In 2009, the province added another chapter to its Higher Education initiatives with the establishment of St. Xavier’s college at Digha Ghat with the mission of forming well-motivated leaders who will be intellectually competent, morally upright, socially committed and spiritually inspired to transform the world into a place of Universal brotherhood-sisterhood. Later in 2012 St. Xavier’s college of Management and Technology was started in the same campus.
