Mission

Majority students enrolled in this College are from the socially and economically backward adivasi-tribal population as well as extremely poor families of farmers and landless peasants. For years together, not a single member of such families has been formally educated. The admitted students in this College, therefore, have several difficulties to comprehend multi-disciplines in the different faculties. As the majority students of the tribal families have absolutely zero academic background, to educate such students is a big challenge and the teaching faculty of the college has to confront it with all its might – intellectual, mental and physical.

Vision

To serve the noble cause of spreading higher education in the area of economically and socially backward population and where the adivasi, tribal inhabit in majority.
