St. Xavier's B.Ed. College is one of the pioneer teacher training college in the district of Ranchi, Jharkhand. Founded in 2006, it has emerged as a center of excellence for the development of innovative techniques and skills in teaching training.

I believe that teacher education has the most critical role to play in the progress of a nation. “We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future”. We help them build here- both in terms of skills and values- will stand them in good stead, no matter which ever place they choose to live. Alongwith the requisite academic and related skills, we try to instil in our students empathy for those less fortunate and concern for the society & environment around them. We create opportunities, not just for young people to learn, but also for them to experience the fulfillment that comes from sharing this learning with others. At St. Xavier's B.Ed. College, we always focus on delivering education that will help create the leaders of tomorrow’s world-men and women who will not just be successful in their individual capacities but who in turn, will contribute to and nurture the world they live in. We have been adhering to Jesuit Society of education.
