#PledgeOne :: #DevelopedINDIA

‘Continuity with change’ is our key driving force. NEP-2020 is having brilliant promises and daring proposals. Mindset is the challenge, and implementation is the key to success. Development should focus on access, equity, quality, affordability, autonomy, transparency and accountability. We have to provide not only quality, education but also enhance ‘employability quotient’. We have to remember over past, learning by committing mistakes without repeating the old mistakes; understand and appreciate the current concerns, apprehensions, challenges and ground realities; exhibit our courage to fail, confidence to win and the conviction to succeed in our future endeavours.

We must be able to unleash the human potential within every individual- be it student, faculty or support staff. Student centric and public-friendly academic governance on the one hand and our competency in balancing the conflicting expectations of our multiple stakeholders on the other would certainly go a long way in enhancing the brand equity and reputation of the Higher Educational Institution.

#PledgeTwo :: #DemonetizingCOLONIALMindset

  • The bottom line is ‘Nation First, Character Must’.
  • Make the best use of ‘Indian Wisdom & ethos’.
  • Be yourself and go the extra-mile to make things happen.

#PledgeThree :: #PRIDEinCIVILIZATIONALINDICHERITAGE

• India can become ‘Vishwa Guru’ through Atma Nirbhar Bharath.
• Every time one step ahead: continuous learning, improvement & Development.
• Together we can.

#PledgeFOUR :: Furthering UNITY #EkBharatShresththaBharat

  • Obtain extra-ordinary performance from ordinary people.
