Dear Students, Staff, Parents, Benefactors and Well Wishers,

A Christian Minority Higher Educational Institution, St. Xavier’s College at Asansol was started in 2015 by the Catholic Diocese of Asansol a Minority Religious Body and was affiliated to the University of Kazi Nazrul University, Asansol in 2015. While preference is shown to the educational and cultural needs of the Christian Minority community and the poor i.e. socially and financially marginalized, admission is open to all irrespective of caste, creed and nationality. With a long and rewarding history of achievement of the Christian Missionaries in education, This institution was created with the objective of providing 360 degree quality education which will enable students not only to thrive in academics but also motivate them towards character building, leadership, extra and co-curricular activities. 

Principled on the motto REACH THE UNRREACHED and with the vision to build a harmonious, just, all-inclussive and empowere society. St. Xavier’s College Asansol aims to form young men and women of competence, commitment, compassion and conscience. This is the ideology of our Education. This enables students to herald social change national and global. The College aims to inculcate the highest intellectual standards through rigorous academic commitment and discipline. Students are inspired to aspire to higher levels of academic achievement by mastering the subjects they have chosen to study. The College stands committed to make teaching and learning process, Student Centric; which makes the students think, analyze and work independently by inculcating original and creative thinking. Currently the College has permission to offer 8 UG programmes. As a recognition of our collective effort towards excellence, and also, for striving towards the motto of REACH THE UNRREACHED, different people have worked towards its development. 

Inclusive practices of the institution to impart holistic education are inherent in the system. The institution is completely secular in character. Students belong to every social class, community and linguistic group. They are trained to become men and women of competence, commitment, compassion and conscience. Equity and access in availability, special attention to the weaker sections and representation of women in all aspects ensure promotion of social justice. In order to support the holistic development of the students, College houses a number of Societies for enriching the students with various co-curricular activities like debate, drama, music, and dance and so on along with usual syllabus-oriented pedagogy.

The College understands the importance of a healthy mind and thus runs a full-fledged counselling cell with professional counsellors to look after the mental well-being of its staff student and other stakeholders.

Activities related to emotional health, sports and other such developments are also being encouraged.

Our commitment at St. Xavier’s College is to provide a conducive and intellectually challenging environment that will empower students to become innovative thinkers, creative problem solvers and inspired learners prepared to thrive in the 21st Century with a humane touch. High standards and expectations for each student in regard to academic performance, co-curricular participation, and responsible citizenship are the foundation of our teaching. It is with pride that we hold these high standards and ask each of our students to commit to maintain the extraordinary record of achievement and contribution that has been the legacy of Xaverians. We encourage all our students to develop high expectations about themselves, their work and their behaviour, which is an expression of our values of Personal Best, Integrity, Respect and Responsibility.

Our academic standards persistently improve, and the curriculum we offer is carefully designed to engage and enthuse, providing students with the necessary skills to prosper in an ever-changing world. The main emphasis is on teaching and learning with sufficient emphasis on research and consultancy. The College provides an environment and ambience of Learning and Teaching in Higher Education to support and promote research and innovative learning and teaching practices. 

I am privileged and very proud to serve and lead St. Xavier’s College, Asansol. It is my love for education that has driven me to work hard for a comprehensive and culturally receptive educational environment where every individual is given adequate support and enthusiasm to achieve his/her objective.

May God Bless Us All
