Vision

At Dakshin Barasat in South 24 Parganas, Dhruba Chand Halder College unfolds a vision of its own, giving priority to the needs, aspirations and spirit of the local inhabitants. Though "education" is our main "mantra", we do not encourage mere book-learning and writing examination papers. Our dream is to deliver value-based education, which, in the long run, makes "real men and women" (a concept initiated by Swamiji), and not just money making individuals. For this, the college fosters acts of kindness, service and sacrifice in the students. We envisage a kind of education that would help young learners realize their inner strength and potentialities and know their own selves inside out – "Bear no hatred, sow the seeds of love and friendship," is the message we send out to our students, so that we can contribute, though in a small way, to the formation of a better society.

Mission

The Key-word in our mission-statement is "march ahead", i.e. progress in all fields, like agriculture and industry. This is possible only through education, which also, can dispel all kinds of inner darkness, ushering in bright light. One common prayer here, to quote Milton is "What in me is dark – illumine". The illuminated soul inspires the physical body to strive untiringly for perfection, in all endeavours. "Enlightenment" and Empowerment" – the two ideals followed here, aim at making our students knowledgeable as well as suitable for jobs in the larger world. Thus, the vision of a "Complete man" is incorporated in our mission statement, giving a distance place to our institution.

IMPLEMENTATION

Keeping the Vision and Mission of our college in mind, the management has prioritized the concept of education for the aspiring and needy students of the area. The students here, hail from all strata of society and the number of girl students attending college is appreciable. This commensurates with the  view of "inclusiveness", imparting education to all.
As a positive step towards "all round education/development", the authorities have emphasized on the extensive practice of sports and games, as these are conducive to camaraderie and sportsmanship, which, in turn, help in fostering unity among the student community. "Beauty" and "Safety", the two attributes associated with the "Green Campus", are given due importance in the college. The lush green campus, with trees all around and water-bodies inside, offer a beautiful picture to all the stake-holders, and, at the same time, foster ecological balance. Many measures are followed to keep the campus free from pollution and litter. To extend higher educational facilities mainly to the students of this college and the other neighbouring colleges, Dhruba Chand Halder College has been running two distance education centres, affiliated to Rabindra Bharati and Netaji Subhash Open Universities, since the last decade. The goal is to make this college emerge as one of the key institutions in South 24 parganas, catering mainly to the poor and the needy, making them worthy human beings in society.
