Sesquicentennial Year Celebration of founding of CCR 

On 29th November 2018 all sections of Society of Our Lady of Grace Convent's educational complex along with Pushpanjali College of Education collaborated to create and present a musical drama based on the life of Mother Veronica. It comprised of scenes from Mother Veronica‟s childhood and young age slowly leading to her spiritual journey and later her contribution and service to the society. Mother Veronica's voyage to India and her work were the highlights of the play.

 To mark 150 years of the foundation of the Congregation of Carmelite Religious, Pushpadeep organised a talk on the life of Mother Veronica and her work. Dr Agnes DCosta conducted the session with the help of a multimedia presentation. A quiz on the life of Mother Veronica was conducted. Students prepared e-posters to highlight the maxims advocated by Mother Veronica. Winners were awarded certificates. 

Co-curricular activities augment the academic inputs and help teachers to develop all round personalities. The college provided a platform to students to display their talents through various activities. The students of F.Y.B.Ed had a talent display wherein they gave us glimpses of their talents in the form of song, dance and drama. A display of various craft articles, paintings and drawings was also organised. Festivals were celebrated with much enthusiasm. Special assemblies on the occasion of Id, Diwali, Onam and Easter helped to understand the cultural and religious significance of the festivals. Lent was observed with special Lenten assemblies that helped to reflect and look inward. Christmas was marked by a special tableau.
