The staff and students are waiting withenthusiasm and hope for a new era of change and creative assessments of both academic and non-academic opportunities, as is the general mood in present dayIndia. This departmental report reflects the student, staff and association related activities for the academic year ending 2011-12.I. STUDENT RELATED ACTIVITIESThe activities involved the following areas: Syllabus unitization, Department library, Book bank scheme, Providing study materials, Seminar on humanresources, Seminar on banking, Remedial coaching class for arrear students on processMuch of these student related activities were successful due to the very active Prof. Justin Rayappa, President, Commerce Association, and his team ofstudent dedicated student volunteers: Secretary: T. Manoj Prabhakaran (III B.Com), Joint-Secretary: Sathya Prasanth (II B.Com), Administration Secretary:Ignatius Bharath (III B.Com), Cultural Secretary: Manoah Marcus (III B.Com), Academic Secretary: Stevin N. Antony (III B.Com), Welfare Secretary: Ramanan (IIIB.Com), Finance Secretary: Immaculate Lowara (II M.Com), Sports Secretary: Sebastian Richard (III B.Com) and Organizing Head: Merin Jose (III B.Com).SYLLABUS UNITIZATIONThe Commerce department has taken up the unique initiative of restructuring the syllabus for B.Com students, so as to facilitate its educational processes.It involves generating a glossary for all the Major Core papers with keyword listing for all subunits within each syllabus copy. The restructuring process in thecollege was an added impetus to this drive.DEPARTMENT LIBRARY SYSTEMThe Department Library System was inaugurated in July 2011 to help students get useful books for their academic needs. In its first year of operation thisyear, the Department Library is managing nearly 500 books in most core papers in commerce subjects along with other General books. Professors Justin Rayappaand Dr. Xavier Mahimairaj have also made their presence felt by contributing needful books to this system.SEMINARSB.Com. “A”LOYOLA ANNUAL 2011-1235

M.Phil.OUTREACH PROGRAMMEB. Sc Statistics - Area : C.R.P Colony and Ajish nagarAs per the allotment, our students are doing their outreach programme in the above mention area. They are working in three groups for youth empowerment,women welfare and health awareness. They have organized a awareness camp for the 12 th standard students regarding the courses offered in various colleges andabout the course also. Each group has arranged an awareness programme and a detailed study report is submitted as per their guide’s instruction which will beuseful for the future use.M Sc StatisticsOutreach Programme offered by the Department of Outreach, <strong>Loyola</strong> <strong>College</strong> Chennai is a mandatory course offered to all PG Students in the <strong>College</strong> duringtheir academic course. The course is implemented in two phases. The Phase 1 of the Programme was implemented during December 13-18, 2010 wherein thestudents visited “Mel Tiruttani” and got awareness on various social issues that have caused havoc in our society.The Phase 2 of this programme is aimed at the slums within Chennai City through social interventions. The theme allotted to the Department of Statistics was“Drug Addiction and Alcoholism”. The key objective was to spread awareness against this major issue of our society. It began on July 13, 2011 with an awarenessprogramme for us. This was followed by frequent visits to a slum “Rajiv Gandhi Nagar” which is located close to the campus. We got an opportunity to interactwith the people in the slum, understand the impact of Drug Addiction and Alcoholism and spread awareness on the same.On February 14, 2012 the II M.Sc. Statistics students organized a Programme as part of their campaign against Drug Addiction and Alcoholism in ChennaiHigh School, Thiruvalluvarpuram, Choolaimedu and in Rajiv Gandhi Nagar with complete support from Smt. A Jeya, Principal (Chennai High School), the studentsand staff of the school, Shri T. Perumal (Community Leader), faculty members Dr. Martin Luther William, Dr.S Thobias (In-charge, Outreach Activities) andOutreach coordinator Mr. John Kaviarasu.The outreach rural camp for the first M.Sc. Statistics students comprising of 25 students was scheduled from 12 th December 2011 to the 18 th December2011 to Arpakkam in Kanchipuram district. The objective of this camp was to give the students a rural experience and understand their livelihood through a directand practical experience by pulling them out of their cradle of comfort which they experience in the metropolitan city such as Chennai, and offering them no morethan a place to sleep and food to eat prepared by the villagers themselves to thoroughly understand them by living amongst them in their every own environment.The activities performed in the camp such as building an ideal village even before visiting the village gave the insight as to what the students perceived the villagesto be, students who have only seen villages either in geographic channels or read about them in books. In the following two days students were asked to visit 2villages and ask questions about their standard of living and the troubles they face and give a report on the same also were asked to give ideas or suggestions onhow to develop their villages and present the same on the last day of outreach. The Department of statistics was very suppor tive for this cause as Mr. Ruban andMr. Selvam accompanied the students to the camp and stayed with them the entire week and in turn giving the students the moral boost which they required to facechallenges in the days to come and due to which the camp was concluded successfully.jkpH; Jiw,dpnfh jkpH;g;nguit. jj;Jtnghjfu; jkpH; ,yf;fpa kd;wk; kw;Wk; tPukhKdptu; jkpH;g;nguitMfpa mikg;g[fs; K:yk; ,s’;fiy.
