In this age of commercialisation of education it is noteworthy that the management of Alphonsa College has never accepted any form of donation either for appointment of the staff or for admission to various courses. The fundamental aim of the Alphonsa College is to impart spiritually-oriented and value-based education to young women under circumstances congenial to their all-round development. It encourages the students to aim at excellence not only in academic pursuits, but also in every aspect of human endeavour to achieve perfection. The students are prompted to strive for academic excellence so that in course of time they may take up suitable careers for betterment of their lives and also for their families and society at large. The various co-curricular activities of the College, especially the extension programmes provide them with a rare social consciousness that motivate them to reach out to their fellow-men, particularly the needy and the marginalised.
