In order to create a sense of ‘social responsibility’ among students, the college has embarked on an innovative awareness programme called SAHAAYA to the Under Graduate students, thereby aims at fulfilling the mission of the college of ‘Preparing men and women for and with others’. This programme demonstrates the crux of Jesuit Education which follows the pedagogy of learning; Context- Experience-Reflection- Action-Evaluation.

Centre organizes various activities / programmes in eight communities and students through associations or as volunteers taking active part in these activities.

Rural Exposure Programme

St Aloysius College (Autonomous) is committed to form the Postgraduate students as “Men and women for and with others who are socially responsible” so that they become powerful force in the transformation of society.

Conclusion

A higher educational institution has to integrate itself with the society. St Aloysius has a very strong base in inculcating compassionate attitude among students. The extension activities through the Centre for Social Concern in the forms of Sahaaya and rural Immersion have helped the institution to reach out to the society. The community Radio and the value education sessions have further facilitated the social outreach programmes.
