Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh is scheduled to attend the January 21 programme in Kolkata when St Xavier’s College and the St Xavier’s Collegiate School will celebrate 150 years of their existence.

“The programme will mark the year-long celebration of the institution. Throughout the year we will have a series of programmes that will be organized by the school, college and their alumni,” said George Ponodath, rector of St Xavier’s College.
