Dear Friend,
Thank you for
your interest in Gargi College. I am often asked by the media what
has contributed to the recent meteoric growth in popularity of this
college. If I had to answer this question in one sentence, I would
say, “It is the collective vision of this college which is
extremely progressive, quick to embrace change and modernity, and
always striving to maximize opportunities for its students to develop
a rich personality.” The college has a highly qualified faculty,
which imparts quality education in the classroom and also tirelessly
engage in offering multifarious forums for personality development.
From cultural
events to intellectual seminars, from socially sensitizing programmes
to enhancing aesthetic sensibility, the college has a rich fare
to suit all types. The following pages in the prospectus will offer
a glimpse of our diversity. We believe in a judicious mix of freedom
and discipline. And, above all, we believe in women's empowerment,
true to the legacy of Gargi, one of the early
woman scholars of India, mentioned in the Upanishads and
who was men's equal in all branches of knowledge.
The University Grants Commission has granted to Gargi College the
title 'Centre with Potential for Excellence'. Of course we
have already crossed several milestones of excellence in our academic
and extra-curricular performances. The title is a recognition on
another plane, which is, the endeavour of the college to engage
in advanced research and socially purposeful projects over and above
regular college events. Nine departments of the college are currently
pursuing the route of research, discussions or interactions with
society towards goals that will bring in, small perhaps, but vital
changes in our socio-economic and ecological environment. We invite
our students to share in this excitement.
India is still by no means an affluent nation. Poverty is still
rampant. Students should remember that higher education in our country
is heavily subsidised. Fees do not account for even a tenth of the
annual budgeted expenses of running the college. Hence we welcome
only those students, who show promise of commitment and responsibility
towards self-development as well as image-building of Gargi College
and who will have, at the end of three years, deserved the precious
money that the government will be spending on them.
I wish you all the best in your efforts to obtain admission in the
institute of your choice.
