They Say It...“Nestled on the panoramic backdrop of the ‘Meenachilaru’ and the age-old Church at Cherpunkal, BVM Holy Cross College is conspicuous for its congenial academic atmosphere. The Principal with his academic and administrative team takes good care of the students, whose enthusiasm makes the campus vibrant.”

The BVM College, Cherpunkal, indeed, happens to be one of the landmark memorials to a great and noble Soul of this Place - Bishop Vayalil of blessed memory… This temple of learning which offers a variety of courses- the conventional and the new generation ones -stands true testimony to tradition and nobility, quality and discipline and a level of eminence in education par excellence. Congratulations.With my prayer of good wishes,

BVM Holy Cross is a college that has in recent years registered a quantum jump in many aspects of its functioning. Something new is happening here in every month. Creativity and commitment are the hallmarks here. Let the light shine ever more...

It was always a delightful experience for me to visit BVM Holy Cross College, Cherpunkal. This college radiates with positive energy under the able, dynamic, visionary leadership of the Principal Rev. Fr George. I had the pleasure of interacting with the faculty of this college on two occasions. The faculty were deeply involved in keenly listening to the lectures and absorbing this with absolute sincerity. There are very many healthy practices followed in the college which require emulation by other institutions. I pray to Lord Infant Jesus to bestow his unbounded blessings on this great temple of learning.

Principal’s Message

PrincipalRev. Dr A.J.George Ampazhathumkal

It is said that “the weakest ink is stronger than the strogest

memory”. BVM Beats is the documentation of the memoires of the

academic year 2015-2016. Each of these events has a unique role in

moulding the destiny of the members of BVM family. Homi Bhabha,

Director of the Mahindra Humanities Centre at Harward University

and renowned Cultural Theorist opines that “Sans humanities,

the Centre of Indian Education doesn’t hold”. Many employers

in the corporate world feel that people trained just in technical fields cannot represent their

corporation as a whole, particularly not on a global level. We, at BVM give equal importance

to Arts, Culture, Communication, Outreach Programmes etc. for a holistic development.

This Beats gives a glimpse of these activities along with the teaching-learning process. The

year 2015-2016 was a boost for us to take up challenging ventures in the coming years. I

congratulate all my Team- mates for their dynamism. I gratefully acknowledge the services of

Ms Bhagyasree B. for the unflinching commitment she has shown in bringing out this maiden

issue. I extend my thanks to Mrs Amaladevi V.C. for her untiring support in this endeavour.

As part of the Green Campus Project, the Department of Mathematics launched a new venture, a vegetable garden in the courtyard of the college on 17 October 2015. The function was inaugurated by Rev. Dr A.J. George Ampazhathumkal, Principal, by planting a sapling in the grow bag.

The aim is to spread awareness among the people of the need to avoid toxic vegetables and to develop a safe and healthy food culture among the students and society. This venture, which employs only natural fertilizers will motivate the young minds to cultivate toxin-free fresh vegetable by themselves. “Back to Nature” is the only way to refresh our mind and body. Under the guidance of the teachers the students worked together to fill the grow bags with soil and cow dung and made 120 bags ready for the cabbage buds to be planted.

The three visiting Counsellors: Fr Mathew Panthalany, Fr John Mattamundayil and Sr Jismy FCC and the permanent Counsellor, Sr Annie Ancheril FCC work with utmost sincerity and dedication. Counselling empowers the students to face

life challenges and move ahead to achieve their academic goals. Students can freely approach any of the counsellors and get their help for solving their personal, academic, vocational and other allied problems. Counsellors spent 40 minutes to one hour for each student. During the year a total of 488 hours were spent on counselling.

Parent Teacher Association is very active since the inception of the institution. Sem-wise PTA meetings were conducted for all UG batches and Department meetings were held for

PG batches. A session on “New Age Parent” was engaged by Prof. Tommy Cherian, former Vice Principal of St. Thomas College, Pala. for the freshers and their parents.

From the PTA meeting.

The coat of Arms Professes the intellectual and spiritual aims the college signifies.

The lamp denotes the light of our Saviour Jesus Christ which enkindles us in our daily life. The dove represents the Holy Spirit which inspires and leads us to true wisdom and knowledge. The pen and the book symbolize

An Orientation Programme for the newly admitted students of BVM was conducted on 6 July 2015 in the Mar Sleeva Parish Hall. Prof. Tommy Cherian, former Vice Principal of St. Thomas College, Pala was the Resource Person and the theme of the programme was “New Age Parent”.His session began by stating that unemployment is not the real problem, but the unawareness of the students regarding the complete utilization of the job opportunities available to them. The students should dream higher and the parents should dream about their children’s future. He concluded his words of wisdom by exhorting the students to imbibe emotional maturity and strong sense of determination.

BVM has to its credit a glorious track record of best placement in various Campus Drives. The Placement Cell arranges training classes and mock-interview sessions for the bright future of the job aspirants. Prof.

From the Reflective Writings on one of the best learning journals.

People we interact, events we witness, write ups we read etc. give us valuable insights when we pause and reflect on them. When we write up these reflective notes systematically, it becomes a learning journal. We at BVM, takes up this practice systematically with our learning journals. They serve as personal encyclopedia for future reference. The best learning journal from each class was given prizes on College Day.This is indeed a new feature in our curriculam.

FACULTY CORNER

FAREWELL TO TEACHERS

LEARNING SESSSIONS

TCI WORKSHOP

A teacher is a continuous learner. Learning sessions named “Thursday Sessions”, where each of the faculty was given a chance to excel in English Language were organized every week. Numerous sessions for Speeches, English Songs,Group Activities etc. were conducted by the Dept of English. Faculty

members spent 30 minutes to one hour on every first Friday to learn something new from fellow teachers. One faculty will elucidate on the recent developments in his/her area or introduce a new book.

As part of The Faculty Development Programme, Dr Thomas Abraham engaged sessions on Theme Centred Interaction (TCI) for the faculty of BVM on 24, 25 September and 3 October. The three days were fruitful and ever cherishable and the motto of the programme was “A teacher with a Difference in a College with a Difference.” TCI spends its 20th year in India ever since its arrival

from Europe. Dr Thomas Abraham had become the first accredited Indian TCI- graduate from Ruth Cohn Institute for TCI International and he is now a part of the “Teaching Staff for RCI India”. TCI with its gradual, but everlasting growth in India proved to be a living learning and a psychology, which grows its seekers. TCI advocates its aspirants:

“Be your own Chairperson. That means, be aware of yourself and your internal realities and your environment. Take each situation as an opportunity for your decisions. Give and take according to how you wish to be responsible for yourself and others.”

“Disturbances and strong involvements have precedence. Be aware of obstacles along your way, your own and those of others. If they are not dealt with, growth will be more difficult, even if it is possible.”Enhancing the quality of life and ensuring safety in abundance is the ultimate goal of TCI.

Participants and the Facilitator keenly observing when one of the participants speak during TCI workshop.

Welcome to the maiden endeavour of BVM. Being an academy heading towards professionalism, BVM BEATS

adds a new plume to the crown of BVM. Intended to immortalize the happenings of the college, this newsletter

would indeed be an appreciation for the top notches in various arenas. To set foot on an untrodden trail is

always a task that demands courage. The support of a strong pillar pushes us to take the leap. Having a head

of the institution in the zenith of novelty is such a bliss that we are forced to pounce upon the untried. We deem

it a privilege to express our heartfelt gratitude to Rev. Dr A.J. George Ampazhathumkal, Principal of our

college, who was instrumental in our success.

We also thank the faculty members of various departments for their support. Timely help always needs to be

cherished. We are really thankful to Asst Prof. Shintu Sebastian, Mr Sunny Thomas and Mr Deepu Jose for

their sincerity and concern.

Presenting with contentment, BVM BEATS, the pioneering effort from BVM.

Holy Cross

Bishop Vayalil MemorialBVM College means Bishop Vayalil Memorial College. Bishop Mar Sebastian Vayalil who lived from 1906-1986 was the founder Bishop of the Eparchy of Pala. He was a visionary educationist of yester years. When the new Diocese of Pala was created in 1950, Fr Sebastian Vayalil was the Headmaster of St. Thomas Training School Pala and the Construction Committee Chairman of St. Thomas College. When Fr Sebastian Vayalil was made the Bishop, he gave priority for establishing educational institutions including St. Thomas College, Alphonsa College, St. Thomas Training College and hundreds of schools and vocational training institutes. To perpetuate his divine memories and acknowledge his great contributions in the knowledge world, Mar Sleeva Parish Cherpunkal established Bishop Vayalil Memorial Holy Cross College in 1995.

B V M

Holy Cross is the symbol of Christianity. It symbolises all the sufferings we undertake for a noble cause. Christians believe that these sufferings are salvific. It is believed that St. Helena the mother of the Roman Emperor Constantine found out the true cross (326-328A D) on which Jesus Christ was crucified. Churches celebrate the feast of the exaltation of the Holy Cross on September 14 every year. Syro Malabar Catholics venerate Marthoma cross-the cross without the image of crucified Jesus. This cross symbolises the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Mar Sleeva- Syriac name of Holy Cross- church Cherpunkal was established in the year 1101 AD with a picture of Holy Cross brought from Persia which is still in the “Madhbaha” sanctuary. Holy Cross College got its name from the Holy Cross Church as the usual practice of maintaining the institutions of the Parish under the parish name.
