Principal's Message

Our social landscape is fast changing – with booming nuclear families, lifestyles migrating towards western-urban trends, and multiplying ambitious actions, the challenges in choosing a proper educational philosophy for your child becomes heightened. All parents consider their child(ren) as their treasure. The problems that are usually found with parenting trends in UG education are that the parents exercise no dominance on their children, especially after the Covid-19 digital advent. While ‘controlling’ is a negative term, some amount of healthy supervision is vitally essential even at this stage because the children admitted for UG though sometimes display an amazing level of maturity in some areas, could also be highly immature in some areas concerning life.

The age group of children usually admitted for UG is roughly between 17-22 years - whom we call ‘young adults’. Most of these young adults till the completion of their PUC/ XII are nurtured and brought up in very protective environments by their caring parents. Hence, some children lack practicality in life skills including mature response mechanisms to a lot of detrimental outside-exposure.

If you are a parent who is worried about your child’s safety, which includes ragging issues, gender sensitisation issues, drug issues, etc. let me reassure you that Sharada College is a safe place for your child. In line with the UGC directives and management policies the institution has zero tolerance towards these things. If you are a parent who wants your child to be self-reliant, then our residential facility is your best choice. We provide not just academic nurturing but practical hands-on sessions to help them in their life skills including the very basics. To know more about this, I welcome you to our lush green sprawling campus and talk to me. At Sharada, it is not only about the marks on the cards but about being physically and mentally active, and to achieve this goal, we give equal importance to sports and arts.

Whether a disciplined environment is needed for UG education or not is another debated topic in higher education. However, the lack of discipline amounts to the over-exploitation of resources, and an exaggerated sense of conceitedness. We at Sharada believe in the holistic development of our students. Traditionally as per the Indian educational philosophy, we believe that a student should be educated about everything, which includes health, hygiene, basics of agriculture, management, organisation, etc., including the other academic subjects so that it develops the student holistically. We practically implement it in our college. Our ideology is the nationalist ideology - it is the responsibility of each and every student of this nation to contribute to nation building and the progress of this great nation for global acclaim. Hence, we continuously strive to give our students sessions in entrepreneurship (start-ups included) and innovation by motivating them to participate in hackathon challenges and boot camps. Moreover, we regularly conduct industry- academia sessions, and invited-talks by eminent personalities belonging to different walks of life. Personalised coaching and personal attention is another speciality of ours that we offer. Internships and placements are the best in the industry at UG level. Choose from a wide range of professional UG programmes and courses that are available at our college today.

Our students are our brand ambassadors displaying excellent cognitive development. moral integrity, national ideals and innovative practices for a sustainable future. Together with your cooperation we will be able to carry this mission forward in an even better way. Let us together mould a generation, which is physically, mentally, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually healthy and thereby give wings to the dreams of our great leaders, predecessors and contemporaries.

I welcome you all to join hands to take our noble intent up further and to take this institution to greater heights. Together, let us achieve great success!
