From the Desk of Director

The Department of Life Long Learning, was established in 1985, with a thrust on poverty alleviation, equal status to women and self employment. The Department plans, co-ordinates and implements the programmes for the benefit of society under the non-formal system of education and has been serving the weaker sections of the society in the remote areas by the way of providing vocational education to the youth enabling them to be financially independent through skill enhancement, by carrying out the various outreach activities.

The Department has been nurturing talent and creativity, committed to serve people from all spheres of society. At our Department we aspire to provide sustainable environment, ideal for research, innovation, entrepreneurship and top quality education to all, with a well-balanced and relevant curriculum. We aim to empower and uplift each section of society through education and to contribute back to the environment by adapting and promoting eco-friendly practices. We believe that to build superior professionals require strong work ethics, and empowering the world with futuristic minds, through hard work, dedication and innovation. We educate our students to maximize their innate potential and enhance their skills along with positive social behaviour, thus developing them as global citizens. The Department has highly skilled faculty in their respective fields of expertise.
