Message from the Founder
Education for Just, Effective and Open Society
Catholic Church is the largest provider of higher education in the world. In these institutions we accept anyone regardless of religious affiliation, caste, color, nationality or civil status. “That all may have life and have it in abundance”. (St John 10/10) In these biblical lines no one is excluded from receiving the life in abundance which is the ultimate aim of education. The vision of our higher education is explained clearly by the ‘Office of Education and Culture’, Catholic Bishop’s Conference of India integrating from the guidelines and reflections of the Congregation for Catholic Education, published in October 2002. “Education is to teach the students to live, to discover the deeper meaning of life and of transcendence to learn, to interact with others, love creation, think freely and critically, find fulfillment in work, plan their future, or in one word to learn to be’. It is in and through education that one can hope for a more human and a humane future and a more harmonious society” (“Consecrated persons and their mission in schools’82- 84).
