St. Xavier's College

History beckons, St. Xavier’s College is a hundred and sixty one years young. St. Xavier’s is a metaphor for commitment, care and service, and this momentous hour of the history of our college makes us, the Xaverians articulate our pledge for posterity, our ‘vision’ of the ‘mission’ of St. Xavier’s College, our ambition and aspiration for future.

As enunciated in its Mission Statement, St. Xavier’s has, during the days of its journey welcomed those of all beliefs and traditions, and has respected and valued ‘the diversity which their membership brings to the College Community.’ Accommodation of such diversity has always been the abiding attribute of any Jesuit enterprise. Founded under the auspices of a particular religious denomination, we, today, find ourselves completely secular in character.

The Central Research Facility (CRF) forms an integral part of research activities in the physical sciences and biosciences programmes of the college. It is being upgraded every year in terms of procurement of new advanced level instruments and computational facilities and the total assets now amount to more than Rs.2.0 cr. The centre now plans to extend its infrastructure to other Colleges and Institutions.
