APX ( Association of Past Xavierites) , St Xavier’s High School Loyola Hall Ahmedabad ) Members at the school today mrg to celebrate the Feast of St Ignatius of Loyola.

Mini sports was organised on the campus along with some more programs and APX was to partake along with students ,staff and management. Due to rains the outdoor events could not be hosted.

The alum takes time out from their schedule and is present ( whenever invited and involved ) for any activity the school undertakes. In working days it is indeed tough to attend programs , still the alum rises above any other call for duty and that is the Jesuit education and values imbibed in us over the years, by those wonderful and visionary Jesuits. Hope the legacy continues and the same sentiment prevails in the years to come..

Today I spent the day with more than 200 Alumni of St. Ignatius High School, Gumla, Ranchi Province; about 110 Kilometers off Ranchi.

This school attained its present shape in 1934, and the present HeadMaster is Rev. Fr. Manohar Kumar Khoya SJ. This school is known for their breeding of world class Hockey Players, our national sport. At any point of time, our National Hockey Team at all levels has members from this school. 

A full 2.5 hour motivation session was taken by me and Er. Shivendra Mohan Sharma, President, JAAI Central Zone. 

By the end of the interactive session, the House was fully charged to launch its ad-hoc inaugural Alumni Association Managing Committee, which was elected unanimously.
