>> About College

The logo of the college consists of the symbol of a book with lamp from which the light of knowledge is spreading just like the rays of sunlight. In the inner side of the symbol a part of Sanskrit stanza -‘vidhya yogena rakshyate ‘is written.

The full stanza and its meaning are as under:

‘ satyen rakshyate dharmo, vidhya yogena rakshyate !

bhrujaya rakshyate rupam, kulam vrutan rakshyate ‘ !!

‘The religion is protected by truth, knowledge is protected and remains alive by constant touch with it (knowledge), appearance is protected by cleanliness, and ancestry is protected by good conduct. ‘

The Sanskrit stanza emphasizes not only on truth, cleanliness, and good conduct (Morality), but also to remain in constant touch with knowledge by learning and spreading it. So, like the rays of the sunlight knowledge enlightens the students. The process of constant learning and researching of knowledge helps the students to enlighten themselves as well as people of the society or country just like the rays of the sunlight.

The duty of a student is to acquire knowledge and to remain in constant touch with it. The duty of a teacher is also to acquire and expand knowledge pertaining to his faculty or subject.

So, the above logo of our college itself explains the ‘motto’ of our college.
