VARIOUS CLUBS
St. Joseph’s P.U. College has a variety of
clubs beyond the school curriculum.
Clubs offer important life skills that students can use for the rest of
their lives. When a student joins a club
and actively participates in its activities, his/her communicative skills
improve. Besides, these activities teach
leadership and team spirit. Clubs also
host a variety of competitions in order to develop the hidden talents.
Eco – Club
The Eco – Club plays an important role in
creating environmental awareness among students. The objective of this club is to motivate the
students to keep their surroundings green and clean by undertaking the
plantation of different saplings ; to
promote the thought of conservation of water ;
to create/foster critical thinking on environmental safety and security
and also to develop practical and sensible approach to environmental
degradation.
So throughout the year members of this club
maintain cleanliness in the school premises.
They conducted a Rain-Harvesting programme as a technique of water
conservation and planted different saplings on the event of Vanamahotsava. They took care to water and manure these
plants throughout the year.

tap the effective communicative skills and also to bring to light the hidden
talents of the students. The Literary

speaking. These competitions encourage
students to develop a taste for literature and to improve their written and
spoken language.
Commerce Club
In order to meet the challenging needs of
corporate world environment, it is not sufficient for a student of Commerce to

dynamic way to face practical situations.

Laboratory
With the objective of social service, and
to provide value-based quality education to rural students, the Christian
Brothers introduced the Science course in the P.U.C. in the year
1996. Since then St. Joseph’s
P.U. College has made remarkable
progress in the field of education.
Science is a practical subject, the
teaching of which cannot be done properly in theory form alone. It is necessary to conduct various kinds of
experimental works which are practical in nature. So, to carry out the Science teaching process
effectively, the management established four labs : Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Computer
Science. The labs are spacious, well
ventilated and well-equipped. Here,
various scientific apparatus and equipment is arranged in a systematic manner.
Every day, Science students visit the
laboratory during their practical hour.
The lecturers guide the students in handling various apparatus and to
think independently. Science practicals
raise their level of self-confidence and develop scientific attitude among
students. At the end of the term, the
student’s practical ability is assessed through practical examination. As a result, most students realize this is an
opportunity to score high marks, and they do.
Library
The proper management of a library is a
necessary part in the drive for the spread of education. So, the Christian Brothers established a good
library in order to develop a healthy reading habit among students.
The college library has a spacious reading
room with a good collection of books, magazines, standard journals and all
leading newspapers. Altogether, there
are more than 14,000 books on various topics. The library also helps students to refer to
topics related to their subjects.
Besides encouraging the students to develop the habit of reading, some
assistance and supervision is helpful.
From class VIII to II
Yr P.U.C. the students are allotted one hour in a week as a library hour. During this hour and also leisure time
students visit the library and make the best use of the variety of books
exhibited in the library to enrich their knowledge. Reading books not only gives knowledge, but
also develops self-discipline in students.
Our Librarian, Mr. Vijay, who recently
passed away, was a lover of books. He
always advised and guided the students in the use of the library. He worked wholeheartedly to raise the
standard of the library by arranging the books in the way that they would
benefit most.
