We know teachers are not only the universal provider of useful information but also the social engineer. The teacher can design, build, maintain, control, contrive, society & profession is the professional ethics of teacher. The teacher should leave no stone unturned to transmit this ideology to the young generation.

Quality teaching is the urgent need of the hour. Quality teaching can definitely assure skilled life. Skill does not only mean doing something well, in wider sense it signifies well adjustment, earning love and faith, accountability, close relationship.

Our college, since its inception, has been taking utmost care in producing quality and proficient teachers. We are always looking for the best system in teaching learning process.

I am happy to say that pass percentage in the examination is improving. I am proud that all of our teachers are quite motivated and energetic.

We visualize establishing this institution as a centre of excellence for teacher’s training.

To realise our vision we stress to:-
