Insignia

The College Insignia reflects the untiring efforts of the Institution to spread the light of knowledge in the society. CHARAIVETI CHARAIVETI (चरैवेति चरैवेति) – Move on, Move on, an aphorism from the Aitareya Brahmana, is our guiding spirit.

An insignia a derivative from the Latin insignia, plural of insigne, is an official sign or mark that shows that provides a unique identity to a particular institution, organization or group. Insignias can be a powerful tool because it grabs attention, makes a strong first impression, is the foundation of the identity, is memorable, separates an institution, organisation or group from the competition and fosters loyalty among people associated with that particular institution or organisation or group.
