Mission of the Convent/ Institution

Province thought of running a school but it could not get permission from the city planner, Bhopal   Municipal Corporation.  The land is recorded as Amod Pramod / Recreational in the existing master plan of the Madhya Pradesh Town & Country Planning.  After several years of our existence, the Province decided to have the Postulancy, the Formation House here from 2015.  Soon after this,  the new construction took place for the new Novitiate building which was opened on the 15th of  June  2017. This house is named as Gyanjyothi, a formation house.  The decision had taken from the Congregation to have a  Combined Formation  House for the first year Novices of all the 4  Provinces from the 1st of  August 2019.
