Even though most of the students themselves require others' sympathy and help, they are made sensitive to the concerns of the different sectors of society. Our students visit the various homes for the disabled, located at Nazareth every month. The homes they visit are:
Home for the mentally retarded children.
Home for the deaf.
Home for the aged.
Home for children, affected by AIDS, at Thailapuram. So our aim is not only to make our students better-skilled professionally but also to shape them into better human beings by instilling in them a sense of concern for the poor and the people in distress.
Through these programs, we make this institution relevant to the needs of the community. These programs include offering a scholarship to poor students of not only our institution but also other institutions.
Meeting the medical expenses of the poor people of this area, suffering from chronic diseases. Helping the aged poor in villages through a program that involves monthly visits and contributions by our students to the aged poor. A nearby village is chosen for this program and 100 aged poor people are benefited (100 X Rs.300). Amount spent every month Rs.30,000/-
Also through our students, we help a few aged diabetic patients by meeting their dialysis expenses every month. In the year 2005-2006, with the financial assistance from SAC an NGO in Bangalore, we offered free education including free food and accommodation, to 25 children from Tsunami affected areas incurring an expenditure of Rs.12,000/- per child. (Total 3 lakhs). All are well placed.
We write to various orphanages and homes informing them of the concessions we offer to their children in the fees structure. Also, we assure them placement after the completion of the course of study.
Providing education for school drop-outs, without age restriction. Every year 10-15 students, mostly school dropouts, are admitted in the non-formal courses – Nursing and medical lab technology. We issue them our certificates and get them employed. Some are aged more than 30.
As a result of the successful placement of students in jobs since our college's inception in 1999, we are able to attain our objective of empowering disadvantaged, underprivileged, and marginalized members of society.
Thus this institution is not only imparting knowledge to our students but also honing their skills and abilities, the capabilities which would convert them into very effective and useful citizens and enable them to contribute to society.
To enhance the employability of our rural poor youth by offering them skill-based education at an affordable cost. To promote human values on the campus by sensitizing our students to the needs of the poor and marginalized.
With the help of a philanthropist, Mr. Godfrey Draviam, Georgia, U.S.A we have established a separate computer lab on the ground floor for the use of the disabled children studying in our institution as well as in other educational institutions at Nazareth. We offer free computer training to them.
