Core value of the University

Named after Pandit Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, the 19th century messiah of social and educational reform in Bengal, this university engages in an unrelenting endeavour to realize the goals and objectives he has set for the country’s progress. We esteem the uncompromising grit and fortitude with which he strove to overcome the hurdles on the path to progress.

This university believes in holistic progress of students through right education and attainment of right knowledge. Education, knowledge and progress is a composite leitmotif that governs the activities and plans of this varsity. We focus on an organic fusion of curricular and extra-curricular activities, the substantial part of which is based primarily on the principles of moral uplift and ethical dispensation. We take special care in addressing both the material and spiritual needs of the students. In the process the educators are advised to upgrade themselves in a manner that takes care not only of the disciplinary progress of the students but also the psychological and mental health of the learners. The care givers are taught regularly by the best specialists in respective disciplines and also by trained psychologists. The students are given adequate scope to develop their bodies and minds by inspiring them to engage in sports and athletic activities along with subject based learning and research pursuits. The university takes care in sustainable development and considers the environment as one of the major planks for security and holistic development of the whole institution.

We also believe in auto-learning so that the students here are encouraged to learn from experience gained both in formal and informal settings. They are motivated to appraise the formative benefits that they reap from everyday experiences. We intend them to grow to become independent learners faster than the average student of this country. Our motivational programmes steer clear of any discriminatory practices and focus on creating more convenient space for the development of less privileged and differently-abled learners. Above all, we believe in an everlasting process of reforming ourselves and to that effect look forward to formative advices and suggestions from anyone who happens to visit this site and our sacred premises. Your good wishes will act as grist in our endeavour to make this planet a better place to live in.
