Intellectual Formation
As leaders of the nation and the church, it is our effort to nurture in them a Vision of life based on the gospel of Jesus, the core beliefs and genuine traditions of all religious faiths as embodied in our Indian Constitutions. Attaining a graduate or postgraduate degree along with the study of both Indian and Western Philosophies and Religions, basics of psychological insights to grow in human qualities as envisaged above and the basics of socio-political and economic analysis are part of our effort. Our students follow a three-year philosophy course in philosophy integrated with a parallel BA syllabus from IGNOU.
Affiliation to JnanaDeepa Institute of Philosophy
A major milestone was achieved on 10 November 2025, when our institute was officially recognised as the VishwaJyoti Institute of Philosophy, an Ecclesiastical Institute of Higher Studies affiliated to the Pontifical Athenaeum – JnanaDeepa, Pune, by the Dicastery for Culture and Education.
This historic achievement was solemnly celebrated on 23 February 2026 with the Canonical Erection of the Institute. The gracious presence of Archbishop RaphyManjaly, Rev. Dr.Nishant, Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy, JnanaDeepa, along with many major superiors, priests, religious, students and friends, made the celebration both memorable and deeply encouraging.
