The months that have gone by have put us on a higher pedestal of achievement in all spheres of college curriculum and extra curriculum. The students, members of the staff and faculty have been working with great determination and diligence as we believe in scaling one peak after another, for the march towards excellence which never comes to an end. As you go through this issue of Saraansh you will realize that the COERians are soaring high in every field.

Message from Director General

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal, It is the courage to continue that counts”.

Dear COERians,

The size of your accomplishments, the quality of your achievement will depend very largely on how big and successful man you see in yourself, what sort of image you get of your possible self, yourself at your best. Always remember that achievement is not always success, while reputed failure often is. It is honest endeavor, persistent effort to do the best possible under any and all circumstances. If you take responsibility for yourself you will develop a hunger to accomplish your dreams. Believe me, there will be no one who can stop you to accomplish positive goals of your life. Someone has rightly said “Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty… I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well.” So live your life with all possible efforts and do your level best because "The Light shines more brightly in the darkness.”
