From Principal’s Desk

Dear Friends- Students and Faculty,

Thus far and no further! Nothing shall stop us; besides rampant Coronavirus pandemic impacting every sphere of human activities across the globe without any selection, without any exception since last TWO years! Our Institution- Professor Sambhajirao Kadam College, is all set to undergo the THIRD Cycle of NAAC exercise by the close of 2021! We are already in NAAC mode, rather in its leg as the institute is fully geared up and prepared for it. We always set high goals and strive to attain it with strenuous efforts leaving no stone unturned. As a matter of fact, we as the institution seldom lost sight from the elements of NAAC exercise over these five preceding years.

Be it an individual or the institution, at some point of time, one has to challenge the limits. It is this time, which calls for challenging the limits and rise up to the occasion. The NAAC process offers by default everyone, each institutional functionary to prove his/her metal!

In the inspiring words of Peoples’ President, late Dr A P J Abdul Kalam, I am reminded of, “that, each institute is characterised by some or other kind of significant practices that stand out as a symbol of best practices”. Which for, Professor Sambhajirao Kadam College stand out as a symbol of best practice/s?

I must say, that there are several significant attainments on this count; that certainly portray the institutional distinctiveness in its character, its functions, in its progression.

If it is to count, the Faculty of Science has reached to Third year B. Sc. Now, the institute has attained full-fledged status offering degree programmes in Arts, Commerce and Science, Bachelor of Vocation (B. Voc) in Food Processing Technology in its second year. Offering self-designed Professional Skills Development modular programmes in the emerging fields of International Trade and GST Laws that offer enormous rewarding career opportunities has indeed created a distinct identity for the institute. A raising of NCC unit- a long awaited dream, has come true. The much acclaimed in public domain, unique of its kind, our ongoing ISR project- Rain Water Harvesting and Bore well Recharge has been extended to one more village, taking the tally to three. Towards the consolidation on Institutional Green practices, Biogas, STP, Vermiculture and vermicomposting plants- all environmentally sustainable projects have now become the reality! Given this, can’t we say that the Professor Sambhajirao Kadam College standout as a symbol of best practice/s?

Apart, continuous augmentation of facilities like well-equipped Gymnasium, Laboratories, a beautiful webinar hall, broadcasting studio, campus makeover, so and so forth, have all added to the academic ambience, creating a vibrant ecosystem.

Nothing stopped us. Neither did the Corona impacted perilous situation. On the contrary, turning the adversaries into opportunities, we continued to function, deliver, excel, innovate with a focus of engaging the students, adopting mix of online/offline mode simultaneously, deploying YouTube channel, virtual platforms, switching over to online mode of communication, induction of IT enabled process, reaching out to every student, bringing library services under 24X7 remote access.

Who does all this? “But, the Deity is a necessary hypothesis”, Mathematician Laplace said once! Blessings from Goddess Mudhaidevi, visionary Trustees, and the dedicated ‘Team PSKCD’, having our students at the epicentre, have all made it happen!

From the ‘Bird’s Eye view’, PSKCD Canvas appears quite promising in its entirety. We, as the institute, have certainly an edge; poised and positioned distinctly. The best is, however, yet to come, I believe, and I also believe in its inept potential!

With academic greetings! –

Dr B N Bhosale,

Principal
