ICSSR SPONSORED NATIONAL CONFERENCE(11 Jan 2025) on Entrepreneurship Skills and Mindset among the Youth Studying in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) (Hybrid)
Known as a college with a difference, Loyola College of Social Sciences (Autonomous) was established at Thiruvananthapuram by Jesuits, a global missionary network committed to excellence in education with social justice. Loyola secured A++ grade in the 4th cycle of NAAC accreditation
Whether you are part of our Loyola community, or in the process of joining us, it is my pleasant privilege to welcome you to one of the most dynamic and humane places of learning and research in the country. Founded in 1963, we have evolved as a premium institute of Social Sciences in India, affiliated to the University of Kerala. Loyola provides an exceptional learning environment that fosters individual and social development, oriented to the service of people of Kerala and of humanity at large. Loyola College is consistently ranked among the top 10 Social Work colleges in India. We encourage engaged learning and research, so that, you can realize your full potential.
As a beacon of education, Loyola constantly strives to achieve its vision of ‘fostering excellence in thinking, commitment, and engagement for holistic transformation.’ The College follows the educational paradigm of Engaged Competence Enhancement (ECE) for grooming globally competent, socially sensitive, ecologically responsive, ethically rooted thought leaders and agents of change. Learning together, based on the principle of Magis, makes loyolites excel in life through service.
Jesuit education imbues in the learner elements that transcend the limitations of money, faith and success to create leaders devoted to the betterment of society and the world… Loyola has lived up to this vision, blending education and praxis, learning and intervention
Our institutions should promote depth of thought and imagination since imagination, creativity and critical thinking are essential to Jesuit education.
Loyola, A temple of knowledge where personal care promotes excellence, Investing in Knowledge, we harvest in Service
Pope Francis
Education is “an act of hope”… we have the dire need for passion and creativity as added weapons against the spirit of the “mundane” that’s seeking to numb, distract or discourage our youth.
Loyola has integrated people from underprivileged communities as students to benefit from the high quality of academic excellence imparted here,... (but) what is even more significant is that they have gone outside the portals of the college to provide services - counselling, education, charitable activities to the communities around them. This engagement with the community is what marks Loyola out as an institution truly anchored in excellence.
I was the first Chairman of the Student Union of Loyola College…Today when I look back I can say that I learned discipline, rigour, thirst for knowledge and value-base for my political involvement here in Loyola.
