Today the day was spent in St Joseph College for Women at Visakhapatnam. This college had started in a small way in 1958 with 6 faculty and 28 students but today this college has 1880 students,145 faculty, 25 departments and 19 UG and PG programs. Located in the heart of the city it has a campus of seven acres. In its vicinity it also has a hundred and seventeen years old church. There was a tile on the roof which said 1902.Besides students from different parts of the country it also has students from different countries in Africa, Malaysia, Afghanistan etc. The students, including the foreign ones put up a beautiful cultural programme in the evening. A very hectic but enjoyable day going around different departments, seeing their infrastructure, various facilities, interacting with Alumni, parents, teachers, non teaching staff. It amazes me to see so much creativity in our different educational institutions all around the country and though they work with so many constraints they are able to bring out the best in the students.
