In India, there are over 600 Claretians working in eleven states. They serve the poor and the marginalized through pastoral and spiritual animation, educational endeavors, care for the leprosy-affected, drug addicts, HIV and AIDS affected, ex-prisoners, the blind, the differentially-abled, tribals and dalits. In India, they run more than 30 educational institutions, which include schools, colleges and institutes of higher learning.

St. Claret Educational Society, Bangalore was established in 1989 by the Claretians with the aim of providing holistic and quality education to the student community of Bangalore, and in tune with its proclaimed mission of responding creatively to the needs of God’s people. St Claret School was opened in the same year.

St Claret Educational Society entered into the second phase of its growth in the academic year 2002-2003 by opening St Claret PU College in order to respond to the growing need for quality and value-based higher education. The Society has entered into the 3rd phase of its growth in the academic year 2005 – 2006 with the establishment of St Claret College, as an affiliated college of Bangalore University. The venture has been a natural process of evolution of the wider vision and commitment of the Claretians to develop their educational activities into a major project in order to serve the neighborhood communities through an education that seeks to equip the students with skills for their personal and professional lives and meaningful contribution to the formation of a civilization of love. The Society has entered post-graduate education by launching MBA (Master of Business Administration) in the academic year 2011-12.
