For this, our teachers, students and employees work together in close association.

As a result there is an atmosphere of good cheer rather than stress on the campus. In deed and spirit we “live by love”.

Student of this college are encouraged to have a scientific temper, a progressive outlook and a grounding in humanistic values.
