From the Principal's Desk
I extend a warm welcome to all on behalf of Vivekananda Mission Mahavidyalaya. Established in 1968, it is an esteemed higher education institute situated at Haldia region of Purba Medinipur district in the state of West Bengal. The institute is engaged in dedicating itself to provide holistic education to its students for building responsible citizens of India.
Swami Vivekananda preached that education must aim at fostering the innate perfection and enabling its expression. He also believed that education must focus on preparing individuals who would be strong in mind and body, conscious of their duties and responsibilities, and who would willingly take the path of righteousness. Founded by Vivekananda Mission Ashrama, Vivekananda Mission Mahavidyalaya has been working on these goals and it is one of the most trusted higher education institutions today in this district.
Our college offers both undergraduate and postgraduate courses in various subjects in regular mode under the affiliation of Vidyasagar University. It also has a study centre of Netaji Subhas Open University which also offers both undergraduate and postgraduate courses in distance education mode. The college provides valuable extension services through its NCC and NSS units as a part of its social work. Field excursions, sports & cultural competitions, educational tours are regularly arranged. Our college has continuously achieved remarkable success in sports at the university level, particularly in Kabaddi and Kho-Kho.
Our academic record is also pretty enviable. Our students have regularly secured good marks and ranks in university examinations. For the last few years, the success rate has been almost hundred percent. Rate of progression to higher education is also quite high considering the socio-economic conditions of the locality. For its academic and comprehensive performance, the college has been accredited Grade ‘B’ by NAAC (National Assessment and Accreditation Council). SAAC (State Assessment and Accreditation Council) also assessed the college in 2009 and 2013 and allotted funds for further development.
With time, the college has taken adequate steps towards digitization of campus by building the associated infrastructure and extending digital facilities to the students. The KOHA enabled Central Library provide access to NLIST (from INFLIBNET) wherefrom they can access national and international journals and books. The Central Library of Vidyasagar University can also be accessed by our students and faculty members. The departments also have individual libraries. The college regularly publishes annual magazine, departmental wall-magazines and webzines. Separate hostel facilities for boys and girls are available to enable students from remote areas to pursue their goals in education.
During the trying times of COVID-19, the entire college worked relentlessly to get back to our normal routine through regularly conducted classes, webinars, cultural and extra-curricular activities in the online mode. Our institution practices regular mentor-mentee interactions so that every student can convey his/her problems to the authority for immediate solution.
Overall, the college boasts of a peaceful, secured environment conducive for studies. The serene ethos of our college has been achieved by the tireless efforts of our teachers, non-teaching staff, and other associates.
Wishing all the best to our students,
Dr. Manabendra Sahu
