr. Boniface Jeyaraj S.J Principal About Loyola

Loyola College was founded by the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) in 1925, with the primary objective of providing University Education in a Christian atmosphere for deserving Students, especially those belonging to the Catholic Community. Although this College is meant primarily for Catholics, it admits other students irrespective of caste and creed.

Loyola College became autonomous in July 1978. The College, however, continues to be affiliated to the University of Madras and is autonomous, in the sense that it is free to frame its own course of studies and adopt innovative methods of teaching and evaluation. The University degrees will be conferred on the students passing the examinations conducted by the college.

UGC conferred the status of “College with potential for Excellence” on Loyola College since 2004 and 2010. NAAC Re-Accredited the college in 2006 and awarded A+ status. India Today magazine has ranked the Arts, Commerce and Science departments of Loyola College amongst the top 3 in India from 2006. Loyola College is also awarded “the Best Men’s College in the City on the Employability skills” by PR Syndicate.

The Re-Structuring of curriculum both for UG and PG courses has drawn great appreciation from the stakeholders, namely the Alumni, Parents, Industries and the general public. Foundation courses and the Outreach programs in Loyola make a difference in the lives of the students forming them socially conscious and responsible citizens of the country. Academic handbook 7

HIGHLIGHTS OF INNOVATIVE FEATURES COMMON TO ALL THE DEPARTMENTS UNDER THE CURRICULUM RESTRUCTURING EFFECTIVE FROM 2012

1. Self Study Paper : (SSP)

A student, during V semester of his Undergraduate programme OR A Postgraduate student during II Semester may take a Self study course in addition to all the prescribed courses for that semester. Such course may be from Part 1 Language, Part 2 English or from Part 3 Major including Allied required and Allied Optional. The objective is to promote independent study on a specified topic of interest for those who wish to exercise this option. The student will earn 2 credits on completion of this course.

Eligibility : The student should not have any arrears or absent in any paper during the previous four semesters. The department concerned may prescribe any prerequisite course which should have been completed by the student before taking the Self Study Course.

Course description : One of the professors in the department will be the guide & supervisor on a mutual arrangement by the student and the guide. A course description needs to be prepared and passed by the Board of studies of the department where the student wishes to work on the self study course.

Monitoring : In consultation with the Head of the department, the professor who is the guide for mechanisms the student has to outline the monitoring mechanism for this course. There will be no class room contact hour. However periodic meeting of the guide and the student outside class hours is expected.

Learning : Depending upon the nature of the topic and the broad area of study, the student methodology and the guide may agree on the learning methodology. There is no Semester examination for this course. The guide is expected to prescribe the evaluation method.

Registration details : The dean office is to be contacted at the end of IInd Semester for PG/ IV semester for UG to get registration details.

2. Life Skill Training for PG students in their 2nd Semester

‘World Health Organization (WHO) defines Life Skills as “abilities for adaptive and positive behavior that enable individuals to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of everyday life”. They represent the psycho-social skills that determine valued behaviour and include reflective skills such as problem-solving and critical thinking, to personal skills such as self-awareness, and to interpersonal skills. Practicing life skills leads to qualities such as self-esteem, sociability and tolerance, to action competencies to take action and generate change, and to capabilities to have the freedom to decide what to do and who to be. Life skills are thus distinctly different from physical or perceptual motor skills, such as practical or health skills, as well as from livelihood skills, such as crafts, money management and entrepreneurial skills. Health and livelihood education however, can be designed to be complementary to life skills education, and vice versa.

Expected learning outcomes include a combination of knowledge, values, attitudes and skills witha particular emphasis on those skills that related to critical thinking and problem solving, self management and communication and inter-personal skills.’ (Wikipedia) Academic handbook 19 HER - Human Excellence Resources

Human Excellence Resources is a framework that helps the students to identify and develop their skills and abilities to efficiently achieve their personal goals. Its primary focus is on learning and development of the student and it emphasizes developing individual potentials and skills.

The above mentioned framework will fit into the Jesuit Characteristic of  Critical Consciousness – ‘Why’  Creative Consciousness – ‘Why not’  Ecological consciousness – Home and Cosmos. Human Life, Animal Life, Plant Life, Natural Life and Environmental Life. Thus exposing students to the world of change, a desired change and an attitudinal change is inherited. Education for Peace and Sustainable Development also is included in the overall objective so that the PG students would learn to face the world of challenges. It helps the students to understand the following themes:

• Globalization and Social Justice • Cultural Diversity and its understanding • Peace and equity • Human Rights and Human Dignity • Sustainability & Inner Peace • Holistic development of oneself The above learning is embedded through: Value and Ethics, Lifestyle and behavior and Sustainable Development. Denoted as a series of organized process with a specific learning objective, it encapsulates,

 Overall development of the student for the purpose of improving performance.  Enhancement of student interpersonal relationships. It stabilizes the response of students with respect to personal, social and environmental changes, it is a combination of “Learning and Development” in a broad context of adequate resource and ensures the continual improvement and growth of the student.

Functions of HER

 Process of improving, molding and changing the skills, attitude and ability of an individual.  Process of integrating individual into a situation in a way that it encourages them to perform/deliver to the best of their ability.  Preparing the students to be aware of the social and environmental conditions around them. 20 Academic handbook

3. Summer Training Programme (STP)

Summer training for all the students pursuing Postgraduate degree is made mandatory. Students have to do this programme at the end of their 1st year. It is considered important because it is the best way to help them learn how to implement the concepts they have learned in the classes. Hands on experience will instill great confidence in them. The programme is also targeted to promote and strengthen Institution-Industry interaction.

Procedure : The Head of the department is expected to allot students to each member of the staff in the department by the month of February preceding the summer so that students can initiate contact with the institution where they plan to have summer training. It is the responsibility of the student to find a place for training. The staff member will act as a Project guide

Monitoring & : Each department will have its own norms to monitor and evaluate the training programme. Evaluating Howe ever, all the departments are expected to uniformly prescribe the marks for evaluating the project. It is recommended that 50 marks are kept for Institution/Industry evaluation, 40 marks for evaluating the training report (around 50pages) and 10 marks for viva.

Credits : The student will earn 1 credit and the details of summer training will be displayed in the Cumulative Grade Sheet

Duration : 20-25 working days

4. Inter-disciplinary Paper & team teaching

An interdisciplinary paper is offered by each department to its Post graduate students during the 3rd semester. It is mandatory. The interdisciplinary paper is considered uniquely different from a multidisciplinary approach that generally involves the teaching of topics from more than one discipline in parallel to each other, nor is it a cross disciplinary approach, where one discipline is crossed with the subject matter of another.

Interdisciplinary approach on the other hand helps the students go beyond these two techniques by allowing them to see different perspectives, and make the synthesizing of disciplines as the ultimate goal. This approach calls for team teaching.

Team teaching : Team teaching requires some degree of collaboration with regard to planning, content integration, teaching, and evaluation between the two departments. The paper is to be offered jointly by the Parent and by the department allied to the parent department. The total teaching hours of 6 per week is to be shared equally by the departments. The curriculum is prepared jointly by the two departments though it may be approved only in the Board of Studies of the Parent department.

Evaluation : Both Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA) and End semester examination are mandatory for completing this paper. Credits : The student will earn 5 credits for successfully completing this paper. Academic handbook 21

TESTING &EVALUATION

Evaluation is based on Continuous Assessment and Terminal Assessment with equal weightage of 50% each.  Continuous Assessment includes Organized Tests and other categories such as quiz, seminar, assignment, etc. On a day specified in the college calendar of every semester the statement of marks (C.A.) are to be verified and signed by the student in the presence of the course teacher. Any discrepancy in the entry is to be brought to the notice of the course teacher / HOD concerned immediately. Rectification of marks after this is strictly not permitted. Retest : Any request for retest is considered only with the recommendation of the individual teacher concerned and the Head of the Department. The request should reach the Vice-Principal during the C.A. Test-II. Only students who have more than 80% attendance are eligible for retest.  Terminal Assessment consists of Semester Examination. COE Office conducts the Semester Examinations. Courses having 5 contact hours have a 3 hour semester examination. The Elective (General), Foundation courses and Computer Literacy and Skill Based Courses will not have Semester Exams. They will be assessed on a continuous basis and at the end of the semester, these papers have end tests conducted by the respective departments.

Whenever a course involves a package, e.g. Theory & Practical, a student will be given the credits only when he passes the requirements of the whole package. Partial fulfillment will be kept in suspension until one completes the whole package.

In the Odd Semester (I, III, V), the papers of the Even Semester (II, IV, VI) are not offered.

Examinations:

Examinations are intelligently and carefully planned and executed. Purposeful planning is adopted to meet new requirements.

•  Semester assessment is in the form of a comprehensive examination for each course. •  A double valuation system is followed for both U.G, P.G. and M.Phil. •  There is no revaluation and re-totalling because of double valuation (Internal and External), and no re-totaling because of a comprehensive total check done by the Examination Section with the help of a team of professors for every student. •  Internal central valuation and external central valuation are conducted separately. •  If the difference in marks between I & II valuation is between 1 and 5 then the highest mark is considered as final mark. •  If the difference in mark between I & II valuation is between 6 and 15, then theaverage mark is taken as final mark. •  If the difference in mark between I & II valuation is above 15, then the paper issentfor III valuation. After the third valuation, the nearest two marks are considered forfinal marks. •  Results will be published within three weeks. •  Results are published on the website and statement of marks are distributed to the students during the parent-teachers’ meeting. •  Supplementary exams are held within three weeks from the publication of the results of the even semester for the outgoing students, if they have a maximum of three papers to complete the degree. •  Computerized Grade Cards are issued semester-wise and computerized Cumulative Grade Cards are given after successful completion with hologram and the latest photograph of the student. A unique security number is given for each student in the Cumulative grade card. •  Course completion certificates with classification are issued to the students who have completed the degree  Classification of successful candidates is based on Grade point average only. Academic handbook 25

For a Semester:

GRADE POINT AVERAGE [GPA] = Σi Ci Gi / Σi Ci

For the entire programme:

CUMULATIVE GRADE POINT AVERAGE [CGPA] = Σn Σi Cni Gni / Σn Σi Cni

A student has to satisfy the credit requirements in all the parts (Part – I to Part – V) and total number of credits required to be eligible for a degree.

The class obtained by a student is indicated in the Cumulative Grade Cards issued to the student on successful completion of the Degree.

Bridge Course

The Department of English ventured into a new way of commencing the English course by offering a Bridge Course in the first week of the academic year for all the students who have joined the first year of Loyola College. Any normal bridge course would be conducted for only those whose proficiency in English is considered weak. But Loyola’s Bridge course is a unique one because it offered the course for all the freshers.

Aims and Objectives

• To help the newcomers gain confidence in expressing their ideas in English language meaningfully and in a practical manner

• To help them achieve competence in basic four skills of listening speaking, reading, and writing (LSRW) in the prioritized order of SWLR

• To give them proficiency in basic areas of lexical, syntactic and grammatical component

The department got the help of the staff members from the foundation department and the respective subject teachers. Everyday two hours of Bridge course were conducted by the respective subject teachers. They were requested not to teach the respective subjects but to focus on English as content.

The whole course consisted of 50 units focusing on the purposes, setting role, communicative events, language functions, notion, rhetorical and discourse skills, varieties, grammatical content and lexical content, inculcated with the four basic skills (Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking) which would come under three levels of learning like Psychological Gym, Lexical and writing. The department also conducted conversation methodology and workshops by the teachers concerned.

The Bridge course facilitated an enjoyable language learning experience to students without creating the pressure of an exam. Departments ADVANCED ZOOLOGY AND BIOTECHNOLGY

The Department of Natural Sciences was started in the year 1948. A full-fledged Department of Zoology was started in the year 1957 offering B.Sc Zoology. In spite of being an undergraduate department it was recognized officially as a Center for Research by the university of Madras in 1965. In 1985 the department was upgraded into a postgraduate department and started offering M.Sc Zoology with emphasis on environmental biology. A postgraduate diploma course on Medical Lab Technology was introduced in the year 1988. The sequential M. Phil program in Zoology of the University of Madras for the experienced college teachers was conducted in the department and subsequently permission was granted for full time M.Phil course in 1988. In the year 2003, the department started M. Sc. in Medical Lab Technology and in the year 2004 the department started M. Sc in Biomedical Instrumentation Science. In the academic year 2005-06 the University of Madras granted affiliation for B. Sc Advanced Zoology and Biotechnology. This curriculum replaced B. Sc Zoology. It is the only department to offer three post graduate programmes.

Teaching of Chemistry in Loyola College, was initiated by Professor R. VIRARAGHAVA SARAMA in 1926, a year after the college came into existence. It began with 64 students who chose Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry as their optional subjects for the intermediate course. At first, laboratory accommodation was provided in the southern wing of the main building.

By far the most significant step in the growth of the department began with the arrival of REV. FR. LOURDU YEDDANAPALLI, S. J. in 1945. He joined the department early in 1946 and in the same year the Honours course in Chemistry was begun. It began with 8 students of whom 7 completed the course and wrote the university examination in 1949. The last set of Honours students took their examination in 1960. The same year the course was replaced by the present M.Sc. The following is a critical assessment of the Honours course as reviewed by Dr. N. S. GNANAPRAGASAM for the Loyola College Annual in 1960.

The curriculum has been suitably modified to meet the challenging needs of the Indian Society. A certain measure of flexibility has been built into the new system, which enables the students to make their own choice of subjects from a wide spectrum of courses. 36 Academic handbook

Dept of Outreach, Loyola College, Chennai

Loyola College, undertook an extension education in the academic year 200l - 2002. It was then known as Loyola Empowerment and Reach out Network (LEARN). From the year 2005, the college has promoted it as a separate Department, called Department of Outreach. All the second year undergraduate students and first year postgraduate students are required to attend this program to complete their degree.

Vision : To make the students socially responsible citizens who are sensitive to the needs of the disadvantaged sections.

Values : With love and concern for others, students should dedicate themselves to community service, thereby shaping themselves as men and women for others.

Mission : To create a society with committed youth to promote equality, Justice, education, health and environment for the less privileged.

Aim : It is to help the neighbouring communities to change themselves through programmes like literacy, health promotion, women empowerment, youth clubs and reduction of dropouts in schools. 68 Academic handbook

Objectives:

• To enable the students to learn their social responsibility through outreach.

• To provide an exposure to slums and create an ambience to reflect on the possible ways of development.

• To learn from the people’s living experience and try to create facilities that would empower them.

• To make our institutions and individuals to realize our duty towards serving the neighborhood communities.

The students of undergraduates spend 120 hours in the one of the assigned neighbouring slums communities over a period of one year. The students of shift 1 visit their respective areas in the afternoon and those from the shift 2 visit their areas in the morning twice a week. Students are divided into different teams of about 10 to 12 students each and they concentrate on children, women youth, elderly persons, and persons with disability. The teams are trained according to the theme they choose. They further study the situation and plan accordingly to carry out interventions in the neighbourhood slum areas they are assigned to.

The students of post graduates spend 120 hours to get the outreach credit, of which 60 hours in the villages to understand the raw rural reality by having rural camps for six days. This village exposure helps them to season their heart and impact their mind sets to do something in the future for the poor, marginalized and needy. The remaining 60 hours they spend in the slums by studying the urban reality, the life style of the slum dwellers, understand the felt needs of the people. The slum exposure gives knowledge to students to do social analysis and finally they do awareness programmes through street theatres, mime, chart presentation and songs about the particular issues and burning problems that they have learnt by the interaction with the slum dwellers.

Assessment : Students of UG and PG are assessed through Regular Attendance, Special programmes/activities conducted effectively in communities, schools and college, Innovativeness/creativity, team work, leadership qualities and assignments and reports.

Evaluation : Community Based Evaluation is done with community people, local leaders, ward councilors, women SHG members and youth members. Evaluation with the staffs-in charge from the respective departments and Evaluation with the Director, Asst. Director, and Outreach professors DEPARTMENT OF PHILOSOPHY

 DIGITAL LIBRARY

Internet E-Mail Services

The campus wide network installed at Loyola College is similar in installation and function to many university and college networks in the USA. The various facilities available on the campus wide network are: Local E-Mail Services

The internet server allows the staff and students in the campus to exchange messages with each other. This can be used to facilitate student-student and student-teacher communication that extend beyond the classroom and for communication among the staff of the college.

Loyola College has an official website www.loyola college.edu, for the purpose of providing college Internet access to all its staff and students. The server installed in the campus allows the users to log on to the local web e-mail gateway site and use web-based e-mail for sending and receiving messages. Staff and students can exchange e-mail with any other Internet e-mail user. Internet Web Services

The internet server comes with a web server that allows the college to publish documents online. Home pages have been created for departments to publish documents relevant to their field. e.g. the computer department internet home page at http://www.loyolacollege.edu/computer/ has details on this PORTAL 2001 conference. Departmental home pages are updated. They 106 Academic handbook

feature issues that would interest prospective students. In addition, information of interest is made available to the current students who can obtain information like course schedules, current assignments, events list, etc.

Mailing List Services

The mailing list services are useful in making announcements to a group of users on a particular topic, e.g. a mailing list has been created for the purpose of this conference wherein students and staff who have subscribed to the list were kept informed via regular updates on the status of the conference and the details of various presentations to be made. Similar mailing lists can be created to keep the users updated of upcoming events or important dates like exams. etc.

Discussion Forums

Discussion forums is a place wherein many users can come and participate in discussions on a particular topic. While the mailing list is a one way announcement service, the discussion forums are interactive and involve all the participants. The advantage of a discussion forum, is that all the users need not be connected to the forum at the same time in order to share their thoughts, e.g. a discussion. forum on “Restructuring” can be created on the Loyola College

internet server wherein staff and students can deliberate on the advantages and ways of implementing this new approach in the campus. Discussion forums can be used for any topic that requires two-way interaction. Brainstorming sessions between students and the teacher can be conducted in a systematic manner using discussion forums.

Online Chat

Online chat is probably one of the most often used functions of the network. Online chat allows the users to have real-time based conversations with others on the network. It is useful for conducting meetings with staff or students who are spread across the campus.

Internet Services

The services we have seen so far like mailing lists, discussion forums, chat etc are all services that are operated within the campus. In addition to this the intranet system also offers access to web sites on the Internet. Server Administration Services Finally, the administration services in the intranet server allow the network administrators to add new users, open out intranet web sites, add new functions to the network like new mailing lists or discussion forums, etc. There is also an in-built content blocking system installed on the server that allows the administrator to block access to unwanted Internet web sites. Academic handbook 107

 FORUM FOR LOYOLA WOMEN STUDENTS On several occasions the women have been drawn to discussion on what it feels to be a ‘woman’ in an institution like Loyola, which in perception still remains to be a male bastion in terms of strength. Clearly, the women students have enabled themselves to bring the “better” within themselves and take active part. The college has a Dean to take care of the women students. A forum has been established in the year 1998 and was christened in the year 2006 as Flows (Forum for Loyola Women Students).

A woman coordinator is elected among women students in which they promote the symposiums, work- shops and seminars at various levels like cancer in women, women reproductive health, women rights etc. which allow them to provide rational solutions and act towards the goals. They also promote deliberations over the various issues related to the plight of the underprivileged and the oppressed women. They also voice the rights of women. A newsletter for women “Women’s Voice” was brought in to facilitate the women students to ventilate their feelings and also to bring out their hidden talents.

Women are given equal opportunity, and have been successful by imparting the values of discipline and life in the way ahead after Loyola, as they emerge to excel in all spheres of life. Women students are also motivated and oriented to understand that they are more privileged than any body else through their visit to Banyan, Cancer Institute and other such Insti- tutions.

 FAEA - LOYOLA Foundation for Academic Excellence and Access (FAEA) is a Delhi based NGO, with funding support from Ford Foundation, India.

Besides the scholarship through its pathways programmes, it offers a wide- range of training programmes for staff and students of our college.

 INTERNAL QUALITY ASSURANCE CELL (IQAC) The National assessment and Accreditation Council advocated the establishment of Internal Quality assurance Cell (IQAC) by all the accredited institutions as a post accreditation quality sustenance activity.

Objective

The primary aim of the IQAC is to develop a system for conscious, consistent and catalytic action to improve the academic and administrative performance of the institution. 108 Academic handbook

Benefits

IQAC will facilitate / contribute:

 To a heightened level of clarity and focus in institutional functioning towards quality enhancement and facilitate internalization of the quality culture

 To the enhancement and integration among the the institution and various activities of the institution and institutionalize many good practices.

 To provide a sound basis for decision-making to improve institutional functioning.  To act as a change agent in the institution.  To better inter communication.

The Functions of the IQAC

Some of the functions expected of the IQAC are:

 Development and application of quality benchmarks/parameters in various activities of the institution.  Dissemination of information on quality aspects.  Organization of discussions, workshops, seminars and promotion of quality circles.  Recording and monitoring quality measures of the institution.  Acting as a nodal agency of the institution for quality-related activities.  Preparation of the Annual Quality Assurance Report and such other reports as may be decided from time to time. The coordinator of the IQAC and the secretary have a major role in implementing these functions. The IQAC may derive major support from the already existing units and mechanisms that contribute to the functions listed above. The operational features and functions discussed so far are broad based to facili tate institutions towards academic excellence and institutions may adapt them to their specific needs.

Role of IQAC - Challenaes and Strateaic Initiatives

 Role of IQAC is difficult - Standard setting is difficult and the teaching community is afraid of setting standards (Quality benchmarks)  Often the role of the IQAC is seen as the body which prepares for accreditation or for re- accreditation. It is not seen as on ongoing standard setting/testing body  It is also viewed as a documentation centre and a data-base centre  It’s work is seen in isolation and not holistically Academic handbook 109

Strategic Initiatives:

 Quality Circle members to act as feed-back system to the crucial component of the IQAC namely (teaching, learning and evaluation)  Subjecting ourselves to external scrutiny - an academic audit  Public/open forum to give students to express their views on various aspects of their academic life  Evaluations: of different types like an exit evaluation teacher’s evaluation, peer evaluation, course evaluation etc.  On-going training for the staff on testing and evaluation methods, teaching methods, counseling techniques, research methodology, personality development  Annual conferences on themes which will bring all the staff together

Challenges:

Multi-entry system, examination reforms, degree awarding colleges and its implication.

 LANGUAGE LABORATORY

All the students of the under graduate program in addition to learning English and another Language of their choice, are expected learn a new language under “Other Languages”. The college offers a large number of Oriental languages like Tamil, Hindi, Sanskrit, Malayalam, Telugu, and foreign languages like French, German, Japanese, Spanish and Italian.

In spite of many Ianguages being offered, we do not have a Language Laboratory. Having a CD library, both audio and video, with dedicated audio-visual will definitely enhance the communication skills of the students. We also feel that having facilities like video recording and play back of role play and speeches by staff and by students, will help the students in picking up the right lip movement and mannerisms and help them build their level of self-confidence.

The language laboratory is housed in the ground floor of the School Media Studies and is widely used by the language departments.

INSTITUTES OF EXCELLENCE ENTOMOLOGY RESEARCH INSTITUTE (ERI)

The institute’s mission is to create a better world through research, publications and extension activities in the realm of environment, sustainable agriculture and human welfare by evolving alternate eco-friendly technologies and by training children and farmers to become agents of environmental protection and sustainable agriculture. Rev. Dr. S. IGNACIMUTHU, S.J. Director - Entomology Research Institute Loyola College, Chennai - 600 034, India IDCR

The basic philosophy upon which the institute is founded is that human life, particularly in a country like India, is multi-culturally and multi-religiously textured and lived. The conflict between different faiths and cultures in born out of lack of proper understanding of mutuality of human existence. Therefore, serious research and involvement at the grass root level is called for by which we can evolve processes of conflict resolution that foster respect and proper understanding of the dignity of difference in a multi-cultural society.

The institute actualises its philosophical foundation in four ways: research, involvement, training, and publications. A conflict, be it religious or cultural, is taken up for serious research that demands involvement in the lives of the people had participant observation of the conflictual situations. The data that is gathered from the fieldwork are analysed and interpreted in order to suggest ways and means by which we can promote conflict resolution. The findings are published as books, articles and documents that help replicate conflict resolution elsewhere. From the year 2004 the institute has been doing research on religion and violence in Coimbatore City in Tamil Nadu where there was a series of killings and bomb blasts between Muslims and Hindus in 1992. From February 2006 onwards the data gathered form the city will be analysed by experts and later main findings will be published. Rev. Dr. Vincent Sekar S.J.
