About Us

The College, established in 1956, is situated on the heights of Seminary Hills in beautifulsurroundings. The College, established by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Nagpur, is a Christian minority institution, managed by S.F.S. College Society P.T.R. No. F-2278 (N). It aims at giving its men and women students sound education, which while training them for academic success, will also make them self-reliant, keen, co-operative and incorruptible citizens.

The college crest represents the sun, source of light and heat, which symbolize truth and love, the College motto. Together, figure and words provides to the college the inspiration of its life under the patronage of St. Francis De Sales, renowned in history for his vigorous fight for truth mingled with an ever-winning love. From the sun emerge the five

principles of guidance, symbolized by the human hand as "Upright character", "loyalty to authority", "devotion to duty", "Friendly comradeship" and "social service". These five principles formulate, as is well known the five main characteristics of those who live up to the expectation of the College: "upright character" as the basic trait, "loyalty to authority" in relation to one's superiors, "devotion to duty" vis-a-vis oneself, "friendly comradeship" in one's dealings with companions and "social service" with a reference to the underprivileged and handicapped.

The three colours of the college flag, blue signifying the achievements of the mind, red denoting prowess in sport and physical fitness, and white standing for integrity and nobility of character, also find a place in the college crest.

Its best motto might be found in the scriptural words "with truth and love" (2 John), truth, uncompromising, inspiring and fascinating, love, all pervading, all enduring and irresistible.

It believes in the supremacy of spiritual and moral values, in the importance of an all round education over mere instruction, in the training of character through regulated freedom. Its spirit manifests itself in uprightness of character, loyalty to authority, devotion to duty, friendly comradeship and social service.

Since its inception, 117 students have figured in the Nagpur University Merit list of B. A. and B. Sc. Similarly 163 University awards for excellence have been bagged by the college students.
