It aims to promote Indian Classical Music in the city. It organises concerts, lecture demonstrations, and music appreciation courses. Jan-Fest, its annual Indian classical music festival, is very highly rated. In 1984, an air-conditioned library was set up with an enviable collection of LPs and tapes, including several thousand hours of recorded live performances.
This started more than 50 years ago. It caters to the altruistic sensibilities of students. Its activities include an exhibition on a socially relevant theme, an annual Rural Work Camp, Project Care (a two-day programme for children who are economically or differently challenged), visit homes for the disadvantaged, and similar activities.
Inspired by Gospel values, the AICUF, a national youth organisation, allows students to develop an all-round personality through leadership training, social outreach, spiritual integration, and cultural activities. Conscientised on burning issues like women empowerment and ecological imbalance, its members are geared to taking a stand to liberate marginalized groups and Mother Earth. The AICUF facilitates the College Choir and with the DIRS organises the Inter-Faith Prayer Services and Masses. Its national slogan is ‘We are born into an unjust society, and we are determined not to leave it as we have found it. True to the concept of ‘Catholic’ which means ‘Universal,’ the approach of the AICUF is inclusive. Fr Vivian Almeida SJ is the Faculty-in-Charge.
It is more than 100 years old and was registered in 1964. It caters to alumni/ae who would like fellowship and contact with their Alma Mater. The Association has seen illustrious ex-students involved in its activities. The XDP manages it.
It aims to connect with alumni for various alumni-centric events and keep Xavier’s family alive via the alumni website https://alumni.xaviers.edu, social media, and personal contact. It also looks to collect funds for the college: staff endowment, academic facility enhancement, heritage restoration, and infrastructure development.
