AN
APPEAL FROM FR. PRINCIPAL
St.
Xavier’s is a Jesuit institution with one history but many
stories, one fire with many sparks; It forms men and women for
others, men and women who display competence, commitment,
conscience and compassion.
One
of the ten best Colleges in India credited with autonomous
status and a College with Potential for Excellence (CPE) status,
it is where the mind is without fear and the head is held
high.
The work is of God and it shall excel – St. Xavier’s is
God’s will and it fosters sacred sentiments “Seemar Majhe
Ashim Tume”.
We celebrate a
legacy of 152-year and pledge to prosper with our motto,
‘Nihil Ultra (Nothing Beyond)’
We journey with dedication and determination to illuminate the
minds of many with enduring wisdom. It is a march towards new
directions of expansion, both academic and infrastructural. We
are thinking of SXC Vision 2025.
Our
plans are:
-
Two
hostels at AJC Bose Road campus:
- one for boys with 300 seats and the other for girls with
150 seats. The construction work is in progress. The demand
for hostels is increasing and we must provide adequate
residential facilities to our students.
-
St.
Xavier’s Guesthouse in Salt Lake is near
completion.
-
EM
By pass campus is being developed. The EMMRC, now housed at
Park Circus, will be soon moved to this second campus.
We
plan to make this campus a communication hub, with MCV,
Film Studies, Journalism, Multimedia and Animation courses. As
you see in the site plan, there will be hostel facilities. We
also plan to start a biological science research center.
-
The
Government of Paschimbanga has allotted 16 acres of land to
St. Xavier’s College. The College needs a huge amount of
fund for its expansion/development.
The
Hon’ble Chief Minister, Mamata Banerjee announced during the
fifth convocation on January 22, 2012 that she would be
delighted to see St. Xavier’s College as a University. “I
want to see St. Xavier’s on the top. To see Bengal in the
first position in education, we have to promote educational
hubs. A College like St. Xavier’s with quality education must
be upgraded.”
We
are pleased with her announcement and offer. Now we are
preparing ourselves for this new mission.
-
We
need your sustained support for SXC Vision 2025. Your
support will go a long way to form the future generation of
leaders for the country. It is my pleasure to invite you to
join in our endeavour to explore and create new horizons in
the field of education.
-

mater the destiny of the future, the home of us all.
