"Knowledge Enlightens” is the motto of our college. We at Vidya Bhavan believe in wisdom must enhance the knowledge imparted so that it is put to enlightened use. We are certain that knowledge is power and that power entails responsibility- ours and that of our students. Our responsibility is to channelize the energy, the talent of our students and to mould their character and attitudes towards making them well adjusted, balanced, sensible and wise individuals, responsible and responding to the wider needs of family, society and country, capable of facing the challenges that are ahead of them.
In this scramble for admissions, our focus on students with a lower percentage has borne fruit, in that our persistent efforts to foster academic and extra-curricular interests and to shape the students’ character and attitude has led to better performance and even merit. This has resulted in a better opportunity for the students to find better employment opportunities and make a valuable contribution towards the society.
The college is very particular about the discipline and attendance of our students and enforces strict regulations to ensure that the students imbibe the right values and approach towards life. We conduct internal examinations and notify the results to parents. In addition, we also notify the parents about the student's attendance in the college. Parents of errant students are called to the college for informing them of their wards’ behaviour.
Academic excellence without social responsibility becomes meaningless and counterproductive. Social awareness is developed in students through the syllabus content as well as through workshops and outreach or exposure programmes conducted for the benefit of the students, thus inculcating in them a desire to serve the less privileged.
We build inter-religious understanding, dialogue and awareness through prayer services, lectures, openness to all faiths and cultures.
Being small in size our speciality is the personalized approach we have towards our staff and students.
We have a close communication and contact within the Vidya Bhavan family. The teachers know students by their name and this imparts a strong sense of belonging and loyalty to the institution. Our teachers are always approachable to the students to help solve their personal or academic difficulties. Our college provides counselling to students with problems, helping them verbalise their problems, frustration, disappointments with a view to seeking solutions and coping with difficulties, as well as preparing them for their career and making the right decisions in life.
An employment cell for our students and ex-students encourages independence and the earn- while-you-learn attitude.
Thus, our vision has been realized to go beyond the self-centered, enabling the students and teachers to look both inward and outward and embrace the needs of the wider and changing society.
