Vision And Mission
VISION
The college is founded on the philosophy of Sri Ramakrishna Dev, Sri Maa Sarada Devi, and Swami Vivekananda – the “Holy Trio” behind the entire Ramakrishna –Vivekananda movement and the establishment of the Sri Ramakrishna Sarada Math and Mission. The inclusive philosophy of Sri Ramakrishna Dev, whom Romain Rolland hailed as the “Symphony of India”, acts as the guiding principle behind the VISION of the college. Sri Ramakrishna Dev’s teachings lead one to look inward, and enrich one’s inner self through knowledge, love, compassion, sacrifice, fellow-feeling and openness. The end of knowledge, according to this leader, lies in the amalgamation of external knowledge and internal richness, thereby perfecting the potentialities already existing in them. Following the patron saint, the college recognizes the significance of integral and holistic education tempered with compassion, conscience and competence.
Sri Maa Sarada Devi, the spiritual consort of Sri Ramakrishna Dev, was the source of inspiration and strength of Swami Vivekananda and the young monks who sacrificed all material comforts in pursuit of their ideals, and founded the Belur Math. In addition to her strong presence and guidance that held the institution together after Swami Vivekananda’s untimely demise, she was also known for her silent support for the nation’s struggle for independence and women’s upliftment. The iron-will, practical wisdom, and compassion for the suffering masses, particularly women, of Sri Sarada Devi, “Maa” to all her followers, also acts as the dominant ideology behind our VISION of uplift and empowerment of women through education.
Finally our VISION is to fulfill our patron saint Swami Vivekananda’s dream of an ideal nation steered by empowered women - self reliant, responsible, informed citizens who will act as harbingers of change. To give shape to this vision, the institution, with its legacy of leadership in the education and uplift of women, continually reaffirms its commitment to offer an academic and intellectual experience that foster independent thought and responsible action, as well as self learning and introspection.
