Dhyan Ashram (Juniorate)

The Jesuit Juniorate became a part of Dhyan Ashram in 1985. Since then it has been running more or less regularly.  It was housed at Arpan till 1999 and then shifted to Bairagi and Chinmayi blocks (where the Novitiate used to be).  It was soon time to replace these old buildings. So, a new and bigger building was constructed for the Juniorate in 2005, named Sandipan. The Juniorate actually was shifted to Sandipan, in 2009. It is spacious enough to house twenty Juniors and is equipped with a beautiful chapel, a well-furnished and computerised language lab and other facilities. The Juniors have an intense ten-month long training on languages, humanities and other skills. In the Juniorate, the young Jesuits are trained to face the world as they move on to begin their academic life.
