consider a remarkable achievement. We are, indeed, proud that Dr TC Pandya has been

awarded the best Teachers award initiated by Indian National Science Academy (INSA). Dr

Sanjeev Gupta was awarded the best researcher award for the year 2015 in the field of

Physics and Dr Mallika Sanyal for Chemistry by St Xavier’s College through a rigorous

In an effort to add value to education NET and UPSC preparation courses were organised by

the Department of Chemistry and talks were organised by the Department of Statistics.

Remedial classes were organised by several departments for academically weaker students.

This initiative not only helped to increase the interaction between students and teachers but

also helped in understanding the difficulties and challenges that our students face in coping

with academics as well as life. However, there is a need

to organise mentoring mechanism at department level in

an organised manner. Students are also guided to make

use of library facilities. We have seen a significant

improvement in the results in the second and third year

because of this approach. A separate room is made

available for group study by Campus Ministry and

special English classes were arranged for weaker

students.

Our Laboratory

expenditure:

Over 8 lakhs

have been

invested in 5

Science

programmes.

That works out

to be Rs 743 per

student per year

for the

laboratory

expenditure! A

large part of this

expenditure comes from management funding. Therefore, we urge all the faculty and students

not to waste chemicals and use them judiciously. We are sure that each student of this

College makes full use of this facility.

College is also in the process of developing two new laboratories near new SAH and a

research lab for Physics. We also plan to cover the present SAH with glass windows so that

you can have a clean and neat place to use in the coming months.

College has invested in procuring an ERP to assist the administration. We urge one and all to

make use of ERP to make administration smooth, fast and efficient. Our aspirations are high

as we have WiFi facility to move into moodle based education system in the coming

academic year. Two smart boards were also added to facilitate teaching learning, recently.

A number of dignitaries visited our campus,

this year: Fr Adolfo Nicolas - Superiors

General of Society of Jesus, Mr

Bhupendrasingh Chudasama - Hon Minister of

Education, Mr AJ Shah - Commissioner of

Higher Education, Dr MN Patel - Vice

Chancellor of GU, Dr Rajeev Malhotra –

Director of Jindal University, Dr Kinnari

Desai, and scientists such as Dr Dhiraj Bora –

Director of IPR, Dr Abhijit Sen, our alumnus and ex-director of IPR, and Dr Mukesh Ranjan

visited the campus. Students from Marquette University visited the campus to interact with

students of Vocational courses. A team of Spanish academicians visited the campus and

interacted with our faculty to work out staff and students exchange programmes.

Future Plans

We wish to set up centralised lab facility for research and developments, procure equipments

for basic research, and focus on publishing in journals with good impact factor, systematise

mentoring programmes for both staff and students. We wish to introduce Moodle based

education and implement ERP in Toto. We wish to move slowly towards online evaluation

system. We also are in the process of establishing a computer library with the generous

support from Mr Piyushbhai Desai. We also wish to initiate more courses and create an

environment for more students to take advantage of the Xavier education module. Over a

period we wish to set up a gymnasium for our students and renovate each classroom with

more comfortable furniture and visual aids. We also wish to renovate administrative office

with furniture and make it more students friendly. We wish to make the campus green, self

sustaining, and contributing to carbon neutrality.

All that we have achieved wouldn’t have been possible without the selfless commitment of

each one of you. Thank you for sharing the dream of this institute. Each of you can give a pat

on your shoulder for the commendable contribution made towards actualizing the dream of

Xavier’s to shine as one of the best educational institutions in India. Xavier’s belong to you;

and you make Xavier’s what it is today.

We write our plans with pencil and give God the pen. Let us thank the almighty for walking

with us and invoke his blessing for our future plans.

Jai Xavier’s
