The College Emblem is a symbolic expression of the vision and mission entrusted to the College by its founders.
The emblem takes the form of a shield, crowned at the top, bearing a flaming heart on the left and the map of India on the right. At its centre, an open book and a burning lamp rest before the Omniscient Eye.
The Open Book and Burning Lamp represent knowledge and wisdom that flow from the Divine. The book stands for both the Bible and the Constitution of India, signifying the holistic education the College imparts, one grounded in faith and in the values of the nation.
The Flaming Heart signifies the unconditional love and compassion of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Heavenly Mother and patron of the College, who inspires in her children a burning desire for true wisdom and a deep love for others.
The Map of India represents our motherland and the College’s commitment to the service of the nation.
The Crown symbolises the glory of Mary, the Heavenly Mother, and the rich and regal heritage of India.
The Rays of the Omniscient Eye denote the all-encompassing love and protection of the Almighty. They also signify the light of wisdom, truth and knowledge needed to serve God and country, dispelling the darkness of ignorance, untruth and immorality.
The Motto, Pro Deo et Patria (“For God and Country”), completes the emblem and expresses the ultimate purpose of education as envisioned by the founders.
