Centre for Holistic Development

2018-2019

SLC is very sensitive towards societal changes and thus, under the leadership of its Principal,

Prof. Rabi Narayan Kar, the College has established a Centre for Holistic Development (CHD),

in the year 2016, for ensuring a balanced development of our students. The Principal felt a

strong need to establish this Centre because in today's scenario, where one is witness to a

widespread degeneration of human values (principles, standards, convictions, and beliefs), it is

our moral duty to groom these young scholars, enriching them with empathy and moral

consciousness so that they become the torch bearers of the "Human Values" movement. This

Centre focuses on developing and imparting holistic education to our students to make them

ethically strong. This would make them responsible citizens.

The Centre is led by Dr. Ruchika Ramakrishnan, Convenor with the invaluable support from

its Faculty Team Members- Dr. Usha Kashyap, Ms. Niti Agarwal, Ms. Adithi, Ms. Poonam,

Ms. Pooja, Ms. Swati, Ms. Sumanjeet, Ms. Neha and Ms. Shaista; and its Student Team

Members- Divyanshi Jain (Team Leader), Archit Anand ( Team Leader), Mohit Sethi, Jyotika

Maroo, Gaurav Thapliyal, Shubham Aggarwal, Shivam Gupta, Nisha Jain, Nikita Mittal, Tanay

Maheshwari, Kirti Jain, Bharti Ahuja, Gauri Malhotra, Prince Mehta, Tanisha, Himanshu,

Suraj, Siddharth Mishra, Harshita Jaiswal and Nishtha.
