    FROM CHAIRPERSON’S DESK

    Dear Teachers, Students and Staff,

    Foremost I would like to extend my warm-hearted congratulations to everyone for their

    commendable work which has made us to secure the 16th position in the NIRF rankings. I would

    further like to urge all to move ahead with similar coordination, determination, focus and

    teamwork to reach newer heights. The aim is not just to reach the top position in India but also to

    be counted within renowned Colleges at a global level. Let us all synchronize our rhythm and

    buckle up for the same.

    I would also like to remind you to stay safe during the current challenging times. Until the cure

    is found, taking precautionary steps is the key to one’s good health. ‘Prevention is always better

    than Cure’. COVID-19 has changed our approach to education and has pushed us to adapt

    accordingly. ‘Verily with Hardships comes Ease’ and indeed, these tough times have helped us

    prepare better for the upcoming technological advances. Instead of focusing on the uncertainties,

    we must embrace this change and gear up for facing the challenges. This will also help us in

    devising the methodologies that will be useful in the long run. Digitisation of the Education

    System, which might have taken longer to get into the mainstream has now become the New

    Normal. The Future is here and it’s here to stay.

    Wishing you all Good Luck.
