Lokmaata Rani Rashmoni’s vision of heaving of standard of life of people through education is the resonating influence that is deep-rooted within the core principles of this university. She believed that knowledge, when coupled with social awareness, has the power to transform individuals and uplift communities. In alignment with her exemplary ideals, this university aspires to create a holistic and all-embracing  educational environment, that will promote the blooming of innovations and emergence of future leaders.

Apart from all, special and remarkable contribution of Rani Rashmoni lies in establishing "The Dakshineswar Kali Temple" which later gained extreme prominence as the "Sadhan-Kshetra' of Thakur Shri Shri Ramkrishna Paramhansa Dev and being adored as a holi pilgrimage of humankind. We find similar spirit to be reverberated in the expressions of Rabindranath Tagore,

হে মোর চিত্ত, পুণ্য তীর্থে জাগোরে ধীরে −
এই ভারতের মহামানবের সাগরতীরে ꠱

[O my spirit, in sacred pilgrimage Awake! Arise! In steady calm- Around this shore of India's great men.]

.............

হেথা একদিন বিরামবিহীন মহা ওংকারধ্বনি,
হৃদয়তন্ত্রে একের মন্ত্রে উঠেছিল রনরনি।

[One day here only, That relentless magnificent rhymes of OM Inside chords of every heart, In one mantra that only unites, Echoed and reverberated so mystic, so coherent ! ]

………..

সেই সাধনার সে আরাধনার    যজ্ঞশালায় খোলা আজি দ্বার,
হেথায় সবারে হবে মিলিবারে আনতশিরে −
এই ভারতের মহামানবের সাগরতীরে ꠱

[That austere, that arduous sincere prayer  The door is open today of that holy fire, Here all will have to mingle with ardent humble desire, Around this shore of India's great men.]

 

Rani Rashmoni Green University is poised to become a modern institution for higher learning and research, while embracing the essence of a Green University. At a time when the world is grappling with ecological challenges, this university will be  committed for viable growth, environmental consciousness, and ingenious research. The academic curriculum, infrastructural design, and campus practices will be in purposeful agreement with the ideals of a greener and more sustainable future.

This university will foster an essence of inquiry, discovery, and inclusive learning. The convergence of modern sciences, technology, humanities, and environmental responsibilities will be pivotal in building the backbone of the all-round educational system. It would be the goal of the university to transform the students into leaders - equipped to address both academic and global challenges with confidence and compassion. Inspired by the noble ideals of Rani Rashmoni, the priority would also be in steering motivation towards academic excellence along with encouraging a strong bond with the community. Together, the aim is to initiate a harmonious balance between human aspirations and environmental preservation by virtue of academic perseverance.

I welcome all students, scholars, and visionaries to be a part of this incredible journey.

"सा विद्या या विमुक्तये"
(True education liberates the mind and soul)

I look forward to witnessing the growth of this university and the success of its students in the pursuit of knowledge and reaching excellence.

Let us join the mission, tread with ambition, and keep alive the pioneering spirit of Rani Rashmoni in building a future that would reflect progress, sustainability, and the timeless wisdom of our Indian traditions.
