Core Values

The College has, through the years, transformed itself in keeping with modern society and technological advancements while remaining wisely insistent on preserving and cherishing traditional values. The College considers it important to impart to the youth, good personal and social values along with a deep appreciation for and a strong sense of pride in India’s culture, tradition and heritage. The top leadership is uncompromising in its ideals of providing quality higher education to the girl child based on a strong sense of personal, spiritual, societal and patriotic values. The success of the College has as its propelling force, a leadership that is honest, wise, benevolent, committed, democratized, caring and receptive. Such a unique leadership is one of the main strengths of the College.

The College has been recognized as a vibrant institution working relentlessly for the cause of women’s education. The College is committed to shaping young women into skilled, responsible, disciplined and socially conscious citizens with a strong value base. It enjoys an enviable track record in producing some of the finest and most disciplined young women in the country, who excel in academics, arts and sports.

The College predominantly applies itself to educating the socially and economically disadvantaged sections of society and first-generation learners, and has been succeeding in providing them a rich academic experience. The College caters to the advanced learners among the students too, through a rich repertoire of value-added courses, exposure to research and in-built mechanisms to motivate them to scale up their performance.

The fact that a large number of students are first-generation learners, poses a challenge of sorts to the College. However, recognizing its responsibility, the College has risen to the challenge and devised unique support mechanisms so that these students rise to compete on a par with those who come from more privileged and educated family backgrounds. The results over the years have been very fulfilling.

Through extension activities, students imbibe the sterling values of empathy for fellow beings, respect for others’ views and abilities and a consciousness of the environment and society around them.
