Loyola College of Education, Jamshedpur, began as a college of Xavier School of Management in Jamshedpur in 1976 and in 1992 received its own campus in Telco, Jamshedpur.[1]
In January 2021 the college was closed. In an announcement, the reasons given for the closure were that "the COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing lockdown phases had weakened the financial and administrative structures making it impossible to manage the day-to-day affairs."[2] [3] [4]
In 1976 the American Jesuit Kenneth Judge founded the College of Education at the Xavier School of Management in response to a perceived need for teacher education in the states of Jharkhand and Bihar. It became a college in its own right in Telco in 1992. It has been registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860[5] and recognized by the National Council for Teacher Education[6] and the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (2010),[7] and has received minority status.[8]
