Discourses by revered Swamijis, Ambajisand learned thinkers to promote the "Habit of Positive Way of Thinking" by inculcating beliefs and moral values in the sub-conscious minds of the faculty. Apart from the value education classes our college strives to imbibethe students with the highest set of morals and values through discourses on Ramayana and Mahabharata once in a month. Spiritual discourses are arranged on the occasions of Lighting Ceremony and Graduation day. Civic Responsibilities are taught to embed the moral and ethical values in the hearts of girl children, who are the mothers of the younger generation of future.
  • Daily routine starts with a common prayer. During the most powerful hymn Gayathri Mantra, Upanishad, Bhagavad Gita and LalithaSahastranamam are chanted by our students to increase the mental and physical health of the students. Practice of prayer intensifies and trains us to center ourselves in our relationships with the divine. The day ends by chanting Shanthi prayer.

Lighting Ceremony is a unique principle and practice adhered here for the students. It is practiced by our institution every year for final year UG and PG students. On that day the students show their gratitude to Guru by chanting Guru Shuthi and Upanishad. The metal alloy lamp is presented to each student on that occasion. The lamp represents that every student should shine in future and she should light the candle of knowledge for others with the concept of dissemination and unfolding. The students arrange the lamp which is in their hand around Kuthuvizhakku on the maakolam which is drawn in front of the students and stage.
