PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE

Education helps in harnessing one’s latent potential to the maximum. Consequently, the individual does not develop alone. Society, nation and at times humanity, all benefit from education. Following promulgation of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, educational framework of the Nation is all set for a paradigm shift and better outcome. NEP 2020 desires to develop good human beings capable of rational thought and action, possessing compassion, empathy, courage, resilience and, scientific temper. This policy envisions an education system rooted in Indian ethos where high-quality education can make India a global knowledge superpower, develop among the students a deep sense of respect towards the Fundamental Duties, Constitutional values, understanding of sustainable development and living and, global well being.

In its 40 years of existence, K. C. Das Commerce College has been able to carve out a respectable forte for itself, by virtue of dedicated and persistent hard work of all the stakeholders, particularly the teachers.

Education in K. C. Das Commerce College is not only restricted to classrooms and the prescribed curriculum. Our endeavour is to facilitate the students with an environment that enables them to identify their latent talents in both scholastic and co-scholastic domains. Academically, students are exposed to different modes of learning through industrial exposures, field works, guest lectures, seminars, skill based workshops, webinars and interaction with entrepreneurs and experts from the corporate world.

Our motto is 'To strive, to seek, to learn and not to yield'. I invite all the bright minds to explore the scope that our College can offer. “Aano bhadra krtavo yantu vishwatah” : ‘Let noble thoughts come from all directions.’ This profound conception from the ‘Rigveda’ illustrates the recognition of limitless learning in the Vedic Period. We desire and work hard to create a similar learning environment. Our dream is to develop K.C. Das Commerce College into a nationally renowned multidisciplinary institution of knowledge. We are determined to achieve our goals and I welcome you to be a part of our TEAM.
