Principal's Message

From the Principal's Desk

Dear students,
Greetings from Dogra College of Education.
Education is not about studying, Education is about learning. I am extremely happy to be the Principal of Dogra College of Education, a prestigious institute in the city of temples, Jammu. I am proud as it is NAAC accredited, ISO 9001: 2008 Certified and recognized by U.G.C under section 2(f) of the UGC Act, 1956 college. It is amongst one of the best college within the University of Jammu. A good teacher enables a student to understand, whereas a great teacher enables a student to realize. It is only when students go through the circle of studying, understanding and realizing, they become good professionals and great human beings. In Dogra College of Education, we take immense pride in the fact that our students receive the highest quality of education. This is facilitated by paying utmost importance to teaching quality and practical learning. Our excellence is not just confined to the classroom; we are also notably active in conducting conferences, workshops, seminars, guest lectures and other co-curricular activities. These activities expose students to aspects beyond the curriculum, thus adding value to their professional success. Students should be imparted an all round education so that they become multi-dimensional rather than uni-dimensional. Empowerment of students for all round development through education is our cherished motto. Today education means much more than merely acquiring knowledge. It is acquisition of knowledge and skills, building character and improving employability of our young talent, the future leadership. Our Academic Record has been outstanding since the inception of the institution. Besides bagging top positions in the University Annual Examination Result, our students have set a track record of top positions as is evident from the following data :- First Position among all the B.Ed Colleges of the Jammu University twice (Session 1995-96, 2006-07). Ten positions among top twenty positions thrice session 1997-98, 1998-99 and 2008-09.

Moreover the college has a commendable record of very high pass percentage every year with maximum number of 1st Divisions in both theory as well as in Practice of Teaching in the Annual University Examination Result. I am proud of being the Principal of such a wonderful institute dedicated to the causes of better India through education and their real empowerment. Come on let's give our best and make this institute a modern temple of learning through our diligence, devotion and dedication.

I strongly believe in the concept that:- "Moral and values based Education leads to all round development". My whole hearted wishes and thanks to all the user of our college website.
