Yes, dear friends, innovation is a just a state of mind that helps to cross the boundaries of the world within nanoseconds in terms of novel ideas, processes, application, business models etc. When we cross our frontiers with novelty and creativity, automatically the world tends to look up to us for our insights and enlightenments. Thus we become leaders who think out of the box and not merely exist as followers of leaders.
Every person, born on this planet is unique, irreplaceable and capable in her /his own way. We are unique in terms of our pupils, thumb impression and DNA. There is no other person like you and me on this planet. Believing these notions, the Institutional Innovation Council (IIC) of our college provides an exquisite platform to explore the unique talents and capacities of our faculty and students to empower them as world class leaders in terms of their innovations and entrepreneurship.
I am happy that I am also the part of this team to help thousands and thousands of young women to become future entrepreneurs and innovators who could be brought into the limelight for their creativity and innovation in the form of startups. To facilitate this arena, our college provides wide opportunities for both teachers and students through its flexibility in academic pursuance and implementation of startup policies. I am sure this startup policy of our college will certainly enhance the budding entrepreneurs to excel in their financial empowerment.
Dear friends, the opportunity is knocking at the door of every Crossian. Let us be open and grab this opportunity and become leaders. By our very life we become torch bearers of the society who show the way to budding innovators and entrepreneurs in our locality. This is our social responsibility and commitment with which we move onward. Being successful does not matter but being significant in our own ways certainly lifts our institution to greater heights and our life becomes productive. Let us aspire for this through the IIC of our college. Wish you good luck and God’s blessings …

I am proud to be a part of a legacy of sustained academic excellence. Engaging students in research, innovation and entrepreneurship has always been a hallmark of our great institution. Following this tradition, the Institution’s Innovation Council (IIC) encourages our Crossians to actively participate in research and creative endeavours, nurturing them to become better thinkers, innovators and problem-solvers. Such initiatives help students develop a deeper understanding of their fields and sharpen their professional acumen.
Our institution offers several certificate courses, skill-based courses and value-added programmes, which a large number of students pursue alongside their degree programmes. These opportunities equip students with practical knowledge, enhance their skills and inspire them to explore entrepreneurial opportunities and become successful entrepreneurs.
Innovation in education is about much more than technology. It is about empowering students to become lifelong learners, creative thinkers and agents of positive change. It is the prime responsibility of every educational institution to promote strong values and positive character traits while fostering creativity, curiosity and innovative thinking among students. We must encourage our young minds not to fear failure, but to learn from it, persevere and strive towards excellence.
In every perspective, our students continue to surpass our expectations through their dedication, creativity and achievements.
I hope and pray that the students of our college will continue to scale greater heights, embrace new opportunities and keep the Crossian flag flying high.
With best wishes for a future filled with innovation, excellence and success.
