Education plays a key role in the overall development of society. The role of education is definitely not limited to giving and grasping knowledge and theory. The true goal of education transcends much beyond just awarding degree and certificate to the students. As Ellen G. White said, "True education is the all-round development of Mental, Physical, Social, and Spiritual aspects of an individual.” With this in mind, The college strongly believes in the wholesome growth of its students and provides them with every opportunity and facility to exploit their talent.
SDA Degree College not only focuses on the theoretical curriculum but also help in the development of a student’s personality, extra-curricular activities and overall perspective. Everything that makes a good institution is - a highly trained faculty, rich library, teaching through interactive methods, liberty to think and express themselves - we have it here.
I firmly believe that SDA Arts & Science College is more than just a place to learn. It gives you a chance to grow by equipping with everything you need to achieve excellence through various thought-provoking activities. As quoted by John Holt, “Learning is not the product of teaching. Learning is the product of the activity of learners.” With an experienced and dedicated staff and faculty and excellent infrastructure, our college helps students to realize their goals in life.
I encourage all the students to take advantage of the opportunities provided by the college and involve yourselves in all the extracurricular activities that are offered. Hard work, dedication and perseverance are the most important traits in a person that lead to success. The future belongs to you. Therefore, prepare yourselves for active participation in the world.
I wish you God’s blessings as you continue your journey of pursuing higher education at our Degree College.
With Best Wishes
