Project Information

Educating students using advanced technology enabling them to compete in the job market.

Describe the need affecting community

Prior to initiation of the masters programs several Christian students were unable to undertake post-graduate studies due to the intense competition in the Indian educational scenario we reserve 50% of admission for Christians. If available it will permit all qualified Christians to take admission in the following: a. Human Research Development. b. Infrastructural requirement. c. Scholarship & Christian research development. This enables us to prepare Post-Graduate Christian teachers for the various mission schools. In order to offer quality education to them, there is a need to create quality infrastructure. We have been able to purchase equipment for the newly established Bio-technology department and will be purchasing expensive unaffordable equipment for other programs which will enhance the quality of these departments & their output and acquire Post Graduate qualifications. As per the statistics, Christians are a community which has lowest employment rate among all and requires need for improvement. Therefore, the need for Professional Studies.

How will this Advance project help to address the need?

1. By offering post graduate programs of studies we hope to enable young Christian well educated women to be in leadership positions, and also fulfill the need for Christian faculty in the college. 2. Through educated motherhood we will hope in the time to come, give meaning and leadership to the next generation. 3. The college environment will sensitize them to be sensitive to the needs of the less privileged and the marginalized. 4. The masters program in nutrition and food science, enables the women to be able to reach out to the community, and teach other women about health and nutrition. A.
