These words by Franklin D. Roosevelt perfectly describe our aim at Rajiv Gandhi College. Beyond providing a sound education, we wish to provide our students a holistic learning experience for life. Our aim is to teach students to LEARN, not just STUDY. Hence, we strive to travel beyond the boundaries of mere books. We have realized that the future is abstract and unknown but the youth in our hands are real and can be moulded. The Student of RGC is taught to always "Look up", i.e. to look up to God for help, strength and reassurance in toils, trails, temptation and troubles. "Lift up" means that every RGCian, be it students or teachers, have to set for themselves high standards, goals and aspirations in every sphere of life. RGC is a premier educational institution that provides a platform for nurturing talent by stimulating them to pursue excellence. The college has made consistent progress year by year in academic and curricular activities. In RGC, we uphold traditional values and at the same time adopt contemporary infrastructure and pedagogies. The College promises to provide an exciting learning experience of a lifetime & no stone will be left unturned in this endeavour. To achieve this, we expect to receive tremendous self-motivation on the part of all concerned, which will be fulfilling both for the students as well as faculty. With the primary objective of providing quality education to all, RGC makes special efforts to enable and facilitate learning among the students belonging to the underprivileged sections. The college ensures that special classes - Remedial as well as Spoken English are held on continuous basis for the students who have difficulty in coping with the demands of the curriculum. We, at RGC, understand our responsibility towards conserving environment and thus take certain environment friendly initiatives such as conducting Green Audit of its campus. The College nurtures and offers a unique space for social transformation and is committed to enlighten students to go together and shape minds to think critically and analytically. The RGC community is constantly sensitizing all pertinent issues. The learning process includes lectures, seminars, workshops, power-point presentations and conferences to acclimatize the students and create academic environment to grow. At RGC we believe that each student is special and has the potential to excel in many different ways. Then the touchstone of all our programmes is active engagement that nurtures individual talent. We impart formal education with a difference even as we work within the constraints of a traditional university system. Through carefully crafted interaction and activities within and outside the classroom, we provide experiences that help the student discover innate capabilities, set life-long goals and proactively work towards their fulfilment. Life at RGC, however, is not just an academic fire-wall. At any time, the campus remains suffused with vibrant energy as the entire community revels in the creative pursuit of extra-curricular activities with equal vigour.
