MARIAN QUEST

Marian Quest is a Bi-annual Multidisciplinary Research Journal of St. Mary’s College (Autonomous), Thoothukudi. Research and innovation are portals for the significant growth and progress of a nation. India is the second largest in higher education enrolment and is one among the nations of the world in its considerable contribution to scientific research. However, the growth of research in the country is not in par with nations like China, as well as top academic systems in the world.

Innumerable scientific journals and books are published in all disciplines and in different dimensions in India, yet they fail to reflect or contribute to the economic and social development of the nation.
