Greetings!
Children are born with varying levels of talent and intelligence, but possessing natural smarts and skills is no guarantee of success. It takes more than that; it takes work on the parts of parents and teachers to cultivate these qualities, to instill in children the drive and character necessary to translate their natural gifts into extraordinary results.
Our college cares for the individual development of each and every student. We accord prime importance to the behavioral discipline, moral integrity and cognitive developments of our students.
Our aim is to make learning an enriching, fulfilling, and enjoyable experience through a multidisciplinary approach, combining theory and practice in pedagogy. The focus should be on not only ‘what is taught’ but also’ the way it is taught.’
Creating fecund ground for effective synergies between research and teaching skills, nurturing and fostering critical thinking and problem – solving among students is imperative, Hence our persistent efforts must be to leverage the intellectual and emotional capacities of students, encourage the free and spirited exchange of ideas to celebrate diversity, while ensuring inclusivity.
Our earnest attempt should be towards upholding academic integrity, accountability, sustaining open and transparent systems and being sensitive to social responsibilities. This could be possible only through a collaborative, shared and consultative work culture. This spirit should guide our intent and action in shaping the destiny of the college.
“We want that education by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, the intellect is expanded, and by which one can stand on one’s feet”
