A person’s most valuable asset is never a head full of knowledge, but a heart full of love, an ear ready to listen and a hand willing to help others and then reveal the greatest version of themselves. The Aloysian fraternity equalises intellectual hike with philanthropy. We are fortunate enough to witness the goodness of our college through the “Extension Activity” organised by the department of Applied Economics and Honours on 1st March, 2019 in order to instill the values of cooperation, compassion, kindness unconditional love, respect for others and equanimity.
