Many Belgian scholars, academicians and social workers started many schools and colleges for formal and non-formal, and technical education in India. Several renowned Xavier Institutions are a result of their dedication and hard work. These Belgians came to the present Central Indian States in 1905. They had great accomplishments in Calcutta and Ranchi Provinces before they came to the then Central Province. Millions of people over the years have benefited from the education provided by these Jesuits in India and abroad.
This humble initiative is to pay a tribute to these visionaries by a group of students who have studied under these Belgian Scholars and Academicians at various schools, colleges, professional institutes, and some of them have been co-workers at various institutes. Many of these institutions have become iconic as well as a proud heritage for the country. These people want to express their heartfelt gratitude to the Royal Family of Belgium and these luminaries who willingly supported these visionaries to offer their selfless services.
