Diogenes, the Greek philosopher who is known to have chided even the mighty Alexander, believed firmly in the foundation of the state to be due to an educated youth. In India educating the youth is an uphill task and to achieve it 180 Universities and 6040 Colleges are ardently involved with. Christian colleges of all denomination, numbering 247 constitute 4% of the total educational task-force in India and are playing a prominent role in the field of education. In India, however, there are about 15 colleges with their cultural and social legacy as well as their genesis firmly entrenched in the Anglican Communion.
What enthralls is
however the report that these Anglican Colleges, despite social and
cultural shocks and limitations of all sorts, have earned plaudits
all over India for their academic excellence, altruistic service and
value based education. These colleges boast of a string of
luminaries all across the globe, occupying different domains of the
society, notably the Church and national leadership. These church
originated centers of learning have been successfully imparting
sound learning with priority given in it to accentuate the positive
in life, spirit, with a profound belief in Christ.
