Message            

Education is not merely the acquisition of textual knowledge, but a continuous ongoing process towards the attainment of an integral personality and culture. Education  that does not aim at inculcating such human values and enhancing humane qualities is no education at all. In the context of globalisation, an education with a wider global perspective is the need of the hour. The mission of Mar Ivanios College is to produce intellectually trained, morally upright, socially committed and spiritually inspired individuals who can face up to any modern challenges, but with a humane face. Great care is taken to instil these values in order to inspire them to lead a fuller human existence with dignity. Standing as we are today, honoured with the status of a “College with Potential for Excellence” by UGC, I wish that one day, in the near future, Mar Ivanios College will become a ‘Deemed to be University’ continuing her incessant quest for truth, radiating the light of true freedom.
