Jesus & Mary College New Delhi

All India Catholic University Federation

All India Catholic University Federation is a movement which stands for the service and liberation of all people, irrespective of caste, sex, language and belief. AICUF affirms solidarity with all those engaged in the struggle for peace, human and democratic rights for a world marked by growing economic inequality. The AICUF unit at Jesus and Mary College organizes various socially relevant and personality development-oriented programs with the aim of transformating education for its members. The society tries to achieve this through several outreach programs, by which the students get practical exposure to the day-to-day living of the underprivileged and the marginalized, they are sensitized about the socio-economic realities of our country. Motivated by these experiences, many of the students take up the challenging tasks of contributing towards the emancipation of women and the uplift of the deprived and needy sections of our society. AICUF programs organized within the college help students to develop organizational abilities and leadership skills as they are required to take charge and involve themselves with all the events/seminars and research conducted.

In this academic year AICUF aims to follow the phrase "Transformative Education, leadership and nation building" to inculcate the spirit of research among our young students. The society compromises of more than 400 students. We've been conducting workshops, seminars, talks and around this objective. We inculcate in our students social responsibilities and aim to transform them into good human beings. We further aim to conduct workshops on career counselling, clearing competitive exams and parliamentary debates. The society aims to tap the true potential of each Christian student in our college so that they be truly transformed into a resourceful pool of human capital for our nation and become young women of competence, confidence and values.
