Silver Jubilee of

Kristu Jayanti College,

Autonomous

From the Editors:

Amidst the bustling streets of Bengaluru, India, an educational institution has stood the

test of time and left a lasting mark on the world of higher education. With a history of 25
years, Kristu Jayanti College is more than just an academic institution. It is a testament to

the founding visionaries and the countless others who contributed to its growth.

Kristu Jayanti College was established in 1999 and is managed by the Bodhi Niketan
Trust. It was founded by the members of the Carmelite Province of St. Joseph of Mary
Immaculate (CMI), which is India's first indigenous religious congregation. This

community is the epitome of the dreams and visions of the 19th century Indian educator
and social reformer St. Kuriakose Chavara. The university started with 1 course, 9

students and 3 faculty members and has now grown rapidly to 10,000 students, 33 UG
programmes, 17 PG programmes, and 3 PG diploma programmes. Over the years, Kristu

Jayanti College has embarked on a journey of academic expansion. New courses and
programmes are being introduced to meet the changing needs of a globalised world.
