Editor’s Message
I thank Rtr. Binu for giving me this opportunity and in urging me to come up with the first edition of Ductus
Dictum during the installation ceremony. The name, conceptualized by IPP Rtr. Aditya Mohan roughly translates
to ‘The LEADER SPEAKS’. The main idea of this newsletter is to bring about the LEADER in all of us. The
newsletters to follow will throw light upon a variety of projects, achievements and the color and frolic that
happens around the Loyola Community family.
A lot of people have contributed in bringing out this magazine. Rtr. Aditya for the logo, Rtr. Binu for his inputs,
Rtr. Ramakrishna for the design template and the photos. I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed
compiling it
Cheers,
Rtr. Neelesh
