Our Motto
“Vidya Dadati Vinayam”
The motto ‘Vidya dadati vinayam’ enshrined in the emblem of the college is a part of the Sanskrit shloka taken from the ‘Hitopadesha’ that reads as:
विद्या ददाति विनयं विनयाद् याति पात्रताम् ।
पात्रत्वात् धनम् आप्नोति धनाद् धर्मं ततः सुखम् ॥
It means “Knowledge makes one humble, humility begets worthiness, worthiness creates wealth and enrichment, enrichment leads to right conduct, and right conduct brings contentment.”
Translated literally, VIDYA means ‘knowledge’, DADATI means ‘gives or imparts’, and VINAYAM means ‘humility’. But at deeper level Vidya is both knowledge and power. It has inherent values as well as utility for life; it is illuminating and enlightening. It demands disciplined devotion to the pursuit of Truth. It develops in its votaries an attitude of tolerance, open-mindedness, freedom from prejudice, and a penchant for new ideas. To succeed in life, first and foremost, what we need is Vidya; and in the absence of humility, reverence for ideas, grace and nobility at heart, we cannot be knowledgeable in the real sense of the term. Therefore, to lead a life full of contentment, we need to acquire knowledge (Vidya) first.
