“Education is one thing no one can take away from you.” – Elin Nordegren. It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to our college website. St Mary’s College, founded in the year 1980 by the parishioners of Our Lady of Health Church, Shirva under the able leadership of late Rev Fr Aloysius Rosario, believes in providing excellent all-round education for our students in our state-of-the-art facilities. Our college provides education to the poor and downtrodden children of the remote villages in and around Shirva with the vision: ‘Reaching Quality Higher Education to Rural Doorsteps’. As a team working together, we strongly promote academic achievement among our students. Wholesome participation is encouraged in the Add-on and Certificate Courses and all the extra-curricular activities and care is also taken to ensure the well-being and happiness of each and every student in the college.
