The Centenary

The Centenary Year found many old students on the staff : Fr. Parmananda Divarkar: Rector, Fr. Edward D' Cruz: Principal, Fr. John Misquitta: Vice-Principal, a few of the other Jesuit Fathers and many of the lay professors. On the occasion of the inauguration of the Centenary Year, the Rector emphasised the centenary programme of renewal. There was to be an internal reorganisation to exploit existing resources to the full in the interests of academic and administrative efficiency, ensuring quality education. The systematic exploration of ways and means to satisfy the demands of business and industry and of universities abroad, was a major goal. Finally, there was to be one major building project of the new hostel wing, to meet an urgent need and to symbolise the constructive nature of the centenary celebrations.
