Extension Services

In alignment with its goals and objectives, Andhra Loyola College (ALC) has identified its Extension Program as a core area of operation. Embracing its Institutional Social Responsibility, ALC recognizes that its role extends beyond merely generating and transferring knowledge. It also aims to provide extension services that transfer the benefits of the knowledge it generates and preserves. Consequently, ALC organizes two distinct extension programs: ALERT (Andhra Loyola Extension Service for Rural Transformation) and ALANA (Andhra Loyola Assistance for Neighborhood Advancement). ALERT (Andhra Loyola Extension Service for Rural Transformation) was introduced in the academic year 2003-2004 as 2012-2013 as part of the College’s Golden Jubilee initiative.  And as part of the College’s Diamond Jubilee initiative ALANA (Andhra Loyola Assistance for Neighborhood Advancement) was introduced.  Both the programs are integral components of the curriculum for first-year degree students, mandatory for the award of degree and credits are assigned in the Choice Based Credit System of the College.

Objectives and Significance

The extension programs at ALC are the most influential conceptualizations of macro-social work practice. They aim to develop a comprehensive plan of action for community development and rural education. These programs are designed to be 'mixed and phased,' ensuring a holistic approach to empowering communities and fostering sustainable development.
