"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step"

As I pen down my vision, dream and hopes for our new academic venture, I look back at the stalwarts of the HSNC Board who have left behind a legacy in their journey, and I am filled with awe. How did they effortlessly set up such edifices of education that - even today - stand mute testimony of their devotion!

Today as we take a historic step together towards our new HSNC University, I feel humbled and confident at the same time! Humbled for I take the weight of expectations on my shoulders but confident for I have the support of the entire staff, the vision inherited from our ancestors and above all an honest intention to make sure that our HSNC University will offer an environment that fosters competitiveness, creative thinking and innovation.

In the years to come the HSNC University will prove to be a giant leap for students and teachers. And this venture of ours has been possible only because of the higher education reforms of RUSA - the Rashtriya Uchater Shikshan Abhyan which as we all know is an apex body under the Ministry of Human Resources, Govt. of India and the Govt. of Maharashtra. Full credit to RUSA for the radical initiative to bring in Cluster University, to overcome the lacunae in the existing university system. It is a step in the right direction to steer India towards greater Global academic standards and eventually towards economic independence.
