Network of Ex-Xaverians of St. Xavier’s Alipurduar

Services and history

The Jesuit Order “Society of Jesus” was founded by St. Ignatius of Loyola in the 1530s. One of his first companions was the then professor of the Paris University, Francis Xavier, who came to India in 1542. He opened the first Jesuit school in Goa in 1543. It was named St. Paul’s College. Nothing exists of this institution today except its memory, but it was the predecessor of hundreds of other schools and colleges. JAAI is also affiliated to the World Union of Jesuit Alumni.

Today, in India the Jesuits conduct no fewer than 38 university colleges, 5 Institutes of Business Administration and 155 high schools spread throughout the country, almost all of them among its most reputed (for example: St. Xavier’s, Kolkata, Mumbai, Ranchi; Loyola, Chennai, Vijayawada; St. Joseph’s, Bangalore, Trichy; XLRI Jamshedpur; XIM, Bhubaneswar). In them, more than 250,000 students belonging to every religious, linguistic and socio-economic group receive their education.

The Alumni Association in St. Xavier’s School, Alipurduar started on the 30th June 2025 under the supervision of Principal Fr. Lawrence Thanislaus SJ.
Its vision is to foster a strong bond among past and present Xaverians, nurturing values of service, excellence and brotherhood that are the hallmark of Jesuit education. The Association aims to support the holistic growth of the school, organize meaningful events, create professional networks for alumni, and give back to society through charitable initiatives. United by shared memories and guided by Jesuit ideals, the St. Xavier’s Alipurduar Alumni Association aspires to keep alive the spirit of “Men and Women for Others,” ensuring that every Xaverian remains rooted in compassion, integrity and the relentless pursuit of excellence.
