Dear Students, Staff, Parents, Alumni/ae, Benefactors, and Well- Wishers

Loyola College, a Catholic Minority Institution, was founded by the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) in 2005, with the primary objective of providing University Education in a Christian atmosphere for deserving students irrespective of caste and creed. It started functioning in July 2005 with just 65 students on the rolls in undergraduate courses. Loyola College affiliated to Sant Gahira Guru University, Sarguja, Ambikapur in July 2008.

It is with great enthusiasm that I address you regarding the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. This landmark policy ushers in a transformative era for education in India, emphasizing holistic and multidisciplinary learning, critical thinking, and the integration of technology in education. At Loyola College, Kunkuri, we are committed to embracing these changes to enhance our educational framework and ensure that our students are well-prepared for the challenges of the future.

The NEP 2020's focus on flexibility, creativity, and experiential learning aligns perfectly with our mission to foster intellectual curiosity and personal growth. We will be introducing new pedagogical approaches, incorporating vocational training, and promoting research and innovation to nurture well-rounded individuals.

I encourage all staff to engage with the new curriculum and teaching methodologies actively, and I urge our students to embrace these opportunities to explore their passions and potentials fully. Together, let us embark on this exciting journey of educational excellence and innovation.
