That’s what the term, Promethean' signifies. Language is not merely an instrument for communication, rather, it is constitutive of reality. Learners at the undergraduate level, are therefore expected to gear up to the next level of intellectual and emotional readiness to interrogate the quotidian definitions of the everyday reality and engage more spiritedly in the cognitive restructuring of everything we are tempted to deem as reality. It is this issue and theme that the session intends to address. 11.30- 12.25 pm Fr.Joseph Kusumalayam The Heartian DNA This session is to introduce the first years, the motto, vision and mission of the college.
