Loyola in the Company of Friends (LITCOF)
About LITCOF
LITCOF – ‘Loyola In The Company Of Friends’ – the transformed ‘reading club’, is an interdepartmental collaboration of five departments of Loyola College of Social Sciences(Autonomous). It is an extra-curricular space where students can participate in discussions on topics of utmost pertinence and express themselves accordingly.
LITCOF showcases a spectrum of activities where students can come together and pave the way for their future endeavours. At the outset, itself, LITCOF has been aiming at building a praxis for the classroom academics. It runs after the renowned Loyolite pedagogy of ‘Engaged Knowledge Building’. It provides multidimensional skills for its members such as writing, reading, communication, discussing, sharing, painting etc.
The goal of LITCOF is to make the students aware of their surroundings and make them fit for any impediment they may face once they leave Loyola. LITCOF members organise at least one activity in a month to meet the goals.

Rebuilding Kerala – A Discussion
30/10/2018
The first initiative of LITCOF was to hold a discussion on 'Rebuilding Kerala after the floods'. LITCOF, being an association to broaden the student's perspective, it was no surprise our first gathering would be of something immediate and dire of nature. Students of various departments joined in as we discussed the disaster management happened before, during and after the floods. As the discussion continued each and every student at the gathering began to chime in their valid opinions and observations. On the whole, the first LITCOF initiative was a grand success which built confidence in the LITCOF committee.
Ponmudi Trip – Photography and Travelogue competition
6/11/2018
After the 'Rebuilding Kerala' discussion, it was time to begin the proper inception of LITCOF. After learning that the floods' main reason was ignorance towards nature, we decided to hold our second programme in the lap of nature. We took LITCOF to Ponmudi, a hill station in the heart of Thiruvananthapuram. We held a photography and travelogue competition to hearten our members. As we went downhill back to our homes, our hearts were loved and our minds revitalized.
Chimizhu – A monthly student publication
Monthly
Chimizhu is a monthly publication to elevate the intellectual capabilities of our members. Every month a particular subject is handpicked as the theme for Chimizhu. Short stories, poems and abstracts of the members are published.
Economic Reservation Policy
