    All the Educational Development and Progress all over India, eversince we were gifted with the freedom from the British-raj in the year of 1947, we attribute to the Members of all the Faculty throughout India. The disciplines of Education, the diversities attached to Education and the quality of Education we have accomplished thru our own initiatives is an enormous achievement indeed. St. Agnes College of Mangalore should be proud of this fulfillment.

    Having said all that, our Faculty needs constant surveillance and guidance so that all the faculty is fully acquainted with the changes that are coming through our nation due to ever-increasing number of students each year and the ever-changing nature of Educational level all over India. Every kind of Education need to match with the growing challenges of the Nation so that each and every student gets Graduated on time and also get employed well and on time to fulfill his or her job commitment. It's all supply and demand with no Graduate left behind.

    St. Agnes College and St. Aloysius College are always dear to our heart because our foundation of little Education we attribute to these two fine Institutions of Mangalore. May God continue to bless them in all their future endeavors in life, because thousands of young men and women depend on the fine schools we have been blessed in Mangalore. They deserve our support.
