Academic year at St. Xavier’s College concludes, releasing fifteen newsletters

Students of St. Xavier’s College, majoring in Social Work and Psychology with a Journalism elective, as part of their writing project, wrapped up their academic year by releasing fifteen newsletters as their final academic deliverable. Working with 15 different groups, two of them produced Asha Awaaz and The Orchid Chronicles , the newsletters for the NGOs Asha Nepal and Orchid Garden Nepal, respectively. With this writing project, nearly 100 students stepped out of the classroom and engaged with the real-world, connecting classroom learning with the job market.

Vice Principal Saluja Chand, Head of the Department of Major Arts Shishir Kumar Bhusal, representatives from the participating NGOs, and Faculty members joined the release ceremony. This project and pedagogies align perfectly with the Strategic Plan (2024-2029) of the University Grants Commission that envisages fostering employability with quality, project- and skills-based education.
