SHRI RAM COLLEGE OF COMMERCE Sir Shri Ram (1884-1963)

“Education is the key which is going to unlock the door to our greatness...”

Lala Shri Ram, the enigmatic visionary behind the institution, was born on April 27, 1884. The first son of Madan Mohan Lal and Chando Devi, Lala Shri Ram completed his education in Delhi. In 1909, the 25 years old Lala Shri Ram joined DCM. He possessed an analytical mind, an infinite capacity for work and a knack for human relations. During his life, Lala Shri Ram's main emphasis was on vocational, technical and women's education. As far back in 1920, he had decided to conduct the first experiment in vocation-oriented education by founding the Commercial Education Trust. The first school taken over by Commercial Education Trust was the Commercial High School. Commercial High School was raised in 1926 to the standard of an Intermediate College, in 1930 to a degree college and in 1934 to a post-graduate College. In 1942, Lala Shri Ram became the Chairman of the Governing Body of the College. By the year 1948, although comparatively young among the colleges of Delhi University, the Commercial College had the maximum enrolment possible under the University rules. In 1949, it was proposed to rename the College as 'Shri Ram College of Commerce' but it took two years to implement it due to the reticence of Lala Shri Ram. Lala Shri Ram's association with the College continued till 1962, when because of failing health, he resigned. His health continued to deteriorate and he passed away on January 11, 1963. On the death of Lala Shri Ram, Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, the then President of India said, “He was not only a great industrialist but helped many good causes. His contributions to education are memorable”.

We welcome you sir. On 91st Annual Day of the College, we must salute the foresight of our founder, Sir Shri Ram, who understood almost a century ago the role of wealth creation and management in nation building. Deep down, he realized the importance of moving a step at a time, and therefore started so modestly in 1926. That modest beginning has now brought us to this august day. When I take a cursory look at SRCC 2016-17, a notable event happened where the Hon'ble President of India, Mr.Pranab Mukherjee inaugurated the Ninety Years Celebration of the founding of Shri Ram College of Commerce at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi on February 20, 2017.The distinguished guests at the ceremony included Mr. Arun Jaitley, Union Minister for Finance & Corporate Affairs, Eminent Alumnus and Member, SRCC Governing Body, Mr. Vijay Goel, MOS for Youth Affairs & Sports, and an Eminent Alumnus, Justice Arjan K. Sikri, Supreme Court of India, & Member, SRCC Governing Body, Prof. Yogesh K. Tyagi, Vice Chancellor, University of Delhi. Speaking on the occasion, the President highlighted the importance of learning that reflects a realistic and practical approach to life in general. He noted that for decades, SRCC has met the essential requirement of connecting education to the needs of an emerging nation and also developed the livelihood and professional skills in the fields of business and economics. He also remarked that the vision of the College Founder, Sir Shri Ram, to create an institution that would train young minds to manage the needs of industry, business and economic administration has been fulfilled comprehensively. It is really proud thing for me to be associated with the College that has been accredited A+ by National Accreditation and Assessment Council. NAAC Peer Team consisting four distinguished academicians visited our College in the month of August, 2016. The process began with a presentation highlighting the features of the college followed by a video providing an overall sketch of the College and its facilities. This was followed by a presentation by Dr. RachnaJawa, Coordinator, IQACon Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) highlighting the various quality aspects of the collegeand the visit to the different functional units of the college. The visit ended with an 'exit meeting' where Chairman of the NAAC Peer team, Prof. Ashok Aima, shared his observations followed by a few suggestions for the College. SRCC has been awarded A+rating with CGPA of 3.65 out of 4 and is highest among all colleges of University of Delhi so far. I feel delighted to share that out of 7 parameters NAAC team awarded CGPA of 4 out of 4 in 3 parameters.

He also highlighted the areas of further development for

3 Annual Report 2016-17 the institution while providing a road map for the achievement for the same. This was followed by administering the pledge of excellence to the audience pledging their energies and hardwork to the achievement of the highest order of quality for the College. It gives me pleasure to note that our College in collaboration with the University of Kigali, Rwanda and Namibia University of Science and Technology, Namibia organized a two day International Conference on Advances in Business and Information Technology & Doctoral Colloquium at Kigali, Rwanda (Africa) on March 1-2, 2017, where Dr. Anil Kumar, Associate Professor, SRCC, and Conference Co-Chair delivered key note address on Corporate Governance in family business.The Conference saw participation from various countries across the globe.

The theme of the Summit was 'Future of the Millennium' which entailed speaker sessions, panel discussions, workshops and competitions centering on Entrepreneurship, Banking, Smart cities and Technology. It saw participation from over two hundred student delegates from 20+ countries and provided a platform for the future leaders to engage with each other. The summit was inaugurated by His Excellency Sheikh NahayanMabarak Al Nahayan, the Minister of Culture & Knowledge Development, UAE, along with Shri Vijay Goel, Hon'ble Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports, India. The Summit was graced by esteemed speakers like Mr. AshishThakkar,Mr. KeshavBansal, Ms. SumathiVasudev, Mr. Sanjay Kumar among others. The Chief Guest for the closing ceremony was H.E. Navdeep Singh Suri, Ambassador of India to UAE. Our College introduced few new societies namely 'Wings of Fire', 'Vittshalla', 'Atman'. The members and associates of SRCC-Wings of Fire have come up with flying colours with many getting All India Ranks in recent results of professional examinations. It organised events like 'SRCC CA Confluence' and 'Humans of CA' concept that shares the stories of individuals in the profession which provide valuable insights and inspiration. 'Vittshala' has been started with the intention of betterment of people belonging to different strata of the society. It has a dedicated team which works towards developing financially capable citizens through its projects. 'Atman: The Mind Body and Soul Club' is a spiritual initiative taken by the faculty and students of SRCC. The objective of this club is to explore, experience and practice the depth of the statement. The college has always encouraged students to have their own publications in national and international Journals and to promote this the college has launched a Student's Journal 'Strides'. It is an annual journal exclusively launched to publish academic research papers and articles of students on contemporary topics and issues. Students have always been the backbone of SRCC. Their constant efforts and perseverance has enabled SRCC to retain its position on top, thus maintaining its course to becoming the college of global choice. Be it an academic pursuit, or taking part in a beauty pageant or showing their strength in the sport arena our students have come out with flying colours. Their intelligence and hard work has enabled SRCC to retain its position on top, thus maintaining its course to becoming the College of Global Choice. Let us put our hands together for our students whose achievements we applaud with great pride. It's my great pleasure to announce that Pramod Abraham is the overall topper of the GBO Programme. RichaGoyal topped the list of M. Com. Students. GarimaBehal and Akhil Jain are the overall toppers of the B. Com (Hons.) Programme. TisharaGarg has topped the B. A. (Hons.) Economics programme overall. Some of our students have participated and presented research papers in international conferences. Indeed our students have worked very hard to keep the flag of SRCC flying high. The College is proud to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of all the student achievers. None of this would have been possible without the able guidance of the faculty in these challenging times of flux. We therefore must applaud the efforts of the faculty who have shown such remarkable adaptability and continued delivering quality knowledge in times of intense syllabi, course and scheme revisions. The College has set up an Intenal Quality Assurance Cell to enhance the best practices and quality of learning.

4 Shri Ram College of Commerce Currently the Cell is examining ways in which a switch could be made from rote learning to interactive activity based learning and to replace podium teaching with participative learning. We intend to actively move away from text book learning to research based learning, including field work, case studies, project work etc. Under the aegis of the Centre for Professional Development, the College has been conducting focused short term courses for the students. We have organized faculty development programmes, workshops, and specialized lecture sessions. We are in the process of putting in place the ground work for offering Executive Development Courses, Customised Training Programmes, Consultancies etc. The College has initiated grants for faculty research, and for publications in national and international journals. SRCC faculty and students can also avail of grants to present papers at seminars and conferences in India and abroad. The Placement Cell worked tirelessly through the year and ensured more than 300 placements at the UG level for different profiles with about 50 renowned companies it gives me great pleasure to put on record that 100% of students of the GBO programme have been placed. We applaud their efforts. Sir, at SRCC, exposing our students to industry-academia interaction has always been on priority list. Academic year 2016-17 has been a year where the College has witnessed student interaction with an extraordinary number of distinguished visitors from all walks of life. Among the notable visitors to the college were: Mr.Venkaiah Naidu, Union Minister, Government of India, Mr.KirenRijiju, Minister of State, Home Affairs, Mr. Suresh Narayanan, CMD, Nestle India Ltd., Mr.Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, Minister of State, Government of India, among others. All work and no play make Jack a dull boy. Since the College believes in imparting holistic education, sports and games are given due importance. The Men's Badminton & Chess team won the Inter College Tournaments at the University of Delhi. Not to be outdone, the women's team were placed first in Chess and Basketball Inter College Tournaments at the University of Delhi. VikasDahiya participated in Rio Olympic Games as a member of Indian Hockey Team. All sports persons of the college do deserve a big round of applause. 22 sports students of our college have participated in several national and international events. Sports in charge, Ms.KuljeetKaur won Gold Medal in 19th Asia Master Athletics Championship held in Singapore. Closer home, the College plans to pursue the formal declaration of the rigorous and demanding Post Graduate Diploma in Global Business Operations as a Masters in Business Administration programme. The College is also considering introducing management studies at the under-graduate level. We are hopeful that the University of Delhi will stand by the College in this endeavour. I thank the students' Union and the numerous Societies for their keen interest in extra-curricular activities, and their phenomenal organizational ability. I would like to place my appreciation on record for the administrative staff has also done a wonderful job of liaisioning with the University and the UGC in these times of change. Finally, a word to outgoing batch of students. You are our ambassadors. I am sure you must have noticed that SRCC gives you freedom in the true sense of the word: freedom to develop a sense of responsibility, freedom to pursue a livelihood of your choice, freedom to lead from the front, freedom to take the flak for your convictions, freedom to fall and to rise again. Along with these freedoms, the college also encourages developing a sense of tolerance; tolerance for diverse definitions of success, tolerance for cultural diversity, tolerance for innovation, and of course, tolerance for failure. This sense of freedom and tolerance, we stand together as a College of proud Indians. Our best wishes are with you. We are certain that you will touch the sky and climb every mountain that comes your way. We wish wherever you will go, you will take SRCC higher and higher with your remarkable excellence in every field that you pursue. May god bless you all.
