Reading the signs of the times, the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Anne, Tiruchirapali has vowed to place the thrust on opting for the poor. It has been working for the cause of the education and the upliftment of the poor and the downtrodden. After a thorough study, reflection, prayer and discernment, we have proposed to extend our mission through job-oriented training programmes, in the name and style of St. Anne's College of Engineering and Technology, chiefly focusing on the option for the poor, and established the same in the Academic Year 2009-2010. Our aim is to give hope and dignity to the student community through education by means of which character is moulded, strength of mind is increased, intellect is enhanced and also by means of which one can stand on one's own feet. We train the youth to see the good in every human being and to take the best out of each individual, to inculcate a strong sense of values in every student and to help every person promote love, peace and justice in the society.
