Message from the Principal

 Education is not the event that is organized. It is the formation that begins gradually. It involves the mind and heart of the person having a specific purpose and the target of learning. As the academic year had begun, every academic institution starts its programmes intending to complete the syllabus, organizing the exams and producing the expected results. The focus of higher education is not only fulfilling the academic requirement but also forming the students in the holistic manner.

 The journey through higher education is enabling the students to discover their potentials leading to growth, development based on the value system and the sense of purpose. In today’s scenario the university academic programme may not be designed favorably intending the holistic education. The students have been influenced by the economic uncertainty, lack of guidance, support and the direction regarding the future career choices, shifting family dynamics that affect the mental and emotional aspects to the larger extent and the impact of the social media and its usages.

 In the present time, the prescribed text books alone may not provide the needed curriculum. We need to go beyond the fixed curriculum. The degree programme must include value education, emotional intelligence, communication and employability skills, mental health support through psychological counselling as the part of the curriculum, digital literacy and awareness with positive outcome and the social responsibility events that brings in the reality outside the campus. These activities and programmes can definitely prepare our students to face the life and its challenges of career and values-based life with proper motivation and right orientation. Wishing you all a great teaching and learning experience that accompany the true education of the heart and the mind.
