Core Values
Our institution is fully aware that throughout the world, higher education institutions are functioning in a dynamic environment. In India also, the institutions of higher education are facing many challenges and are undergoing significant changes from time to time. Moreover, as there is a need to expand the system of higher education, the impact of technology on the educational delivery, the increasing private participation in higher education and the impact of globalization (including liberal cross-border and trans-border educational imperatives), this have necessitated such marked changes in the Indian higher education scenario.

Inculcating Value System In the Students
Although skill development is crucial to the success of students in the job market, skills are of less value in the absence of appropriate value systems. So we know that we being a law institution have to shoulder the responsibility of inculcating the desirable value systems amongst the students. In a country like India, with cultural pluralities and diversities, it is essential that students imbibe the appropriate values commensurate with social, cultural, economic and environmental realities, at the local, national and universal levels. Whatever be the pluralities and diversities that exist in the country, there is no scope for debate about inculcating the core universal values like truth and righteousness apart from other values emphasized in the various policy documents of the country. We know that the seeds of values sown in the early stages of education, mostly aimed at cooperation and mutual understanding, have to be reiterated and re-emphasized, through appropriate learning experiences and opportunities. Therefore, we are taken efforts to inculcate these essential and desirable values in the students of our institution as given below –

These are the units indoctrinates the value system to make the students good and moral citizens.

At a time when our institution is expected to perform at par with our global partners, significant technological innovations have to be adopted by us. Traditional methods of delivering higher education have become less motivating to the large number of students who are basically from the rural area of Ahmednagar District. To keep pace with the developments in other spheres of human endeavor, our institution has to enrich the learning experiences among the students by providing them with State of the Art educational technologies. We know that the campus community must be adequately prepared to make use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) optimally. Conscious efforts are also taken by us to invest in hardware, and to orient the faculty suitably.
