Welcome to St. Vincent's College of Commerce

SVC Motto

The College strives to make its humble contribution to dispel the darkness that surrounds our lives, its origin, be it ignorance, material deprivation or religious biotry. No doubt, this an enterprise greater than ourselves and wider than our institutions. The college motto has been inspired by the following verse from Brihandaranyaka Upanishad:

Asato ma sadgamaya
Tamaso ma jyotirgamaya
Mrutorma amrutamgamaya

From the unreal lead me to the real;
From the darkness lead me to light;
From death lead me to immortality.

From Vedic times it has been our great religious tradition that God is regarded as man's true inner light. By adopting this ancient dream of our land in our motto we are pledging ourselves not to keep this light hidden within us, not to be shy about it, but to let it shine forth in our actions so as to illumine the path of many around us. By a sense of our duty to our teaching profession, by our fidelity to rules and regulations, by our commitment to a spirit of service to our fellowmen, more specially the poor, the ignorant and downtrodden, we with to spell out this motto in our lives. This implies a greater insertion into the community around us, developing a sensitivity to problems affecting our countrymen especially the poor, the illiterate and downtrodden.
