Infrastructure expansion delivered
Current scope at Marianist Institutions: three educational institutions, 2,500+ students and 250+ institutional staff, with 22 acres of campus infrastructure governed. The 250+ figure is the total institutional workforce across the three institutions — distinct from the 12 departmental heads who report directly, who are themselves distinct from the wider workforce. The three institutions are separate; they do not share one 22-acre campus. The ₹11 crore expansion was delivered earlier at St. Joseph Chaminade Academy.
