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. It is imperative for an interconnectedness of research and the progress of a nation, as scientific growth, technology; productivity and employability are dependent on research and innovation. It is with this vision that St.Mary’s college initiated Marian Quest.

It continues to maintain its quality standards and improvises on new, to make it to a top ranking journal of its kind. To achieve this purpose an input of quality research contribution is essential. Constant and stringent efforts of the research committee and its editorial team further refine, restructure and enrich the contents of this journal.
