PRINCIPAL'S DESK

St. Xavier's College Mahuadanr primarily intends to nurture the latent potentials in students providing an

ideal platform to them to channelize their creative talents and lend expression to their thoughts and views

on various aspects in a serene manner.

India was established in the year 2011: It has completed 07 years and the 08th year is in progress. To date

four batches have passed out with flying colors.

I'm intensively grateful to the honorable Vice Chancellor and other officials of Nilamber Pitamber

University for extending their constant support to our college.

According to Tony Robbins: "Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into visible".

To bring forth this theme I am happy and pleased to release our college's first "NEWS BULLETIN" which

presents pithy highlights of major activities of the college which were held in 2017.

This year the college is working very hard for accrediting itself to NAAC (National Assessment and

Accreditation Council). The college has a clear "Vision-Mission", "Goals and Objectives" and to achieve

these goals, the administration of the college with the support of the staff is moving steadily forward. I am

grateful to the Teaching and Non-Teaching staff of the college for their hard work and dedication as the

entire staff of the college is working in unison to achieve these goals.

I congratulate the Staff, Students and the Publication Committee for helping to bring out this News

Bulletin. I hope everyone will find this News Bulletin exciting and interesting. We welcome suggestions and
