Message

“While educating the minds of our youth, we must not forget to educate their heart”

– Dalai Lama

The purpose of education, as embodied by Hukum Singh Bora Government Degree College, Someshwar is to shape young minds into socially conscious and financially independent individuals with a keen sense of purpose. We are not only focused on offering a multitude of opportunities to our students but also supporting them in their journey to self discovery. We encourage our students to explore their capabilities through various curricular and extra curricular activities that are offered on campus. This is essential to equip these young minds with skills necessary to thrive in the real world and wade through challenges with an ability to lead and empower. We believe education starts at home and thus parents form an integral part of a child’s holistic education. Keeping this in mind, we ensure that we stay in constant touch with all the guardians and encourage them to actively participate in their child’s journey. We keep them apprised of their child’s development and performance through regular correspondence and dialogues. We are grateful for the amalgamation of our experience and competent teachers, supported by our dedicated management and support staff, with an excellent infrastructure. I encourage our students to take advantage of all the offered amenities and leverage a plethora of offered opportunities. The overall development of the mind and body is a sign of a healthy and complete development. With this, I would like to specifically address our students and prospective students – the future belongs to you and therefore it is on you to prepare yourself by seeking opportunities and right guidance. we are here to support you and guide you as we see you mature into responsible and morally upright members of our society. Work smarter and harder as you embark on a lifetime of adventure! Wishing you all the best!

With warm wishes, Dr. Hema Prasad Principal
