Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in man. We want that education, by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, the intellect is expanded, and by which one can stand on one’s own feet. The end of all education, all training, should be man-making. The end and aim of all training is to make the man grow. The training, by which the current and expression of will are brought under control and become fruitful, is called education.

Education in India has undergone a sea change in a very short span of time. After commencement of the Choice-Based Credit System, institutions of Higher Education in West Bengal are ready to begin their journey with multilayer and multi-exit education framework under the aegis of the National Education Policy 2020. With emerging skills, technologies and newer professional avenues, this institution is ever ready to embrace any policy of education for the benefit of the youths, as NEP2020.
Located in the South-eastern fringe of Kolkata, the Sammilani Mahavidyalaya is well connected by suburban train, metro rail and a national highway – all within 2 – 5 min walking distance. Bestowed with this locational advantage, this institution offers most advanced and largely sought for courses affiliated to the University of Calcutta. There are state of the art laboratories, ICT-enabled digital classrooms, WiFi for the students, a spacious central and open access library that houses around 25000 textbooks, reference books, journals, magazines and periodicals, in-house reading facilities, computer centres and other facilities quintessential for disseminating knowledge and skills for higher education of global standards.
The faculty members – comprising of experienced, energetic and sincere teachers – blend traditional teaching-learning methodologies with the modern technologies and equipment for delivering their lessons and developing all-round skills among the students. Interactive teaching-learning methods using media-centre and ICT have become the norm at this Mahavidyalaya. Personal attention is given to each and every student through mentoring by the teachers for their professional and personal well-being.
It has always been our belief that every student has an unending pool of talent that needs to be fostered. A proper care and guidance always help the students to develop right attitude, values and practices that enable each and every student to excel in future. Therefore, in addition to offering regular courses, the Mahavidyalaya takes care such that our students are well established in life just after completing graduation. Career Advancement Cell offers different add-on and certificate courses, organises seminar and workshop, campus drive to enable our students get employment just after graduation. Many reputed companies come over to college to select competent students for job.
The main goal of an institute of higher education is to transform the human population into human resources by providing with quality education. We believe ‘Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all’. In tune with the famous line of Aristotle and in the pursuit of developing human resource, Sammilani Mahavidyalaya supplements value education with updated and contemporary undergraduate courses, encourages an environment for nurturing creativity and innovation to liberate the minds of young people. Ample avenues for personality grooming of the students through National Service Scheme, sports and games, cultural programmes and various extracurricular activities are offered.
I’m confident that we, with the support of the Governing Body and Department of Higher Education, Government of West Bengal, will continue to grow, prosper and reach new heights. Since the Mahavidyalaya is committed to fulfil students’ aspiration and build their self-esteemed, I assure you that no stone will be left unturned in realizing the long cherished goal as an institution of Higher Education.
