For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29: 11.
With belief in the above verse I welcome all of you to Wilson College, an Autonomous Institution that rests on a strong academic foundation of 190 years, blended with a modern approach that seeks to mould learners into successful constructive citizens.
Leading the College since 25th September 2018, I feel privileged to see a vibrant College that offers extensive opportunities while retaining its ethos, culture and compassionate approach.
The onset of pandemic in March 2020 threw new challenges that compelled us to push our limits of strength and perseverance; yet, it was equally demanding to return to the offline mode.
I can proudly say that Wilson College staff embraced this transition with courage and vigour as they prepared for a smooth change from the online to offline mode.
The seamless shift ensured that student’s welfare remained primary and the same is exhibited in the successful examination results across all disciplines.
The most important achievement during this transition has been fulfilment of the dream of autonomy for the institution. With immense joy and satisfaction, I share with you that this dream has been realised in October 2021.
Treading consciously with a long term vision of excellence, the entire Wilson team from College Management members and staff started preparations to meet the challenges of autonomy from the academic year 2022-2023. Statutory committees, Governing body, Finance Committee, Academic Council and Board of Studies of various disciplines were formed and successful outcomes of these meetings have made us confident of the opportunities of launching innovative programs and progressive applied syllabus framing, making the Wilson brand globally competitive.
The B.Voc. in Theatre and Stage Craft is an example of the unique program that Wilson has been offering to the student community. Apart from this course, many departments conducted various certificate courses for students’ enrichment and up gradation of skills. This year we have added three new certificate courses in the field forensic science, German language and Information Technology to our repertoire and also MA in English as the first PG program in Arts stream.
We, at Wilson believe in converting challenges into opportunities.
The hard work put in by the science departments during pandemic in preparing and submitting the proposal to Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Government of India under the DBT Star College program was rewarded by The Expert Committee who recommended it for a grant the tune of 1 crore. On the research front the college has been progressing steadily. Sixteen staff members who were awarded minor research projects from BCUD have completed and submitted the same in spite of pandemic and more teachers have been recognised as research guides.
The College Management regularly upkeeps its infrastructure and recently, a small gymnasium with modern equipment, a renovated conference room for seminars/Board meetings have been formed. Many activities related to physical health, emotional health, sports and other such developments are also being encouraged. The NSS wing of Wilson College too contributed in bagging the First Prize to team Maharashtra at NIC Camp Rajasthan. For the first time, our students participated in University level Avishkar and were successful in getting second prize for undergraduates and consolation prize for post-graduate students.
At 54th youth festival of University of Mumbai, our students could bag three prizes as toppers in Zone 1 level and second prize at University level in elocution competition.
A proud moment this year for all Wilsonians was when the College received ‘The Best College Award’ in the urban category for the academic year 2019-20 by The University of Mumbai.
This award is dedicated to all those who have played a vital role in making the institution what it is today.
The Vision and Mission of the College is reflected in providing intellectually challenging environment that will empower students to become inventive thinkers, resourceful problem solvers and motivated learners prepared to flourish in the 21st Century. The College ethos lies in maintaining high standards and goals for every student in regard to academic concert, co-curricular involvement and accountable citizenship.
I believe in the potential of the staff and students of the Wilson family and with faith in the Almighty am sure that Wilson will scale new heights in the days to come.
