The College is the first choice of undergraduate students seeking to gain the skills necessary for success in contemporary global business world. The focus of the Institution is on nurturing students, sharpening their skills, building their foundation of knowledge and facilitating the learning they need to take their career to the highest level and to cultivate the practice of looking beyond oneself for sustainable happiness. The College epitomises the philosophy embedded in the divine words of Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore. "The highest education is that which does not merely give us information but makes our life in harmony with all existence." -Rabindranath Tagore Students take a leap from information to transformation with the help of a Guru whereas a teacher impacts knowledge and fills his students with more data. At SRCC, the faculty acts as Guru to completely transform the pupils by developing their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual abilities so that they become balanced human beings and look beyond themselves. We believe that the greatest legacy one can pass on to the learners is not only the ability to acquire money or other material things to be accumulated in life but rather a legacy of character and faith. SRCC is a place where skills and passion coincide with the needs of the world. As the price of financial success is mounting day by day, the wholesome development of the students is a necessity to face real life situations. The College imparts values like truthfulness, honesty, compassion and responsibility. 'SRITES' tend to discover new and innovative solutions and are not averse to risk. The College is famous for its quality education and rigor of its academic programmes and a conducive environment for co-curriculars and extra-curriculars that transforms the students and empowers them to release their full potential. It is the conviction of the College that the learning of the students is both within and outside the classroom. Therefore, a rich array of opportunities is provided to students to develop their leadership and organisation skills. A liberal environment under a caring guidance ensures that talents are identified and developed to the core. The College is known for its physical facilities. The campus is beautifully adorned with green lawns, a heritage building, state-of-the-art classrooms, a resourceful library, sports complex, swimming pool, a health care unit and physiotherapy centre. The SRCC fraternity has successfully strived over the years for achieving excellence. The College, in existence, represents the exuberant synergy of its teaching and non-teaching staff who perform their duties with dedication, passion and commitment. In the years ahead, SHRI RAM COLLEGE OF COMMERCE Page ii SRCC will continue to uphold the legacy of its reputation in India and will aim to be one of the best global institution for academics. The Self-Study Report represents the manifestation of the ideals and efforts of the College on its orientation towards quality and service. It has been an inward looking exercise which will yield impetus to the growth and development of the College.
