St Xavier College

EARN AND LEARN

St. Xavier College is situated in the heart of Jalukie Town under Peren District where economic activities are very less. Students come from different background and sometimes they find it very difficult to continue their education despite many other financial assistance schemes like post-matriculate scholarship by the state government and free-ship by the institution. This initiative was started to encourage the needy students by means of financial assistance and received a very positive and promising response.

Objectives of the practice :-

To motivate the students to overcome the financial constraints and in achieving their goal of higher education.

To recognize and facilitate the individual talent for the use of the development of the institution.

To encourage dignity of labour.

Practice

This new innovative practice started in the year 2019. The students were paid a sum of Rs. 50 per hour which includes cleaning the college campus, weeding the flower gardens, watering the plants, cleaning the classrooms, toilets, library and clerical works. Thus, the institution is assisting the students financially to fulfill their dreams. The motive behind the practice is to give financial assistance to the students while taking their services as a kind of recognition. This practice aims to promote the philosophy of “dignity of labour” regardless of whether one’s occupation involves physical work or mental labour. Till date many students have earned by their contribution to the college and successfully completed their graduation.

With this initiative to help the students, the impact is well ascertained. The students’ feedback shows that it is creating a lot of interests among them and is helping to expose their hidden prospective. So far many students have benefitted by extending their services in one or the other way for institutional needs.
