“Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today!"

It is an enduring tradition to take time to pause, turn around to look at the fruitful year gone by, achieving both the expected and the unexpected, while setting various milestones and then synergizing ourselves to move ahead to face the challenges in the coming year with a positive attitude. We thank the Almighty God for all the blessings bestowed upon us year after year, especially during the academic year 2021-2022.
With great pleasure here we present, in a nutshell, the highlights of the past academic year 2021-2022.
