From Secretary’s Desk…

I am very happy to know that the Loyola College

Magazine will be brought out showing all the activities of

the academic year 2018-19. It‟s a joy know that Sports

day, parent teachers meet, Seminars, Conferences, Guest

Lectures, Metalitz (Interdepartmental cultural

Competitions), Gloria (Interdenominational Carol

Competitions) and women‟s day celebration have been conducted efficiently in the College and

contributed to the holistic development of the students. Some of the Departments have participated in the

intercollegiate competitions conducted by other Colleges and got the prizes and certificates thus bringing

laurels to our College. The First Graduation Day was a splendid event. The Science Exhibition for nearby

School Students and the Environment Awareness Programme for the Government School Teacher were

well organized in collaboration with the Tamilnadu Science and Technology. Many School students and

Teachers benefitted a lot from these programmes. In short, the 2018-19 academic year was a successful

and fulfilling year. I congratulate the Staff and Students for their achievements. May God continue to

bless our College! Let the light of Loyola shine not only in our area but also in our State.

From Principal’s Desk…

I am extremely happy and profoundly privileged to

organising different academic programmes, magazines, competitions etc.

I know that LCM does not believe in imparting knowledge merely as “information” but

Indian tradition and modernity, the value-based education which impetus on sound character

Vice Principal’s Message…

Loyola College - Mettala, one of two hundred

plus colleges and universities worldwide, in the

Jesuit tradition of academic excellence and

service to others, educates the whole person:

caring for the mind, body and spirit of each

student. With a primary focus on giving students

the best Jesuit education, we infuse Jesuit

principles into both the curriculum and the lives

of students.

The heart of a Jesuit education lies in learning to discern God's will in our lives, and applying

that knowledge to all we are and do (Jesuits‟ first Universal Apostolic Preference). We provide

opportunities for on-going development of their imagination, conscience and intellect, and

encourage and help them recognize new experiences as opportunities for further growth. We

want them to see service to others as more self-fulfilling than just success or prosperity. It means

in short, that a good life is an other-directed life.

In educational terms, the goal of a Jesuit education is the education of men and women for

others, men and women who are agents for change. We‟re forming leaders for a more just world.

This is what sets Loyola apart from other institutions- a degree with a difference! Annual

magazine of ours will speak volumes of our efforts in the wholesome formation of students.

God bless our collective efforts!

Rev.Fr.Sebastin Thangadurai SJ

Vice Principal & Hostel Director.

Our Chief Guest today, Thiru. U. Sagayam whose office door bears a sign reading "Reject

bribes, hold your head high" (in Tamil, Lanjam Thavirtthu, Nenjam Nimirtthu). This motto of

him has repeatedly antagonized influential politicians and their supporters in Tamil Nadu. His

effort to eliminate corruption has deliberatively pushed him to be transferred for 25 times in the

first 27 years of his career. His humanistic perspective has also won him a reputation among the

people; in the words of a Daily News and Analysis correspondent, "The common man's collector

has become the hero of the local folklore. "In the past, at the time of assembly election 2013, all

collectors were transferred except Mr. U. Sahayam I.A.S. and V. Palani Kumar, I.A.S. that

shows his authenticity and integrity. He wins the hearts of many men and women by his simple

life style. He goes out of his way to help people whenever we approach him. Thereby his notions

created many people to adhere him for many inspiring speeches at various occasions for the

youth. Though many colleges wanted him to visit their institutions, it‟s our most honourable

moment to have amongst these heavy calls. A special note to be mentioned, to all quite know

extra-curricular activities of this year.

“In Jesuit education, particular care is given to the development of the imaginative, the

affective and the creative dimensions of each student in all courses of study. These dimensions

enrich learning and prevent it from being merely intellectual.”

(Jesuit General Council doc.)

HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE

Oilpatty Post, Mettala Nammakal District. “Creating Men and Women For the Others” has been

the motto of the Jesuits and The Jesuits, try to achieve this through education which empowers

the powerless. Loyola College of Arts & Science was established in 2015 by the Jesuits, as

envisioned by the Bishop of Salem Rev. Dr.Singaroyan, who proposed to start a catholic college

to make higher education available for the weaker and underprivileged sections of the society.

The former Provincial of the Jesuit Madurai Province, Fr. Guna S.J., and a band of dedicated

Jesuits namely (The Land Committee Members) Fr. Selvanayagam S.J., Convenor, Fr. M.

Arulanandam S.J., Fr. A. Joseph S.J, Fr. Maria Joseph S.J, Br. Kulandairaj S.J., located and

Mettala as the ideal place for opening a Catholic College. Rev. Dr. A. Joseph S.J with the help of

Rev. Fr. Sebasti L. Raj, S.J., the former Provincial and the Mission Superior started the work and

the foundation stone was laid on 23rd

November 2014. Within a short span of time the college

building was put up. After the strenuous efforts of the Jesuits, Loyola-Mettala received its “No

Objection Certificate” (NOC) from the Government of Tamil Nadu on 27th

July 2015. The

former Vice-chancellor was kind enough to exhibit the provisional affiliation to the college on

LOYOLA HOSTELS

It is a belief that education should make individuals feel responsible for their society and be

committed in making this world a better place for everyone especially the poor and the

oppressed. For this, we, in hostels, earnestly continue to strive and mould students as creative,

confident, competent and compassionate individuals. As part of its ongoing mission, Loyola

College, Mettala started Women‟s hostel and Men‟s Hostel in the college premises in June 2016

and June 2017 respectively.

Vision

To create tomorrow‟s leaders who transform and empower the society by letting their light shine.

Mission

To give holistic formation to the students in a nurturing, dynamic and multicultural

environment.

To make them realize their maximum potentials.

To prepare the students to be morally upright, socially concerned and physically fit

citizens who would stand apart to be true Loyolites.

There are seven main ideals pertaining toLoyola Hostels: They are Education, Spirituality,

Social identity and Social commitment, Culture, Sports, Edutainment and Discipline.

Loyola College Hostel does not keep students idle but forms them into other-centered human

beings transforming education into virtues. The basic traits of the hostel are to promote education

and facility to all, to encourage all students to greater knowledge, to make students give love and

care to others, to respect cultural identity of different parts of India, to develop a better

understanding of themselves as well as their fellow men and women. It is really a home away

from home for everybody.

Administration: Rev. Fr. Thangadurai SJ, the Director, Men‟s Hostel and Rev.Sr.Anto, the

Director, Women‟s hostel play the pivotal role in forming young men and women for others in

the hostel. The Administration team consists of Rev.Sr.Deena, Prof. M. Joseph, Prof. R. Manoj

and Prof. David and Prof. V. Sabarinathan.
