Message from the Principal
Friends! The institution has working since 1984, with cooperation from one and all. The contributions have brought closer all the stakeholders whose vibrant interactions were hitherto dormant to a variable extent.
This milestone do make us bound to have an introspection of what we achieved, where we failed, what should have been done and what needs to be done. Surely, we need to enlarge our horizon.
Dr. Patangarao Kadam Arts and Commerce College Pen is situated in the heart of Raigad District, is one of the Premier Institute of Shri Swami Vivekananda shikshan sanstha Kolhapur. “Education for propagation of Knowledge, Achievement and Culture”. Is our tempo and motto, students progress and development is our Goal. It is high time that we sustain the tempo and surge ahead towards our goals. I solicit inputs from my colleagues as well as other well wishers that will help us to construct the road map for our institution.
The dawn of the 21st century has heralded the development of India as an economic powerhouse powered by a revolution in the knowledge sector. The education sector in our country however, still lags behind even the South East Asian countries in terms of both infrastructure as well as enrolment. Yet, the existing physical as well as intellectual infrastructure has been seen to be underutilized. I think, we are yet to become an exception in this regard.I have taken Incharge for development and progress of my college and I will do it Best of my knowledge.
May God bless us.
