As per the guidelines set by UGC, Assumption College has been undertaking a lot of extension activities/ outreach programmes for the
Community. NCC,NSS,CSM, Youth Red Cross, Human Rights Cell and Women’s Cell are the main arms through which community outreach programmes are conducted. Apart from this, different departments conduct their own programmes for the community.
A significant step in this direction was taken in 2003-04 by laying foundation stone of the Archbishop Powathil Assumption Community College. It also houses a Women’s Studies Center aimed at utilising the resources of the college for finding solutions to the problems faced by the women in locality. In addition, through our Open NSS programmes, much emphasis is laid on experimental learning. It aims at personality development through service to community.
Our college co-operates with various social service organisation in the locality like CHASS to organise the outreach programmes. In 1987 we launched a large scale housing scheme where we aided the building of 675 houses for the poor and homeless in collaboration with Government and University agencies.
Some of the crèches, nursery schools, community halls and tailoring centers in the nearby villages are testimonies of our community outreach programs. The various extension activities have helped in creating social awareness among students.
