Rural Camp 2019 - MCOM || St Joseph's College - Bengaluru

In pursuance with the Jesuit Higher Education, the highest authority on Higher

Education in India, the University Grants Commission, has recognized the

relevance and importance of the purpose and practice of „Extension‟ as integral to

the process of learning. It expects universities and colleges, given their knowledge,

human resources and infrastructure, to become positive change-makers who would

empower the marginalized of society.

In view of implementing recommendations of the UGC on Extension service and

for promoting the vision of St. Joseph‟s Institutions of „forming women and men

for others,‟ the Outreach Program was made mandatory for our students from this

academic year 2016 - 17. We are happy to place on record that students‟

participation in this program has been very encouraging. The Majority of the

students have expressed that Outreach Program has helped them to understand the

challenges and the problems faced by the disadvantaged and vulnerable sections of

society and inculcated a sense of social responsibility in them to make meaningful

interventions aimed at building a just and equitable society.


The Post Graduate(MCOM) students were sent to Manvi, Raichur for the

Rural Exposure camps.we were sent

to villages to interact with common people. These visits have helped us to become aware of various forms of discrimination suffered by Lambanis,

Devadasis and dalits in the periphery of our society.
and apart from this they showed us the pure form of love, care etc.
