AIACHE aims at the renewal and growth of member colleges as well as the promotion of the quality, value-orientation and social relevance of Indian higher education in general. Over the years AIACHE has become the symbol of the deepening spirit of ecumenism and Oneness in the Mission of the Churches, the new concept of mission understood as the responsibility to bring about Communion among the people, to work for Justice, Peace and Sustainable Development. A priority for AIACHE is collaborative effort, working with the Governmental and Ecumenical agencies, people of other faiths and like-minded groups, national and international, with shared values and concerns.

The purpose of AIACHE is to work for the constant development of educational specifications like knowledge and to create a just and humane society in the light of Christian Faith, Gospel Values, Excellence and Leadership.

The Aim of AIACHE is to bring all the Christian Higher Educational Institutions in India under one umbrella by name “All India Association For Christian Higher Education”, to maintain it as an Ecumenical Association of Higher Education and to encourage the Minorities of Christian Churches for their development upholding the Constitutional values of “Justice, Liberty, Equality and, fraternity assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity and integrity of the nation” and protecting the Minority Rights guaranteed by the Constitution.
