NAAC Reaccreditation Report - Pillai College of Arts, Commerce ...

Harnessing of youth power is critically important for India on its growth path to
become a global power. We have done our mite in contributing to the pool of youth power by
providing the right skill-sets and the environment to unleash their potential. We have made
substantial investments to provide infrastructure matching global standards and extensive
efforts have been made for international development of the Institution through various
international workshops and training programmes.
On the academic front, our results show that we continue to maintain high standards of
excellence. Our students have made us proud by ranking in the University of Mumbai Merit
List. In the area of sports we have reached the Sixth Rank in University of Mumbai (2007-08)
on the basis of points scored in various inter-collegiate tournaments conducted by University
of Mumbai. Our college magazine ëSpectrumí received the ìProf. Chandgadkar Trophyî
for the ìBest College Magazineî in the inter-collegiate magazine competition organized by
Podar College, in the years 2006-07, 2007-08 and 2008-09. The highlight of Spectrum is that,
it carries a social message and this aspect in particular has been appreciated. We have a
Research Forum and a centralized Research Centre; ëPillaiís Research Instituteí for M.E.S.,
to encourage research related activities amongst staff and students.
Our aim is to transcend beyond the narrow confines of academic education and
embrace the contemporary dimensions of educating in totality. We are confident that our
institution will set new benchmarks of performance and surpass them in the years ahead.
