Dr. Rajshree R.

Greetings to All!!!
As you all are aware Kasturba Gandhi Degree and PG College for Women is synonymous with holistic education.

Our endeavor at Kasturba over the years, has always been to impart value based education by laying special emphasis not only on delivery of academic content but also providing a platform to nurture the innate talents of students through various activities like weekly assemblies, clubs, NCC, NSS, Sports etc., as we believe in the words of Aristotle – “We are what we repeatedly do, excellence then is not an act but a habit”.

Hopefully we have passed through turbulent years but it is adversity that makes one to excel and Kasturba has not retreated but has taken advantage of opportunities which were present online. Apart from delivery of academic curriculum our faculty organized webinars, conferences, competitions, counseling sessions on a regular basis to ensure students are abreast with the recent developments and ensure the pandemic is in no way an

Impediment to their progress.

While striving for academic excellence we at Kasturba have not forgotten our obligation towards society. Ethical concern and social responsibility have been a constant among Kasturbans. Government initiatives such as Swatch Bharat, Haritha Haram and societal concerns have also been addressed during the pandemic by creating awareness through videos, competitions etc.,

Michelle Obama has said “You should never view your challenges as a disadvantage. Instead, it’s important for you to understand that your experience facing and overcoming adversity is actually one of your biggest advantages.

This is reflected in excellence in academics, sports, NCC etc., consistently and this has been a hallmark of the institution.

I would like to conclude with a message especially to all my dear students. It is reflected in the poem by Iqbal –

“Khud ko kar buland itna ki har taqdir se pahle. Khuda bande se khud puchhe bta teri raza kya hai”

Keeping in line with the spirit of the poem my advice to you is – make yourself morally so strong that you can carve your own destiny.
