Dear Students and Parents,

“Learning gives Creativity, Creativity leads to Thinking, Thinking provides Knowledge and Knowledge makes you Great”- A. P. J Abdul Kalam

It is with great pleasure that I extend a warm welcome to everyone for the forthcoming academic year at S. B. B. alias Appasaheb Jedhe College, where our commitment lies in fostering promising futures. As we embark on this new year, I am filled with great pride to share that we have adopted the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 for the First & Second Year (F.Y. & S.Y) program as well as PG programs. This innovative policy marks the beginning of a new learning journey, highlighting the importance of holistic growth, critical analysis, and practical skills.

Our College which is administered under the umbrella of Shri Shivaji Maratha Society, we prioritize inclusivity as a core value. We wholeheartedly embrace the philosophy of "Bahujan Hitay, Bahujan Sukhay" and strive to empower students from all backgrounds to tap into their maximum potential. Despite their socio-economic circumstances, we create a nurturing and enriching environment that enables students to thrive in their chosen field.

Here's an overview of what you can expect at our esteemed institution:

• Personalized Mentoring and Support: Our devoted faculty and staff are here to offer the assistance and encouragement necessary for you to navigate your academic path successfully. We are dedicated to cultivating a close-knit community where you can comfortably seek help and achieve your aspirations. Additionally, we provide psychological counselling for our students.
• Skill Development Programs and Credit-Based Learning: In addition to academics, we present a variety of skill development initiatives aimed at boosting student’s employability and prepare them for successful careers. These programs, along with workshops focused on soft and life skills, will furnish them with the essential tools to thrive in the professional landscape.
• Holistic Growth Through Extracurricular Activities: We recognise that education transcends the classroom. To address student’s diverse interests, we offer an array of extracurricular activities, projects, exhibitions, cultural events, industrial visits, and academic competitions. These experiences allow students to display their abilities, unleash their creativity, and collaborate with their peers in an inclusive setting. We also encourage participation in sports activities, promoting a healthy competitive spirit and enhancing physical well-being.
• Fostering Civic Responsibility: Our active NSS and NCC units create opportunities for students to contribute to society and positively influence the world around them. Through community service efforts, students will cultivate a sense of social responsibility and grow into well-rounded individuals.
• Upcoming Academic Courses: Our academic offerings continue to grow. We are pleased to offer a diverse range of programs including Master of Computer Science (MCS), Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (B. Sc-IT), Master of Arts in English (MA-English), Master of Arts in Economics (MA-Economics) and a Diploma Course in Geography (GIS and Remote Sensing) in addition to our existing programs. These courses are designed to meet contemporary academic standards while providing flexibility and depth for specialization.

At Appasaheb Jedhe College, our mission is to empower students to think critically, act ethically and grow intellectually. With the implementation of NEP 2020 and the expansion of our academic portfolio, we are confident that each student will find the resources and encouragement they need to pursue their goals. We assure all parents that the transition to NEP 2020 which will open new pathways for interdisciplinary education, will be a seamless journey for all the students with us.

Welcome to Appasaheb Jedhe College! Where education meets empowerment and potential transforms into success. We eagerly anticipate embarking on this journey together and assisting you in shaping a successful future
