The skill based courses offered in all the three sections (Tamil, Hindi & French) aim at providing competence in language – oral & written and equip students to understand issues of national and international interest. 4 Department of History The institution has a clearly defined mission that is appropriate to higher education as well as its own specific educational role. The mission statement serves as the foundation for institutional operations, programs, and activities. Statements of the goals and program objectives specify how the institution will fulfill its mission. A clearly defined mission statement, appropriate to biblical higher education, developed and periodically reviewed by broad representation from all sectors of the institution A mission statement that guides faculty, staff in making decisions related to planning, resource allocation, program development, and educational outcomes. In accordance with the Mission Statement of the College, the Department offers a course on Gender Studies. Women and Gender Studies examines the importance of gender and feminisms in relation to issues such as race, class, sexuality, labor, colonialism, multiculturalism, and globalization. Students study how bodies, families, communities, and nations are gendered in specific cultural and historical locations; and investigate connections to their own lives, roles, and contributions. The expertise of the department lies in interdisciplinary, multicultural, and transnational studies of inequality. Students are taught to draw from a range of theoretical and methodological approaches in their study of women and gender. The department provides analysis and debate of exciting work by feminists who confront and transform various institutions and arenas, including academia, politics, law, sexuality, advocacy, pedagogy, non-profit groups, global non-governmental organizations, communities, labor struggles, and cultural productions. The goals of the department include the development of conceptual, analytic, and critical thinking skills in relation to gender and feminism in a transnational framework; the ability to integrate academic studies in women and gender studies into personal and professional goals ; the development of skills to formulate and implement theoretically-informed political, cultural, and community action; the ability to analyze gender from an interdisciplinary perspective, using a range of methodological tools; an historical understanding of gender in relation to structural inequality, social movements, and labor struggles; and the ability to critically examine representation and cultural production through a feminist lens. The department also offers a paper on Human Rights to sensitize the students to the various issues relating to Human Rights. Over the last decade, support for international human rights and democratization has grown steadily as an area of international development co-operation, and since the mid-1980s, there has been a shift in policy orientation from principle commitment to actual support for human rights 5 programs and projects. Comparatively large resources have been used on supporting human rights and democracy interventions (projects and programs) by governmental, inter-governmental and non-governmental institutions and organisations. At the international level, the interest among human rights organisations at local and national levels is matched by international organisations to learn more about the effects of joint (or ‚partnership‛) activities, requiring the construction of analytical models and tool for impact assessment.

(*an ancient African word meaning 'humanity to others'.

And in our willingness to give that which we seek, we keep the abundance of the universe circulating in our lives.” I believe it is true for Vidya Sagar and its stakeholders. Vidya Sagar gives of its expertise and enables children with disabilities to meet life with dignity in their unique ways. When they grow up they hone Vidya Sagar’s and community’s expertise with first hand perspectives of disability!! They have inspired and further enabled us.

    Editorial his academic year (2013-2014, is a red-letter day in the history of our 89 year old college. The rare distinction of “College of TExcellence” has been conferred on Loyola College by the UGC in April 2014. It has to be noted that only eight colleges out of 16000 in India have been singled out for the award of this particular honour. This is the high-water mark of our intellectual mission spanning nearly nine decades. All the pages of this annual magazine is an eloquent testimony to the hard work and dedication of our visionary principal, administrators, academics and supporting staff of our great college. The emphasis on the three core values of discipline, punctuality and diligence has radically transformed the work culture in the campus. We are an oasis of academic excellence in a vast desert of mediocrity surrounding us. Our robust work ethic, the continued effort to improve our educational effectiveness through a relevant curriculum and the Ignatian Spirituality within the larger Christian framework inspires service with intense commitment to the greater glory of God. These are the distinctive marks of Jesuit Higher education. The Editor and his competent team have spared no efforts to ensure that navigating through this vast chunk of text is a pleasant exercise for the reader. We request every Loyolite to spare some time to browse through these pages and become convinced that our professional distinction rests on solid achievements. Dr D. Joseph Chandra Editor Editorial Board Prof. Suresh Paul Design Advisor Prof. Francis Xavier D. Technical Expert Prof. Vedamuthu Member Prof.
