Principal's Message
Education today is a multifaceted powerhouse to empower the youth to sharpen their potential
and make inspirational advancement into excellence through a successful career that beckons
them. Opportunities are fleeting and an empowered student, fully prepared, needs to achieve it at
the earliest. Educational institutes need to produce professionals of high calibre equipped with
optimal expertise to meet the multidimensional challenges posed by the current scenario. Since
its inception in 1917, Sri Jai Narain Misra PG College is contributing to the holistic development
of the society by empowering the youth with quality education and nurturing their potential to
serve the society with utmost devotion. We, as Grade ‘A’ institution, accredited by NAAC in the
year 2015, have set our goal to acquire excellence in teaching and research by adopting the
pedagogy of inculcating human values among the students, following the guidelines of National
Education Policy 2020. Expression of thoughts with a positive attitude, originality in ideas, faith
in hard work, sense of responsibility and compassion for the deprived section of society are the
proem of the institution in addition to the academic curricula, this we aim to achieve with the
coordinated efforts of students, teachers, non-teaching staff and all the stakeholders of the institution.
