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.

    St. Mary`s College, has placed research as one of its academic benchmark and endeavours to promote high quality research contribution in the campus. ‘Marian Quest’ the peer reviewed, multi-disciplinary in-house journal creates an avenue for both the outside and inside researchers to share their expert findings in their area of specialization. In its research journey, ‘Marian Quest’ has completed six volumes and a special issue successfully.  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.
