INTRODUCTION

St. Teresa‟s college Ernakulum, Kerala, committed to the cause of Higher Learning of

Women and their empowerment was founded by the Educational Agency of

Carmelite Sisters of St. Teresa, following the footsteps of its farsighted, visionary

leader and Foundress, Mother Teresa of St. Rose of Lima in the year 1925. Accredited

by the NAAC at the Five Star Level in1999 and Reaccredited with A level in 2006,

the college has the privilege and the unique honour of “College with Potential for

Excellence” status bestowed by the U.G.C in 2010.

Today the Institution has cross - border and trans-border educational imperatives such

as tie-ups with London Metropolitan University, U.K, Deakin University, Australia

and East China Normal University, in Collaborative Research and Educational

Programmes.

The Faculty makes optimum use of the Information and Communication Technology

[ICT] and the College has made a conscious effort to invest in the hardware and train

the faculty suitably in a high level advancement in documentation and data

processing.

Vision and Mission

VISION

St. Teresa‟s College, Ernakulam, envisions a life oriented education that empowers

the students through a humanizing and liberating process, to be agents of

transformation and developments at different levels of life. Enabled and empowered,

they respond proactively to the concerns and conflicts inherent in today‟s reality,

especially those of women and persons who are unable to exercise their freedom to be

human, and work for the integrity of creation. The thrust is in the light of a

„civilization of love’ – the kingdom of God, as envisaged and promoted by the

Foundress, Mother Teresa of St. Rose of Lima.

MISSION

We prepare the students:

To promote a College/Community/Society/Nation where spiritual, moral, and

genuine human values are lived and witnessed to.

To contribute to the transformation of society through an openness to reality and

living the challenges of being socially conscious and socially responsible.

To synergize women and those prevented from exercising their right to be human,

through enlightening them regarding their basic human rights and helping them to

achieve the same.


To promote inter-cultural and inter-religious harmony and communion through

promoting genuine dialogue, whereby we work together for the common good of

the human family.

To facilitate leadership among the students enabling them to be genuinely other

centered, proactively enthusiastic, and spiritually and socially motivated towards

personal, group and social liberation.

To provide quality, integral education which is life, vocation and career oriented,

we promote a climate for human and academic excellence with openness to

learning, research and development of professional skills so that work towards the

empowerment of persons and transformation of the society will be fostered.

To work towards the integrity of creation through being conscious of and alert to

the state of devastation and destruction of creation and the serious perils the

humankind is plunged into, we promote programmes / movements that foster

inter-connectedness, kinship and eco-justice.

To recognize the advantage of using modern tools and technological innovations

for teaching-learning and governance and its visible impact and motivating factor

in empowering a large number of students, we promote programmes and

workshops that make the students acquire the necessary skills and practice, and

transferring it to others in the society.

20. Teaching and Non-teaching Ratio

The smooth running of an institution depends to a great extent on adequate human

resources.

In 2010-2011 the ratio of teaching to non-teaching staff members was 3:1

21. Improvements in Library Services

The plans made over the course of the previous academic years to bring about

improvements in the services offered in the Library and to make the library digital and

state-of-the-art was implemented during 2010-2011. In addition to the resources that

have been added in terms of books and journals, the Library refurbishment project has

resulted in a completely automated, digitally controlled library system which is fully

equipped to deal with the demands of the student and teaching body.

The library that encompasses three floors can now be accessed through a single door

entry system through RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) cards that automatically

scans and records individual IDs and allow entry. This new system allows for

centralization and easy management and supervision of resources.


The main Reception Counter situated at the entry level acts as Information, Issue and

Property Counter.

A comprehensive library management solution, in the form of the latest software

technologies, has been incorporated. This new system allows for the annual

stocktaking of books, items owned, orders made, acquisitions, cataloging circulation

and public interface for users.
