The app includes news and event updates, programme details with course syllabus, amongst other information, to enhance Institute’s outreach to student community.
Father Joby Mathew, SSP, General Editor, BYB/Saint Paul’s India, the Guest of Honour, inaugurated the programme and officially released the APP. He spoke to the student and staff groups in attendance, advising them on the critical aspects of building personal connections and communication with audiences, and at the same time, how to make use of technological advances to help reach out to many. Case in point - the app released today.

A big thank you to the management team for expediting this APP for the institute, Prasanna and his team from the technology partners who worked at creating this app, our staff for their insights, reviews and incorporating suggestions, while creating the APP and the content.
