St. Xavier's College, Mumbai
(Empowered Autonomous Institution)
BACHELOR OF COMMERCE (B.COM)
Decree 4 of the 32nd General Congregation (1975) of the Society of Jesus made a clear option for the poor. Keeping this in mind the Bombay Province of the Society of Jesus began the Commerce Section in St. Xavier’s College in 1988. The primary aim of the Commerce Section has always been to cater to the poorest of the poor. This was why it’s lectures were scheduled in the evenings, when those who were economically poor and had to work during the day to earn a living and sustain their families, could attend College. In the 33 years since its inception, the Commerce Section has been able to stick to this rationale and has grown from one class and one division in 1988 to 2 divisions each of First, Second and Third year. Girl students are granted admission even if they are not working since the girl child is already at a disadvantage when compared with the male child.
