We are conscious of our social responsibility of providing value based education so that our young generation is well groomed to be better and cultured citizen of today and tomorrow capable enough to carry forward the message of goodwill by their deeds in whatever field of life they choose to perform and destiny places them. KRM DAV College, Nakodar since its inception in the year 1970 has continued to strive for growth and development with a bright vision for future brilliance. The process of self-appraisal and improvement has to be constant feature for any institution for its growth and maintaining credibility. Seven criterions provided by NAAC to understand and evaluate our performance have literally helped us in scrutinizing our strengths and weaknesses. We have been trying to achieve and come true to the expectations of the society as a whole with whatever limited means we have at our disposal and whatever more we can generate. Limitations are always there but quality cannot be compromised and commitment to improve upon the education standard remains constantly envisioned. We present ourselves for assessment and accreditation and reiterate our commitment to come true to the expectations from all the stake holders. We eagerly look forward to welcome the honorable members of NAAC team. Dr. Harish Kumar Sood Principal KRMDAV College, Nakodar, Dist.
