About

Mission of the Department:

“The illiterates of the 21st Century will not be the ones who cannot read and write but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn.”

- Alvin Toffler in Future Shock

India’s Education goals  have undergone a paradigmatic shift in where education with skills is geared at much more than employability. A rethinking and redesigning of academic systems is being done to ensure inclusive education for all.

National aspirations with individual gains are being aimed at alongside global aspirations of an India that is rising and which is keeping education as a central tenet as it turbocharges its ambition. Here, the students of today become the future of the nation.

Our mission is to incorporate alternative pedagogical techniques with interactive technology within conventional classroom settings. The learning receptivity of learners will grow exponentially by the use of this blended mode of teaching that is at par with international standards while meeting national requirements.

As Albert Einstein said,
"I never teach my pupils, I only provide the condition in which they might learn",our mission remains the same."

 

Vision of the Department:

“Teachers should move from being the sage on the stage to guide on the side.”

The Department believes that each student is endowed with immense potential to change the future of the nation for the better.

We strive to invest in each student by facilitating their learning while honing their strengths as they acquire knowledge of the discipline.

At the end of each course, our goal is to ensure that each student leaves as a conscientious citizen who knows their rights and duties and is keen on giving back to the community and the world as a global citizen.
