Higher Education - Agasteeswaram, Tamil Nadu, India
Loyola Institute of Technology and Science is situated in Thovalai, Tamil Nadu, India in the foothills of the Western Ghats. The southern districts of Tamil Nadu was once referred as the Oxford of the South India, as large number of meritorious graduates came out from this place and served our motherland with grace and dedication. The Society of Jesus (SJ-Jesuits) have established many schools and colleges (like St. Xavier's College, St. Joseph's College, Loyola College and so on) and gave quality education in Tamil Nadu. They have produced many eminent leaders to serve our great nation including our beloved former President, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam. Hence a set of alumni and beneficiaries of Jesuit institutions have assembled together and registered the Loyola Educational Trust and establishing the Loyola Institute of Technology and Science with the AICTE approval in May 2008. With the main vision of empowering the youth, Loyola Institute of Technology and Science moves ahead on its mission of developing a world class Bio-Medical Technology Centre. The basic infrastructure is built to meet the requirements of youth development. Loyola Institute of Technology and Science is very popular for sports and cultural activities.
