With the blessings from Heavenly Patron “Sacred Heart of Jesus” and with the guidance and

support of our Chairman, Trustees, Advisory Board and Academic Council Members, Teachers,

Parents, Well wishers, Staff and students we could continue to maintain good reputation among

Arts & Science Colleges in the State. I am glad to present the Reportof Activities of Sahrdaya

College of Advanced Studies for the Academic Year 2013-‘14.

1. INTRODUCTION:

Sahrdaya College of Advanced Studies, Kodakara has started functioning from 28 June, 2012

with four currently relevant Programmes such as B.Sc. Psychology, BCA, BCom and BBA with

an absorbing capacity of 40 students for BCom and 24 each for other three programmes. I am

proud to announce that the College enjoys its full capacity in the very initial year and from the

responses that we have had, we have anchored on a firm ground. We have already built up within

the short span of one year a four-storeyed imposing structure measuring 50,000 sq.ft. with an all

inclusive infrastructure and competent staff. The College enjoys extensive and captivating lawn

which whoever enters can feast on. The flora and fauna unique to the campus adds to its beauty

and makes it eco-friendly. Thanks to the efforts of the Management that the access road from the

State Highway is being made more compatible for the public and the users.

2. A BRIEF HISTORY AT A GLANCE:

Sahrdaya College of Advanced Studies is the latest and novel venture of the Diocese of

Irinjalakuda which had been carved out of the Diocese of Thrissur in 1978. It had its humble

beginning with minimal resources at hand and a young Bishop Mar James Pazhayattil who was

then only 50 years of age, at the helm of affairs with a handful number of priests. It was a great

mission on his part to give shape to the Diocese of this size and nature. Needless to say he


accomplished his task with tremendous speed which one cannot imagine. Apart from many other

ventures, education was one of his prominent agenda. With this in view, he had started far back

the prestigious Sahrdaya College of Engineering and Technology which has completed a decade

and celebrated its decennial, reckoned to be the best and the leading Engineering College in the

whole of the State of Kerala. Sahrdaya College of Advanced Studies is yet another prestigious

undertaking which has recently started with immense success near at sight. At the very initial

year the College could bag four programmes at a stretch from the University which could

function with no time lost and with the required number of competent staff generating

confidence in all who were associated in one way or other from within and without.
