CNI seeking to provide quality higher education, professional courses

Calcutta – The Church of North India (CNI) is planning to make inroads in higher education by offering quality professional courses in its institutions and will be taking up projects to set up institutions teaching a variety of subjects ranging from law to engineering.

According to news reports, it is already eyeing a law college in Rajarhat. "A meeting of the board of governors of the schools under the CNI will be held in early May to finalize the proposal. We will also decide at the meeting which school's name the law college will bear. If our plans materialize, we will start it in 2007," said CNI Bishop Raju of the Calcutta diocese.

According to the Bishop, the CNI also plans to add to the engineering college it had opened on the St Thomas Boys' School premises in Kidderpore. Rajarhat is the preferred location for the proposed institutes.
