A homogenous cluster of 10 to 15 colleges within an area fostering inter- institutional co-operation for overall development of all of them is the basic principle behind the concept of the ‘Lead College’. The concept is based on the belief, “Efforts of each and welfare of all”. Our mission is to make our colleges and the institutions of HE (Higher Education) achieve nationally and internationally acceptable standards.

A Lead College functions with the motto, “Efforts of each and welfare of all”. Following are some of the guidelines that are helpful to define the role of a Lead College.
1) Avoiding course duplication within the cluster.
2) A Lead College should have all the necessary information about the HE system and the changes that take place in this regard.
3) Designing Research Projects/ Educational activities with mutual co-operation with other colleges. The joint efforts make such programmes successful and thus the aim of quality assurance is achieved.
4) Collective actions/ programmes with respect to NSS, NCC and sports activities.
5) Encouragement to Vocational Courses.
6) Organization of students’ cultural activities.
7) Organizing international collaboration. Here national / international Seminars, workshops / Conferences can be arranged with collaborative efforts.
