In 2019, a pioneering step was taken with the establishment of the Department of Defence and Strategic Studies, making us the trailblazers in offering this course under the esteemed affiliation of Bharathidasan University. Our primary objective has always been to make quality education accessible to the economically disadvantaged and the middle-class segment of society.
Our program is not merely academic; it’s a holistic journey that goes beyond traditional boundaries. We take pride in preparing our students for the challenges they may face, be it in civil services or in serving our nation in various defence capacities. We understand the importance of a well-rounded education, and thus, our students undergo comprehensive training, both physically and intellectually.
The uniqueness of our approach lies in providing training for written tests alongside physical fitness, self-defense, yoga, and personality development. We believe in shaping individuals who not only understand international relations, economics, and political science but are also equipped with the physical and mental resilience required for the diverse challenges that may come their way.
Defence Studies, a focal point of our curriculum, delves into the intricacies of military systems and national security. Our course is meticulously crafted to instill an understanding of defence strategies and management among civilians who aspire to serve our nation in various defence roles. From geopolitics to military geography, defence economics, and nuclear policies, our students undergo a comprehensive study that prepares them for the dynamic landscape of national security.
In a testament to our commitment to holistic development, we proudly announce the introduction of a new course in 2021—8(TN) Battalion NCC, Kumbakonam. This addition exemplifies our dedication to nurturing well-rounded individuals, instilling not only knowledge but also a sense of discipline and patriotism.
As we stride into the future, we continue to be a beacon of education that not only imparts knowledge but shapes individuals ready to contribute meaningfully to the defense and strategic landscape of our nation. Join us on this transformative journey where education meets purpose, and aspirations meet achievement.
