The education system in India dates back to ancient times when children were taught in Gurukuls. The Guru taught according to the child's interest, subjects varying from Sanskrit to the Holy Scriptures and Mathematics to Metaphysics. The educational requirements of today are very different from those of the past because of increasing competition and the advancement of science and technology. The students must be prepared with the skills required to face future challenges. They can do it effortlessly if we can make the surrounding stimulating and purposeful. Considering the changing trends in academics, research and innovation, the education sector is witnessing a massive change and it is necessary to 'accept the change'. The effective use of technology or a blended teaching and learning approach has now become a norm.
Belda College happily combines sound academic accomplishment with an extensive, vivacious co-curricular programme that includes sports and leadership training. Our mission is to teach the love of knowledge to our students. For this, we intend to develop the skills and demeanor of lifelong 'learning,' essential for making responsible and accountable global citizens. This will make them immensely capable of facing the future with resilience and optimism. On a deeper level, we instill the values of respect and trust in relationships that are the foundation of real success.
