Carmelite Friars of Manjummel Province (OCD) is working diligently for the last 180 years with the sole purpose of upliftment of the poor and the needy. Initially, OCD community set up hospitals and health care facilities, schools, orphanages and small-scale industrial units to fulfil this objective.
With the advent of reforms, switch over to market economy and opening of global markets, job profiles have gone through radical transformations which necessitate expensive high-quality education for better paying placements in a modern enterprise.
