MISSION

The Key-word in our mission-statement is "march ahead", i.e. progress in all fields, like agriculture and industry. This is possible only through education, which also, can dispel all kinds of inner darkness, ushering in bright light. One common prayer here, to quote Milton is "What in me is dark – illumine". The illuminated soul inspires the physical body to strive untiringly for perfection, in all endeavours. "Enlightenment" and Empowerment" – the two ideals followed here, aim at making our students knowledgeable as well as suitable for jobs in the larger world. Thus, the vision of a "Complete man" is incorporated in our mission statement, giving a distance place to our institution.
