A
SILENT REVOLUTION
Next to the seminar room lies a tiny office (euphemistically
speaking). When you reach there, you are greeted by swinging doors and a
cluttered mess of papers, charts, crayons, sketch pens and a cornucopia of
other stationery all lying in a mess in our cupboard. The students in the
office however are blissfully unaware of the chaos that surrounds them.
That is only because they are on a mission.
Ever since its inception, AICUF has been a harbinger of change urging us to settle for nothing less than justice. It helps us channelize the voice within us that is stifled by a lack of courage. The slogan of AICUF sums up this feeling-We were born into an unjust world and we are determined not to leave it as we have found it. All our activities aim at doing just that.
The AICUF choir invites students of all faiths to give voice to their musical talents by singing for the masses on Ignatius Feast Day, College Day and AICUF day. Every year students of all faiths come together to form a choir that is truly worth remembering.

We AICUFers usually earmark the dates of UJALI on our
calendar considering that it's one of our most important events. In today's
broken world, UJALI strives to give a voice to all those unheard stories of
oppression of women, female foeticide and lost opportunities. The week focuses
on women empowerment and gender sensitization.
Our social outreach visits strive to bring about changes in society that AICUF was founded for: to express solidarity with those who are excluded from the mainstream of society. By reaching out to them in small but significant ways we discover our common destiny as children of a compassionate God.
Our magazine and newsletters deal with a range of topics like human rights, women, our role in a utopian world and so on.
Our YES (Youth Encounter Sessions) camp involves getting to know about the history of AICUF, several activities and guest lectures and promises two days of pure fun while getting to know our fellow AICUFers in order to forge friendships that will last a lifetime.

And so we're asking you. We're asking you if
you want to be a passive observer to the horrors and injustices of our society
or if you want to make a difference. So we may have a small office and we may
not be as popular as the next big thing in college. But we're still here and
through our work we're trying to script the story of a silent revolution so
that the stereotypes and prejudices that plague today’s society can forever be
demolished. So if you're out there and you're feeling lost, confused,
frustrated and angry with the things happening around you, come by our office
because maybe, just maybe you'll find an answer.
