Academy of Architecture, to assist the employed young men and women to undergo articulated training in Architecture.

EDUCATION AT RACHANA SANSAD

Education is a process of imparting knowledge or skill, through systematic instruction or teaching. But the aim of education is complete only when those who receive this gamut of information and skill, absorb it in their function and contribution. Any information conveyed become knowledge only when it is tasted and experienced. This requires discipline, effort and opportunity.

The philosophy of education at Rachana is provide education that enables students to be successful in their professions and lives, by inculcating and experiencing discipline, respect, motivation and joy in learning.

This process of education is always in league with the times, contemporary changes, new reaches, demands and needs of the hour. Updating standards of teaching and positive validation is a constant here. The education here is not only a college experience, but interaction with professionals and learning from their experience and achievements is a norm.

Student- teacher relation is interactive and friendly. Students are offered aesthetic, secure, caring and intellectual environment where they are encouraged to participate actively in their own learning. They are given freedom and opportunities to experience their success and joy of achievement.
