Dear Students

It is indeed a matter of great pleasure to welcome all of you in the auspices of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, an organization with luminous history spanning across eight decades. Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan College (BVB College) Delhi Kendra is the latest landmark in the untiring journey of Bhavan providing quality education to Indian society across levels and disciplines.

In the words of Ben Sasse ‘An institution of higher education is a partnership among students and alumni, faculty and administrators, donors and trustees, neighbourhoods and more, to build a community – and a culture’. BVB as an institution thoroughly believes in the idea and would like to take it further ‘to shape future academicians, practitioners and citizens of our country to become independent and responsible thinkers’. In consonance with Bhavan’s ideology of revitalizing ancient values and reintegrating them to suit the changing needs of modern times, the college endeavours to provide the best kind of futuristic learning experiences to our students, which are rooted in the multi- cultural ethos of our society so that they are able to assimilate whatever is good in the new, without being swept away from their traditional moorings. The focus must be on each one becoming a life-long learner. Learning never stops and should never stop. I would like to quote Abigail Adams,“Learning is not attained by chance; it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence”. Acquisition of degrees and certificates should never be the aim; in today’s ever-changing times Learning to Learn, Unlearn and Relearn and the skills required to keep oneself abreast and ahead of times.

Therefore, it is imperative that an institution of higher education has to orient their students in such a way that they are able to recognise their own talents and potentialities; and they are able to give these a positive direction for fulfillment of their personal as well as societal, professional and national needs. Students passing out of here would not be merely professional degree holders but will be institutions in themselves.

Wishing each one of you All the Best !!!
