Provincial's Musings

Higher Education in the province has reached another milestone. The Ministry of Education, Government of India, on the advice of the UGC has declared St Aloysius College (Autonomous) as an Institution Deemed to be University in the name of St Aloysius University, Mangaluru. It has been a long struggle to achieve this status and we need to congratulate the MJES, the Rector, the Principal and the staff of SAC for their persistence, patience and persuasion. While improving their NAAC and NIRF rankings they kept on knocking at the doors of the UGC and the Ministry of Education and finally succeeded in appropriating this status.
