challenged by inhuman poverty, massive illiteracy, environmental degradation, gender discrimination, various forms of child abuse, corruption, displacement of the poor, consumerism, fundamentalism and eroding moral values, our mission, as compassionate leaders, is to form young women and men of character, who will distinguish themselves by their academic and professional excellence, sound spiritual and moral values, with a holistic growth in their intellectual, emotional, physical, aesthetic abilities, spirit of selfless service, and leadership qualities.

Thus they will commit themselves to the transformation of the present day social conditions and contribute towards building a just and eco-friendly human society where genuine freedom, equality of opportunities and respect for religions, moral and social values found in the Gospels and enshrined in the Constitutions of India will prevail.

Our mission further involves a special preference for Christians, the marginalised groups such as Dalits, tribals, women and differently-abled.
