Principal’s Message

Esteemed Scholars and Visitors,
It is with profound honour and heartfelt joy that I extend my most gracious welcome to all of you who seek enlightenment within the hallowed halls of this distinguished institution. Rooted in the noble tradition of the Society of Jesus, our college stands as a sanctuary of erudition, moral integrity, and an unwavering commitment to the service of humanity.

Within the walls of this institution, we aspire to impart an education
that transcends mere acquisition of facts and data, toward a holistic education of both the mind as well as the heart. Our learned faculty members are dedicated toward the intellectual and spiritual formation of our students, guiding them to cultivate both the mind and character. It is our firm conviction that true education should inculcate a profound sense of duty, responsibility and compassion towards one's fellow beings.
Our curriculum, precise but expansive, is complemented by a multitude of extracurricular pursuits designed to ensure that students are not only trained in theoretical principals but they may also acquire skills. Our verdant and serene campus, provides an ideal milieu for the flourishing of creativity, leadership, and camaraderie.
Humans are social animal, and being the best of God’s creation, he/she has to live up to his/her potential through service to the disempowered, marginalised and the downtrodden fellow humans and non-humans alike. Along with formal education the students are encouraged to participate in various outreach programmes and philanthropic endeavours so that they can embrace the mantle of social responsibility and apply their knowledge and skills for the service of the greater good. So, let us dive deep into this formless sea of knowledge, and as Alfred Lord Tennyson says, “To follow knowledge like a sinking star/ Beyond the utmost bound of human thought.” With the highest regard and blessings,

Dr. (Fr.) Ephrem Gerald Baa, S.J.

St. Xavier’s College, Simdega
