Vision & Mission

Our Vision :

The vision of this very young institution is to serve our society by empowering women. We strongly believe that education is power, and true education is not confined within only syllabus and degree. For us, information is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom; true knowledge enables a person to look beyond here and now. This ‘looking beyond here and now’ is the basic tenet of sustainability, which is the need of the hour at present. Keeping sustainability as a goal we want to impart that education to our students which will enable them to become complete human beings and true global citizens. A complete human being, according to our vision, is one who is both aware of her rights and duties. On the one hand we sensitize our students regarding their legal rights, constitutional rights, their rights to have an environment which is free from all kinds of discrimination, free from ragging and sexual harassment. On the other hand, we make them aware of their various duties; duties towards themselves which includes determination to be financially independent, their duties towards other persons, towards her country, towards her environment and above all towards the whole nature. And the person who is dutiful towards the whole nature treats everything and everyone as the part of one nature, forgetting the geographical and political boundaries, and thus becomes a true global citizen. Being deeply rooted into our own culture, we want to imbibe into our students the ideal set by Rabindranath Tagore: “Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high; Where knowledge is free; Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls…” It is our sincere hope that when our students go out of our institution after completion of their courses they go out as knowledgeable, skillful, self-reliant, imbibed with moral values and in this way, we dream of ushering in heaven on earth in this country, as envisaged by Tagore.

Our Mission :

With the above-mentioned vision, we have the following mission.

  • The first and foremost thing is to create a proper teaching- learning environment in the institution which is the main purpose of an educational institution. In order to do this, teachers prepare a time-table and teaching plans, then share these with the students. The Head of the Institution has the duty to look after the whole teaching-learning process, whether the teachers are taking classes regularly according to the time-table, whether the students are attending classes regularly, She also has the duty to check whether the syllabuses are being covered, whether the internal assessments are being conducted properly, and whether the parents are happy with the progress of their ward. Along with the IQAC she must monitor the mapping of Programme Outcome and Course Outcome.
  • The second mission is to look after the betterment of the faculty members by sending them to attend refresher courses and faculty development programmes, and also to different workshops and seminars to keep them updated on current affairs and modern technologies. It is also the duty of the Head of the Institution to encourage the teachers to do research, to enroll for Ph.D, and to take up research projects.
  • The third most important mission is to create and maintain a safe and secure environment in the institution for all stake holders, which is ragging free, sexual harassment free and free from any kind of discriminations and grievances.
  • As students are the hearts of any educational institution, our most important mission is to look after their all round development. Along with their studies we have to encourage their other aptitudes like creative writing, skills in performing arts, athletic ability etc. We have to ensure their progression to higher studies or to salaried services or to some entrepreneurship. And most importantly we have to imbibe a proper value system into them.
  • Over and above the missions already stated we always remember that environmental sustainability is the need of the hour, and accordingly our other most important mission is to make and maintain our college campus as ‘green campus’ and work relentlessly towards sustainability.

Officer-in-Charge., Sister Nibedita Governmemt General Degree College for Girls

Sister Nibedita Governmemt General Degree College for Girls is a new addition in the map of women education of Bengal. This college is situated in Hastings House, whose vast campus has already been a hub of women education; as it had a higher secondary school for girls, two teacher training colleges and an institute for physical education for women. The only thing the campus lacked was a general degree college for girls, which was fulfilled by the establishment of our college.

Affiliated to the University of Calcutta this young institution aspires to be a strong source of women empowerment.
