Competent, capable and human, Fr. Daniel is very well-known for his human relationships and building up the infrastructure of the college. His administrative abilities have been recognized by all those who have worked with him. The college is bound to further progress and expand under his leadership and find a place as an internationally reputed college. A doctorate in folklore, he is a teacher of Kannada. He is well versed with local culture and literature and has his feet firmly on the ground. He was a gold medalist in M.A. folklore from the Mysore University and later completed his doctorate from the same University. He has been in National Assessment and Accreditation Council and has visited several colleges as peer team member as well as University Grants Commission teams for the extension of autonomy to colleges. He has publications to his credit. As he moves into the college, he will supervise the construction of the college hall along with several other responsibilities. We warmly welcome him and assure him of our wholehearted co-operation. St. Joseph’s College truly feels proud that the Management has made the right choice to entrust the college in the hands of a person who has proven credentials.

The college thanks Dr. (Fr.) Ambrose Pinto SJ who labored as Principal for the last eight years and expresses its gratitude to all that he did and for all that he has been to this institution.
