This report provides us an opportunity to identify ourselves in the changing scenario of education. We are trying our best to improve our innate qualities and adopting innovating ideas and skills. This is one of the youngest colleges in the area which is established in 1999-2000, after the initial struggle for infra-structure facilities, building and grants. The first step towards the quality enhancement is taken by applying for Accreditation to NAAC. We are confident that the sincere efforts put in by the staff in preparing this report will be appreciated by NAAC. The report is prepared in accordance with the guidelines of NAAC. It provides all information in accordance with the guideline provided by NAAC. This report is not possible without the contribution of teaching and non-teaching staff as well as Management.
