‘Though academic setups are expected to bring out the relentless competitive spirit in learners and teachers, the mechanism ideally should entail in the process our victory over our own minds.

Ensuring a pristine academic work space and environment, where it is more about taking over one’s own limitations and unsureness, and not just overtaking a fellow competitor in a degenerating rat-race, is the job of a principal.

That way actors will strive perfection in a world studded with daunting odds in individual spheres. This so much more fits into the scape of Kunja Bihari College – often labeled “in the margins”!

In a time of highly developed, friendly technological advancements that guarantee parity in information dissemination, I drop this label for the institution where I have taken over as the Head this July. Let, for all of us here, nestled in a sylvan nature, away from the madding crowd, the limelight, competition be a healthy virtue; because, selfless competition helps mankind evolve.’
