BEGINNING OF A NEW INNINGS : AS A PROFESSOR OF PHILOSOPHY

Hai friends,

After the gap for about four months, I thought of updating my blog. I am appointed as Professor of Philosophy at St. Albert's College, Ranchi, Jharkhand state.

I have begun my teaching career by conducting orientation for the Philosophers. This year we have 22 Philosophers in the first year. Including the day-scholars and the resident students, the total number of philosophers here are, 72.

On 9th of July we had our Academic Year 2013-14 open. His Excellency Bishop Chareles Soreng S.J., the Bishop emeritus of Hazaribagh Diocese was the Chief Guest. In the Morning we had a concelebrated High Mass, Bishop as the Chief Celebrant. This was followed by the Inaugural Function in which the Master and Bachelor degrees were conferred. I delivered the Schola Brevis on the topic, "Lokasangraha: the welfare of the worlds. It was my MPh Thesis.
