St. Ann’s Towards Community

Institutional Social Responsibility and Extension activities


The STC (St. Ann’s Towards Community) Project was started in 2008 with the establishment of Carlo Club. The objectives is to inculcate in students a sense of social responsibility. We realize that the purpose of education is not just preparing the students to earn a livelihood but more so to make them good citizens and above all good human beings. The project aims at making the concept “Service to God is service to humanity” a reality, and it ensures that the students go out of the portals of St. Ann’s College every year and reach out to those less fortunate and less privileged in the neighbourhood and society. While academic excellence remains the prime focus of the college, it also endeavours to give prominence to eternal values such as compassion, generosity, empathy, and sensitivity.

The establishment other clubs like GO-Green Club, GEOP Club, was initiated in the year 2014 and  Health Club in the year 2018 with the objective of ensuring students responsibility towards Nature, technology illiterates, and health.

“What so ever you do to the least of the people you do it to God”. The above quotation was an inspiration to form a Social Service Club on November 15th 2008. It was named Carlo Club, after the Founder of the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Ann of Providence. The tiny step taken in the year 2008 is now entering into the eighth year of its journey. Though the journey was tough, we always felt that, great things happen when God mixes with us. To be more precise, the club was able to grow into a huge tree, that is, the total number of members increasing to 91 from 11. During this year we were able to raise Rs.63686/- and were able to reach out to: Forty families with mats and bed sheets Two orphanages and a Home for the Disabled stationary items and provisions and cash Rs. 7340/- for their maintenance. On 16th Feb 2016, Mr. Solomon, who was unable to pay for the driving license, was given Rs. 3000/- .  We continue our journey with hope, trying to spread the light of hope and brighten the lives of many needy ones. We thank God for His guidance and all the members who were part of this club in a small or big way.
