Second phase of the Expansion of the college happened in 2000 and 2013 when the Department of Personnel Management and  the Department of Counseling Psychology were added respectively.

By the time college completed the Silver jubilee celebrations of its establishment, it had become the champion of community outreach programmes in the state of Kerala. In1993, Govt. of India selected LES as the Field Training Institute (FTI) under the programme of Urban Basic Services for the Poor (UBSP).  Again in 1996, Government of India recognized LES as the Regional Resource Centre for the Prime Minister’s Integrated Urban Poverty Eradication Programme. In 1997, Loyola College was appointed Nodal Agency by Central Social Welfare Board, for monitoring and supervising the Family Counselling Centres in Kerala.

During the year 1986, Loyola created another historical milestone of launching Loyola Extension Services (LES), conceived as the social lab of the college, an idea, which was not much in circulation in the entire country at that time.  Same year, the Loyola Family Counselling Centre too was commissioned, which was another visionary reaction to the emerging socio-cultural space of the society around.

Loyola started to collaborate with several international universities like the University of Namur; Belgium, University of Nijmegen; Netherlands, and organisations like UNICEF. Loyola still pursue collaborations with outside universities and the latest in this line is the  collaboration between Loyola and the Erstra Skondal University in Sweden, under which every year we have faculty and student exchanges.

Government of India appoints Loyola College as the Technical Training and Orientation Centre for the National Service Scheme in Kerala for the first time in 1970. In 1964, Loyola College under the banner of Social Service League engaged in flood disaster relief in the low lying areas of Trivandrum. College organised the first social service camp and socio-economic survey at Harveypuram Colony in 1966. Thus the College pioneered and spearheaded the first National Service Scheme Rural Live-in Camp at Cheruvickal, Trivandrum  in1969. As a result, Loyola College was able to design and fashion training programmes for the NSS staff coordinators of various colleges. Loyola College was also instrumental in developing a unique and distinctive model of Live-in Experience camp for NSS volunteers.

Being a small community, the college became well-knitted and in the year 1967, just within a period of four years, the Alumni Association was founded, perhaps the first of its kind in the state.
