The vision of this college is to impart education and knowledge at all levels of the society which was the main aim of our founder Sir Surendranath Banerjee, a great a patriot of Indian freedom movement and a great educationist cum politician of pre-independence India. Keeping with the legacy of our founder the College is committed to imparting, sustaining and fostering all-round holistic and quality education to the students coming from every stratum of the society so that they gather knowledge as well as employable expertise and grow up as responsible global citizens of tomorrow. The institution envisages evolving, improving, upgrading and remaining committed to its laurels of heritage in conformity with the immortal words of the Upanishada, namely “Damyata” or Restraint, “Datta” or Charity and “Dayaddhyam” or non-violence, and also with modern outlook to make the college a centre of excellence for higher education and research. The vision of our college is to build up a sound human resource base of this state and to attain the status of a model evening college in the eastern region of India.

All of us are familiar with the most familiar Sanskrit phrase “Chhatranam adhyanang tapoh”. Taking inspiration from the maxim our mission is to provide a through ethical and aesthetic foundation to the character of our students. Going beyond formal pedagogy we wish to develop our college a model human resources centre in eastern region of India, which would no churn out students but built human beings who are much humble yet with bold confident. Thus our motto “Vidya dadati vinyanang.” These are the common features of our nurtured student during 3 years of study. Surendtanath Evening College vows to attain the objectives of a true model evening college in West Bengal.

Keeping the above view, the mission of the college is to inculcate love of knowledge and provide holistic education to the student coming from every stratum of the society, so that they emerge as true human beings who can make significant contribution as a responsible citizen of tomorrow.
