From classes in a bus and makeshift rooms in the Chotanagpur Club in 1947, Loyola now makes excellent facilities available to its students in impressive buildings.

Loyola’s aim is to educate men and women for others, to mould mature persons who are proud to be Indians, individuals who care for the poor and the marginalised, people who put SERVICE before SELF. Along with human excellence, Loyola also aims at academic excellence. Hence a balance of academics as well as co-curricular activities, is emphasized.

My association with Loyola dates back to the year 1974 when I was appointed Prefect of the Boys’ Hostel. Then I had a year of enriching experience as Vice-Principal (1984-85). As Principal from July 1992, I have been shouldering the responsibilities of taking Loyola ever forward on the path of progress and achievement.

I would like to remember and thank God for all the past Teachers, Co-workers, Principals and Jesuits who have worked tirelessly to make Loyola what it is today. I feel privileged and humble that God has given me an opportunity to serve Loyola. I hope to leave to posterity my love-filled service to this great institution.

God bless you, Loyola, and everyone who is serving to keep your flag forever fluttering!

Loyola, I LOVE you. May you continue to prosper with God’s blessings in the years to come.
