As a Jesuit Educational Institution, St. Xavier's University, Kolkata has remained committed in showing its continued support towards the social cause. The University stands firmly committed towards its Jesuit/Xaverian Motto: 'forming men and women for others'. As a result, it initiated a Non-Academic Credit Programme which is unique of its kind.

Under the Non-Academic Credit Programme, each UG student gets an opportunity to spend at least 30 hours (during three-year period) to contribute towards the social change through various social activities initiated by the University.

It is an effort by the University's youth to share the knowledge and wisdom with the underprivileged. The volunteering students benefit in terms of getting exposure to the rural life and social reality. They also learn the value of sharing, caring and doing something meaningful for others! As a result, the students contribute in brining sustainable solutions using educational programmes to empower children, youth and communities for a better future.
