6. Governance, Leadership and Management

6.1 State the Vision and Mission of the institution

Bhavan‟s Hazarimal Somani College of Arts & Science, Shri Manubhai Maneklal Sheth Junior

College of Arts & Science and Shri Jayaramdas Patel College of Commerce & Management

Studies, falls under the umbrella of the prestigious Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, an internationally

acclaimed institution, having its spread both within the country and outside, and therefore

reminisces with pride on the teachings and principles of its Founder President Kulapati Dr. K.

M Munshi.

To quote Munshiji “The value of education lies in cultivating all the faculties of the student

and and making him fit for the eventualities and relation of life. Unfortunately the Universities

lay down the content of our education. We cannot change it by voluntary effort. We can only

change its method, spirit and goal”

True knowledge demands an alert curiosity. Our vision is to help students to be educable

rather than educated. We should have a well-integrated personality which can learn and

adapt itself to ever changing environment.

As the scriptures rightly say:

‘Where there is no vision, the people shall perish’

VASUDHAVA KHUTUMBAKAM

„The World is one Family‟

Our motto is:

Aa No Bhadraahkratavoyantuvishwatah

‘Let Noble Thoughts Prevail’

The Mission Statement of the College is:

„AMRUTAM TU VIDYA‟ __ “KNOWLEDGE IS NECTAR”

This appears on the Emblem at the entrance, as well as in all our college documents.

The goals and objectives emphasize the building of an all-round personality of the

student.

This will carry him from the cradle to the grave. It will provide him with the fundamentals of

education; build a strong foundation with ethical, cultural, spiritual & literary values. Thus he

will be educated and trained so as to survive in the world with its rapidly changing technology.

At the entry level, in the Principal‟s Address, the students and their parents are given a full

background of Munshiji‟s teachings, as also the goals objectives of the institution. A series of


cultural events are organized throughout the year and at every event, be it intra-college, inter-

college, state level, national level or international level, the Bhavan‟s prayers, encompassing

the objectives, are recited before the commencement of a function.

managed. At the apex of our organisation structure is the Principal, who is assisted by 2

Vice Principals of the Degree College. Since we also have a Junior College, there is a
