Loyola Extension Services (LES) is the Resource cum Outreach Centre of Loyola College of Social Sciences, Trivandrum. It was established in 1986 and registered under the Charitable Societies Registration Act in the same year. LES was started in alignment with the UGC guidelines that envisaged teaching, research and extension as the triple functions of the University system. The aims and objectives of LES are to integrate outreach and academics and avoid the pitfalls of academic isolation and detachment of the conventional university system.
