Institutes of Higher Education (IHE’s) must take into account two important objectives- equity
and wide access. Keeping this objective in mind, the college is providing skill based quality education
to a large section of the under-served section of women. Approximately 1500 girls are enrolled in the
college and out of these a sizeable number of students belong to the marginalized section having little or
no access to higher education. The college thus considers its primary duty to remain accessible to all. It
has maintained an exceptionally nominal fee structure. The motto of the college is – To hear the
unheard.
Education is meaningless if it does not uplift communities and provide them viable avenues of
sustainable development. The Computer Centre of the College addresses the latest IT demands of the
faculty and students. It also runs a Value Hub in collaboration with UPTEC where CCC and Tally
courses are fully functional. PGDCA and DCA courses have been sanctioned by the Centre of
Computer Education, S.A. The college has a Digitized Library providing a range of services to support
teaching and learning. The library provides access to both print and non-print resources through its
digitized services. Teachers and students can search the print resources with the help of Online Public
Access Catalogue (OPAC). Non-print resources like digitized books and links to open and access e-
resources are available. The library has also subscribed the N-LIST service to provide a user with a
wide variety of e-books and e-journals. The College is well linked with NCPUL and U.P. Urdu
Academy and two (02) career enhancement courses have been financially sponsored by U.P. Urdu
Academy to the College, viz. – Urdu Coaching and Urdu Calligraphy.
The N.S.S. acts as an important auxiliary unit of the College. Three units of N.S.S. are
functional and N.S.S. volunteers extend fruitful services to the society through various activities. With
the pious intention of increasing knowledge database, the college regularly holds seminars, workshops,
training programmes and special lectures. These academic programmes not only provide intellectual
stimulation to staff and students but it has also generated awareness amidst the minority community as
visible patterns of change are fast emerging in the adjoining locales. Thus, while serving the minority
community the college is also serving the society in full earnestness. We hope in times to come it will
enhance its quality and enlarge its horizons.
