Football Ground

With a grant received from the Chief Minister’s special Fund from the Government of Meghalaya, a new football ground is being constructed at the college.

Most of the site levelling has already been completed. Presently, work is in progress on the drainage system to ensure the rains do not adversely impact the ground. The hope is that the ground will be ready by June 2023.

Girls’ Residence Hall

Work on the new Girls’ Residence Hall, as depicted in the architect’s rendition below, had begun but had to be stopped when the workers being attacked on campus. The money was redirected to another project and the college lost the funding. We have reapplied for funds and hope to be able to start the work soon.

The building will accommodate 150 female students and some religious sisters, and possibly also some female staff members. If all goes well, the plan in the future is to have two similar hostels for female students and two for male students.



The Higher Secondary Building

In April 2019, we broke ground for a new building that would have administrative spaces, 12 classrooms, staff rooms, etc., the kind of building that would meet the needs of an educational institution.

The new building, which was inaugurated by the Chief Minister of Meghalaya on 7th December 2021, presently accommodates all classes.

Inside the new building



First School

Soon after receiving permission from the Directorate of Education to start Higher Secondary classes (Arts stream), the abandoned SSA structure on campus was remodeled, renovated and repurposed to start classes. The remodeled structure now had two rooms. The smaller room became the Principal’s Office cum Staff room, while the larger room became the Cl XI classroom.

The redesigned, renovated, and repurposed SSA building serves as the first school building.


Initial Structure

On the land acquired in Umoid for the St. Xavier’s institutions, there was an existing SSA (Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan) building. The village leaders had relocated the school within the village itself in order to offer its students easier access to the school. This building was repurposed and converted into the first Hr. Sec. school building.
