Our Principal Says it all

“How dull it is to pause, to make an end,
To rust unburnish'd, not to shine in use! ”
 Alfred Lord Tennyson (Ulysses)

To serve Govt. Ranbir College first as a teacher for almost 28 years and now as Principal after my elevation has been truly a rewarding experience. Educating youth is an investment not only in the present but also in the future of human society. However, I feel enthusiastic since Govt. Ranbir College commands a colossal status in almost every field of human endeavour. I feel overwhelmed by its majestic legacy which has acted as a catalyst in transforming the academic landscape of this region. The college offers a galaxy of courses in various streams. Activities under NSS, NCC and Red Cross schemes are being conducted for the holistic development of the students.

Any educational institution is expected to perform a broader obligation towards society and I must assume this responsibility to fulfill the objectives that this prestigious institution envisages. I assure all the stakeholders that I will leave no stone unturned in making our students truly cosmopolitan, employable, rational and sensitive human beings. Adapting to invariably changing conditions is something indispensable to all of us so our thrust is always to make our students self-reliant and capable so that they can explore more domains and conquer new forts. We want our students to contribute to the future of this great nation which after the landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the moon and successful hosting of the G-20 summit in 2023, has proved to the world that India is going to have a sacrosanct and decisive role in world affairs in times to come. We want our students to work for the entire human race since we all share a common future and destination. 

Before I conclude myself, I feel immensely elated to let all of you know that NAAC peer team is visiting this college to accreditate under Cycle-3. On this historic occasion, I seek not only your best wishes but also active participation to push our boundries further. I would like to solicit the help of all stakeholders and alumnae members to come forward and help me to hitch the wagon of this college to the stars.  Finally, I would like to quote the great sage and poet Rabindranath Tagore so that we may collectively strive toward our coveted goal:

“Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high

Where knowledge is free,

Where the world has not been broken up into fragments

By narrow domestic walls,

Where words come out from the depth of truth

Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection.”
