Suvidya College endeavors to provide a relevant formation for the students of philosophy that would equip them with an adequate knowledge of peoples, cultures and religions. As such the program takes into consideration the philosophical, religious and social context. The College facilitates conditions necessary for relevant philosophical reflections while attempting to provide an atmosphere conducive to human development and religious growth.

     Suvidya's philosophy programme is oriented towards preparing the students to be effective in their pastoral ministry in the Indian context. Hence the courses offered in the College are designed to help the students to enter into India's search for meaning and values. This is made possible by making them aware of the social, political, economic, religious and ideological systems and traditions that influence the lives of the people.

     Suvidya also endeavours to inculcate in the students a genuine appreciation for Indian culture and heritage and respect for other religions and religious systems by approaching them with intellectual honesty, openness and reverence.

     Suvidya aims at training students to analyze, evaluate and interpret experience critically and systematically. It encourages clear and creative thinking as well as coherent and cogent exposition of one's philosophical convictions.

     Courses on Western Philosophy are offered so that the students come to appreciate the complementarity of Western and Indian thought patterns and philosophical systems in their approach to questions that lead to coherent and solid understanding of man, world and God.

     Social sciences form a part of the philosophical programme offered in the College. Students who desire to obtain a degree in social science from a secular university are given such opportunities in the last semester of each academic year.

     Suvidya's philosophy programme also includes sufficient exposure to the life-situations of the rural masses, the urban poor and the challenging questions and problems that demand an adequate response.

     The realisation of the Ultimate sat-cit-ananda through selfless and loving service to man is the end of our legitimate search and question. The philosophy programme provides opportunities for the students to have a holistic approach to reality for personal growth through a meaningful community life in accordance with the teachings of the church and prepares them for creative and relevant theological reflections, to be effective witnesses of the Word in the society.
