Printer-friendly versionSend to friendPDF version

We need to appreciate, recognize and reward students who imbibe the universal values of integrity, respect, compassion and sacrifice, team-work and dignity of labour etc. being taught at our College. Swami Vivekananda said:

Let every man and woman and child, without respect of caste or birth, weakness or strength, hear and learn that behind the strong and the weak, behind the high and the low, behind every one, there is that Infinite Soul, assuring the infinite possibility and the infinite capacity of all to become great and good.
 
Let us proclaim to every soul: Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached. Arise, awake! Awake from this hypnotism of weakness. None is really weak; the soul is infinite, omnipotent and omniscient. Stand up, assert yourself, proclaim the God within you, do not deny Him! De-hypnotise yourselves.

Teach yourselves, teach every one his real nature, call upon the sleeping soul and see how it awakens. Power will come, glory will come, goodness will come, purity will come and everything that is excellent will come when this sleeping soul is roused to self-conscious activity.
 
Thus the College places great emphasis on it ideal of "Man-making, Character-building education." To give this aspect of education its due importance the Swami Vivekananda Human Excellence Award scheme has been instituted at the College.
The scheme is briefly as follows: The students are observed and assessed on the following criteria by the class teacher every month on a prescribed assessment form:
