PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
Dear colleagues, parents, students, alumni and well-wishers, Alphonsa College pays tribute to all the trailblazers for keeping us enkindled! I am greatly honoured to be the Principal of the Alphonsa College, Pala, which has a glorious history to narrate and has given its unwavering commitment to quality formation in the academic and non academic formation of its students, that assures a still brilliant future. Alphonsa College is devoted to chisel out a community of highly qualified, motivated and empowered women, according to the vision of its pioneer patron, Mar Sebastian Vayalil, the first bishop of the diocese of Pala whose herculean efforts and commitment are behind its genesis and growth. Named after St. Alphonsa, the epitome of divine love, the College remains as an epicenter of learning and scholarship for students ranging from the first generation learners from the periphery of the society to those from the mainstream.
The zeal and zest of this diverse student community has been instrumental in keeping the College loyal to the land and its people. The management has left no stone unturned in materializing the noble dreams of its founding fathers. Our team of dedicated, diligent and dynamic staff functions as the backbone of this committed institution. We are also indebted to the parents for their unstinted support and cooperation in taking our college to greater heights. The renowned and illustrious alumnae have constantly made us proud by bringing accolades to the Alphonsian history. The academically vibrant and intellectually challenging environment unique to the College attracts students from all sections of the society. The secure and amicable ambience is an added boon to the scholastic and pluralistic culture that we nurture.
The legacy inscribed in our chronicles inspires each student to be confident, conscientious and equipped to face the challenges of today’s competitive world. We strive for the holistic grooming of our students and ensure that our young women leave the portal of their alma mater as independent, qualified, refined and responsible citizens. Thank you for visiting our website. I pay tribute to all the trailblazers for keeping our banner high and fluttering by your academic and personal excellence! May the Almighty God guide our students of the past and the present to be the emissaries of light in their families and society.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
