Inaugural of M.A, M.Com and M.Sc. Programmes at St. Xavier's.


The inaugural function of the Post Graduate Department for the Academic Year 
2009-2010 was held on 17th July, 2009, at the college hall with Samantha 
Fernandes, 
the compere of the day, welcoming the Chief Guest, Dr. S. R. Shetye, Director, 
NIO, 
Dr. (Fr.) Walter de Sa, the Principal, Mr. Hervin Furtado, the Vice-Principal 
and 
the faculty and the students of the M.A, M.Com and M.Sc programmes.

After invoking God's Blessings, through a prayer, conducted by Ms. Tina D'Cunha 
and 
Ms. Varsha Yallagi, the Chief Guest, the Principal, and Faculty-Student 
representatives participated in the traditional ritual of the lighting of the 
lamp.

Dr. (Fr.) Walter de Sa delivered the welcome address and observed that the 
educational system in India is undergoing a change of Creativity and Innovation 
with 
Mr. Kapil Sibal, Minister, HRD, initiating this change. Fr. de Sa, reiterated 
that 
the change is necessary at all levels of education, pand that good teaching and 
research are the fundamental elements of a good educational institute. He 
concluded 
by valuing the partnership of St. Xavier's College with NIO and hoped it would 
continue by collaborating with them on various fronts.

The Chief Guest, Dr. Shetye, who grew up in Mapusa, expressed his joy to 
participate 
in the inaugural function at Xaviers, as this visit reminded him of his 
childhood 
days when he used to come to St. Xavier's campus to play cricket. He stated 
that the 
Indian educational system is at the crossroads despite the impact of the Indian 
economy around the globe which was due to its students. He believed that in 
order to 
sustain growth in terms of quality, certain elements were required. He stressed 
that 
Innovation was one of them and that students who could formulate and answer 
questions were required. Further, he spoke about the Nano car, as a product of 
innovation and economic prosperity. He also endorsed the fact of research 
imbibed 
into teaching and felt it was necessary in starting Post Graduate Programmes. 
He 
assured that the weather station set up by NIO at Xavier's would be upgraded.

A skit titled We are the world was then enacted by the Part II students of 
M.A 
Psychology. Dr. Suhas Shetgovekar elucidated on the various programmes and 
activities undertaken by the Abbé Faria Post Graduate Department of Psychology. 
A 
song Heal the World was performed by the Part II students of M.Com. Ms. Jane 
Lobo 
provided a background of the M.Com department which was followed by a fusion 
dance 
by the Part II students of M.Sc. Dr. Tushar Anvekar acquainted the audience 
with the 
M.Sc in Physical Chemistry programmes. Ms. Flavia Travasso delivered the vote 
of 
thanks and the programme ended with the singing of the College anthem.

[St. Xavier's College - Mapusa - Goa - India - 403507 (TEL: 0832-2262356 WEBSITE: www.xavierscollege-goa.com)]

 Remembering Aquino Braganca (b. 6 April 1924), who fought for freedom
 of the former Portuguese colonies in Africa. An online tribute
 http://aquinobraganca.wordpress.com/ (includes many historical
 references, some photographs and documents)




Information .Formation.Transformation





A two day  Faculty Enrichment Programme (FEP) was held at St. Xavier's College, 
Mapusa, Goa on  19th and 20th  March,  2009.  The theme for the programme was 
EDUCATION TO PEACE AND COMMUNIAL HARMONY.  The Resource person was Dr. (Fr.) 
Jerry 
Rosario, S.J. from Chennai (T.N.).



Dr. Rosario has a doctorate in Political Theology and a degree in Civil Law.  
He is 
a socio-pastoral animator and an activist whose area of work is with the dalits 
in 
India.  He is a visiting professor in thirty-five institutions and has lectured 
in 
forty-three countries.  Dr. Rosario has authored fifty four books for 
undergraduate 
and university students.  He is the founder of JEPASA, DHANAM and MANITHAM.



'DO NOT LEAVE THE WORLD THE WAY YOU FOUND IT' - the AICUF motto, turned around 
Dr. 
Rosario's life into a 'Mission'.  With this stirring statement, Dr. Rosario 
introduced the concept of education.  He raised some thought provoking 
questions/statements on the true essence of education.  Education, he stressed, 
is 
an ongoing process that should challenge us to change and grow.  Often 'a 
moment of 
crisis is a moment of change'.  The better approach to education is to 
encourage 
questions.  In keeping with Socratic thinking, he said:  Answers can only 
inform.. 
Questions form.  Education should, therefore, provoke students to question, 
stir 
their imagination for a 'new future', generate awareness of the present, and an 
analysis of  the past through re-reading of the past historically and 
structurally. 
This awareness would then result in the animation of students, to develop a 
fresh 
outlook that would enthuse and empower them into action for a positive 
transformation of society.  These above components of the education process 
operate 
within the six societal systems i.e. social, political and economic systems 
which 
are the 'basic systems' and cultural, religious and ideological systems which 
are 
meaning systems.  Education then is 'Information' that leads to 'Formation' 
of 
self, and results in 'Transformation' of society for the better.



The group-sharing that followed focused on the introductory session on 
education and 
on the challenge for change that may have inspired the participants.  The 
feedback 
from participants affirmed that Dr. Rosario was an enthusiastic speaker, with a 
clear vision and deep convictions.  His insights were inspiring and enriching, 
examples very factual and down-to-earth, and all this was effectively 
communicated 
with much wit and humour in a style that was endearing to all.



The challenges that inspired the teachers included:  introducing value added 
teaching in the classroom situation, rewriting our scripts, treating each year 
as a 
new year, encouraging the spirit of enquiry in students, encouraging 
spiritualism 
rather than materialism, promoting responsible citizenship and sensitivity to 
the 
needs and rights of 'the other', becoming good role models for the students.   
In 
short, the faculty members agreed on the principle that 'we had to be the 
change we 
want to see in our students'.



Introducing the theme of peace and communal harmony, Dr. J. Rosario related the 
little known life story of the childhood of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar.  Through it, he 
highlighted the definitive role played by a teacher in shaping the destiny of 
the 
students.   Education needs to   look at holistic formation where religion and 
class 
should not matter.  Religion should help unite us in terms of our focus and 
help us 
achieve our goals.  We need to identify the needy, marginalized students and 
make 
their concerns an  important priority.  Institutions of education need to 
reconsider 
their elitist approach to academic excellence.



Dr. Rosario focused on the negative aspects of communal disharmony and 
peaceless 
societies where violence was the order of the day.  He stressed on the fact  
that 
these reactions always have a cause that needs to be questioned.  Using 
examples of 
Krishna and Jesus, he laid emphasis on the need to stand up for the Truth 
without 
seeking personal gain.



Every reaction follows a spiral of violence.  The spiral begins with 
'Suppression' 
and 'Oppression' as a result of the denial of human rights, communalism, 
malnutrition, etc.  This is followed by the stage of 'Demonstration' where a 
revolt 
takes place against suppression.  The next stages are 'Repression' and 
'Progression'. 
Progression heralds a new consciousness where change has brought about peace 
and 
harmony coupled

UNESCO Honourable Mention for the
Archiepiscopal Palace in Old Goa



UNESCO 2008 Asia-Pacific Heritage Awards have been announced and the 
Archiepiscopal Palace (between Se Cathedral and Church of St. Francis 
Assissi), Old Goa, has been selected for Honourable Mention for the 
Conservation efforts undertaken by the Archdiocese of Goa  Daman.


The UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Awards for Culture Heritage Conservation 
have been established to recognize the achievement of individuals and 
organizations within the private sector, and the public-private initiatives, 
in successfully restoring structures of heritage value in the region.


UNESCO announced six Honourable Mentions, three awards of Merit, three 
awards of Distinction and two awards of Excellence.


The Archiepiscopal Palace is the oldest Western Style Civil building in 
India, where formerly the Archbishops were residing, on the first floor. The 
ground floor was allotted to the subordinate staff and for storage.


The Archdiocese of Goa  Daman took the initiative and made available funds 
for the conservation of this building which has been described with vivid 
details by Pyrard de Laval in his Voyages, during the tenure of Archbishop 
Raul Gonsalves and the conservation works were completed during the tenure 
of Archbishop Filipe Neri Ferrao.


The scientific conservation of the building was undertaken under a committee 
appointed by the Archbishop with the  Financial Administrator of the 
Archdiocese Fr. Victor Rodrigues/Fr. Arlino de Melo as Chairperson, Prof. 
Newman Fernandes  as member secretary, Fr. Benjamin Fernandes/Canon Adolfo 
Viegas, Arch. Padamsee as members. Arch Vikas Dilawari who sent the proposal 
to UNESCO  was the Chief Conservation Architect, Eng. Sylvester de Souza was 
the engineer and Arch. Khetak Nachinolkar supervised the works locally.


This was a partnership exercise between the Archdiocese of Goa and Velha 
Goa.


UNESCO's mandate is to promote the stewardship of the world's  cultural 
resources, including the built heritage which constitutes our collective 
cultural memory, and the foundation upon which communities can construct 
their future. In Asia and the Pacific, UNESCO supports conservation 
activists at all levels, and particularly seeks to encourage the role of the 
private sector in preserving the region's cultural heritage.

[St. Xavier's College - Mapusa - Goa - India - 403507 (TEL: 0832-2262356 WEBSITE: www.xavierscollege-goa.com)]

XAVIER'S NEWS  FEATURES E-SERVICE (XNFES)

Our Goa University deserves The BEST
  -- 
Newman Fernandes



It was always the dream of a small state like Goa to have its own 
apex educational Centre, rather than to depend on a University from a 
neighbouring state. Goa University was established in Goa to serve 
primarily the interests of Goa and Goans and it has worked for their 
benefit. When I say Our Goa University deserves the best the 
underlying statement is that our students deserve the best.


When a lifetime opportunity is available to an individual or to an 
organization, everybody is happy since it provides a lifeline to move 
forward with determination in a highly competitive world. The word 
everybody is used in a broader sense, since there may be some who, 
out of jealousy, or due to an axe to grind, or petty politics, are 
disappointed and wish that such a lucky opportunity should not have 
been made available. This may be due to some unpleasant experience or 
misunderstanding.


Support for higher education

The announcement of the Central Government to support higher 
education in India with funds to an extent so far never made 
available, brought a smile on the faces of pro-education people. The 
Prime Minister during his recent short trip to Goa, labelled the  XI 
Plan as the Education Plan. It was indeed a shot in the arm! A large 
number of initiatives have been planned and some have already been 
executed, in favour of higher education. One of them was the 
establishment of Central Universities in those states where they had 
not been earlier instituted.


The main characteristics of a Central University include its 
establishment through an Act of Parliament, decision making bodies 
with wide representation, generous funding and greater autonomy. 
Central University is a university funded by the Centre. It is not a 
stereotype model to be replicated mechanically. Some Central 
Universities are residential others are not; some don't affiliate 
colleges, while others do; some came into existence as Central 
Universities and others were upgraded from State Universities to 
central Universities; some are doing extremely well, while others are 
lagging behind.


Goa and Central University

The UPA Government in its generosity selected Goa as one of the 
recipients of large scale central funds. To understand the scheme of 
funding better, one must note that Goa University will receive 11 
crores from Central Government for the five years of the XI Plan 
while a central University would receive around 160 crores for the 
same period. If funds are available, one can have better and 
additional infrastructure, advanced technology, more teachers and 
better paid luminaries, variety of courses that respond to the needs 
of the market and to the stirrings of the soul, course marketing, 
highly  paid guest faculty, initiatives to sustain growth and 
progress etc. As the common man says the rich grow richer the Goa 
University would have a chance to grow qualitatively and quantitatively.


Upgradation of Goa University

The Government of Goa accepted this gift and proposed that Goa 
University should be the recipient of these funds with its 
upgradation to Central University. And rightly so! Being unable to 
provide equivalent funds, the best option for the Goa Government was 
to welcome with open hands the central offer. I also appreciate the 
initiative of our Government to offer a platform for discussions 
about the considerations to be weighed at the time of upgradation.


No state university can excel without adequate funding. Even 
competent and renowned faculty will desert the sinking ship and 
accelerate the deterioration. A vicious cycle sets in thereafter.


There cannot be progress when there is no autonomy. One cannot bind a 
person with fetters of iron shackles and ask him to run! At present, 
Goa University has to obtain NOC from the Government even to appoint 
a peon. Though this is an anachronism, unfortunately it is a reality.


In many states a University is treated as a fiefdom of the ruling 
party and subjected to political interferences at the drop of a hat. 
It is very difficult to excel under these circumstances. Fortunately, 
our Chief Minister is determined to put education in the hands of 
educationists.


When we express adverse remarks regarding a University, this refers 
to the specific people who work in the University. They may need 
correction. Why should the University suffer? And this definitely 
translates into why should our students suffer?


Claim for central funds

We will be sounding the death knell for Goa University and choke it 
to death if we ignore its claim or of its students to central funds 
through upgradation and suggest the establishment of another 
University in Goa during the XI Plan. The good must not be made an 
enemy of the probable best and not even the best. Just

STUDY CENTRE FOR IAS, IFS, IPC, ETC AT XAVIER'S

The number of Goan Youth appearing for various national competitive 
examinations is slowly increasing, but is quite less when compared to 
those in other States of India.  This is partly because of lack of

them.  With this in mind, the College runs a Study Centre for 
providing preparatory classes for those answering UPSC (IAS, IFS, 
IPS, etc.) examinations.


Students between 21 to 30 age group with graduation in any discipline 
are eligible to answer this exam.  Students of First Year, Second 
Year, Third Year and others are allowed to register for the 
preparatory classes.

etc.) examinations will commence on the 9th of August, 2008.  Classes 
will be held on Saturdays from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm and on Sundays from 
10:00 a.m to 1:00 p.m. in the College premises.  The course fee is

New Year at Xavier's

The new academic year 2008-09 was formally initiated at St. Xavier's 
College on the 23rd of June 2008 by the patron of the college, His 
Grace, Archbishop Patriarch, Filipe Neri Ferrao. In his homily, His 
Grace dwelt on the various facets of faith, in keeping with the theme 
of the Eucharistic celebration, 'Live in faith, Spread the Good 
News'. He stressed on how the challenge open to all was to promote 
communion, fellowship and understanding. In his remarks as the Chief 
Guest for the day, Archbishop Patriarch, Filipe Neri Ferrao, in his 
few words congratulated all the meritorious students. He spoke about 
the need of co-operation that was essential to make any task 
successful and appreciated the efforts of all those who worked 
towards creating an environment that was conducive to the progress 
evident at St. Xavier's College.


The Eucharistic celebration was followed by a brief cultural 
programme. In his opening address the Principal of the College, 
Principal Newman Fernandes, highlighted the excellent results that 
the students of the College had secured at the recently held Third 
Year exams. He also revealed how the college had grown in terms of 
infrastructure, the number of courses offered and research 
activities. He thanked the Archbishop Patriarch for his constant 
support. Concluding his address he encouraged all the 'stakeholders' 
to keep thinking of measures that would make St. Xavier's College 
even more progressive.


The 143 meritorious students who secured distinctions at the Third 
Year exams and the   students whose projects were 
nominated as best projects from their respective departments at the

  Annual Day Celebrations at Xavier's

The harder I work, the luckier I get, these were the words of the 
mining magnet, Mr.Audith Timblo, the chairman and M.D, Sociedade De 
Fomento Industries Pvt Ltd, who was the Chief Guest at the 44th 
Annual Day function of St. Xavier's College held on December 15th at 
the Dr. Mariano Saldanha Lawns.

The Chief Guest, Mr. Timblo speaking to the students emphasized on 
the fruits of hard work. He spoke globally that India needs to aspire 
and stress for higher education among people just like the U.S. and 
the U.K. and that we have a very small percentage of our population 
that specializes at a higher level of education. He also mentioned 
that colleges and other  institutions in the educational field should 
not only look forward for major aids towards the government but also 
look for support from private sectors.

The Principal of St. Xavier's College, Prof. Newman Fernandes, in his 
welcome address, mentioned about  the vast opportunities offered by 
the College which attracts large sections of students even from 
remote areas, such as Rivona and Valpoi. He said Tomorrow's Success 
Begins Today, and to have successful citizens, the secret lies in 
hard work and dedication. For a country to develop, education is the 
key factor to progress.

Later, Ms. Tanvi Narvekar, Mr. Shane Lobo and Mr. Ivan D'mello who 
stood 1st 2nd and 3rd at the T.YB.A, B.Sc and B.Com examinations 
respectively were felicitated at the hands of the chief guest. The 
vote of thanks was proposed by Miss Farell De Souza,  General 
Secretary of the Students' Council followed by a cultural program 
performed by the students of the College and HSS Section.

What you do is what defines you.


The third two-day Commerce Fest ARENA, organized by the Department of 
Commerce of St. Xavier's College, is all set to take off on 5th 
December, 2007, in the College Campus.  Arena 2007-2008 has as its 
central theme, What you do is what defines you.  The main purpose 
of the fest is to inculcate a spirit of teamwork, enthusiasm and 
competition amongst Commerce students in order to prepare them to 
face the dynamic corporate environment.

The first competition will be the NUMERO UNO.  In today's fast paced, 
aggressive corporate world, every company vies to be the best in its 
field.  However, to succeed in business, one needs intelligence and a 
good personality to back it up.  Hence, this event is a test of the 
participants' skills to achieve success.  Numero Uno goes along the 
lines of the CAT examination.  WIZARD OF ADS gives the participants a 
platform to showcase their skills in the field of 
advertising.  Creativity and innovative thinking are the prime 
requirements for success.  In NOUVELLE AVENTURE participants have to 
conceptualize, present and convince a panel of venture capitalists 
about an innovative business idea for a product or a serivce that 
wuold be economically and practically viable.

BRAIN DRAIN is a straight forward even testing knowledge on various 
commerce related aspects ranging from general knowledge to CEO to 
mergers.  It consists of two round, an initial eliminatory written 
round followed by a three tiered finale.  NEWSPAPER puts the 
participants in the drivers' seat allowing them to construct an ideal 
newspaper of their choice keeping in mind current events, good taste 
and strong commercial skills.  PRINT AD tests the participants' 
capability to market a product and to make a favourable and lasting 
impression on the judge.  MODEL MAKING is a competition based on the 
Boston Consultancy Group Matrix.  The main aim of this event is to 
conceptualize the given theory.  COAT OF ARMS is an event which 
provides a platform for demonstrating the requirements for success 
through the designing of a logo.  A logo is a form of communication 
and companies are often recognized more by their logo, than by their 
name.  STOCK SHOCK is based on the traditional trading scenario of 
the stock market.  This provides an opportunity t o the participants 
to prove themselves in share trading.

The overall winners of ARENA 2006-2007, last year were St. Aloysius 
College, Mangalore.  The College wishes to expose students to higher 
levels of competition and help them realize what is expected of their 
performance in relation to modern day trade commerce.  This indeed 
can be the foundation for students to scale greater heights in future.
