In connection with the Golden Jubilee year of the Chanda Mission, the Syro-Malabar
Major Archiepiscopal Church is celebrating the Mission Year from 15 August 2011 –
15 August 2012. Chanda is the first ever extra-territorial mission area entrusted to
the Syro-Malabar Church in India. The year 1962 is a ‘historical mile stone’ in the
evangelization history of India as Chanda Mission was carved out of the Nagpur
diocese in central India. Chanda Mission was entrusted to the CMI Congregation.
The pioneering missionary priests of Chanda were trained in Dharmaram College.
Several Syro-Malabar women religious congregations fielded their enthusiastic
missionary sisters as well at Chanda. Mar Januarius Palathuruthy CMI, first
Exarch/bishop, was the architect of Chanda Mission.
The first mission territory ad gentes for the Syro-Malabar Church, outside the proper
territory, the Chanda Mission, was evangelized and initially developed by the CMI
missionaries. In this Golden Jubilee year of the beginning of Chanda Mission,
Dharmaram College together with Dharmaram Vidya Kshetram (DVK), Christ
University & the Syro-Malabar Parishes of Bangalore organize a national mission
seminar. The theme of the seminar is St. Thomas Christians and Evangelization. It
will be conducted from 22-24, November 2011, at Dharmaram Vidya Kshetram
