State the Vision and Mission of the institution
VISION
The progress of a nation requires that its people should be educated. Knowledge is necessity
of man. It instils in him a desire to question and to investigate, which leads him in the path of
progress. Education, in the broadest sense, must be spread everywhere. Progress can only be
achieved by the spread of education. Cooperation is necessary to achieve any worthy end, and
this readiness to cooperate will not be found in a people if they are not educated.
