Table Of ContentPREFACE
St. Soldier College of Education, Jalandhar was established by St. Soldier Educational
Society, Jalandhar in 2003. St. Soldier Educational Society has its roots back to the Year
1958, when Smt. Shanta Chopra, the President of the Society started a small school in one
room with one teacher and one child. From a school with single room and single teacher
to the huge group of 27 schools, 17 Colleges and 6 National Open Schools today, the
odyssey has been fuelled by a pioneering vision, clarity of mission and rational approach.
Keeping its teaching technology in line with the trend of the times, the society is
continuously moving forward.
Mr. Anil Chopra, the Chairman of the Society is a potential force and life and soul of
St. Soldier Educational Society. His aim of life is to bring the quality education to the
door steps of the rural people. Mrs. Sangeeta Chopra, the vice-chairperson of the Society
has joined Mr. Anil Chopra in his mission to provide quality education to all sections of
the Society. Besides this Sh. S.P. Kurdukur, the former Judge of the Supreme Court of
India is the Chief-Patron of the Society and Sh. J.K. Saini, former minister Punjab and
Ex-Mayor, Jalandhar, Mrs. Sudarshan Chopra, Director Hind Samachar Group of
Newspapers are the other illustrious patrons. Under the guidelines of these patrons, St.
Soldier Educational Society is scaling the pinnacle of success and glory by serving the
Youth of the Nation fully and faithfully.
St. Soldier College of Education is a gem in the long chain of St. Soldier Institutes
which is committed to train the teachers to believe in the richness of future and a
fellowship which transcends all barriers of caste, colour, creed and countries. It is
touching new heights in the field of teacher education. The products of St. Soldier
College of Education shall effectively transmit the intellectual traditions from one
generation to another to keep the lamp of civilization burning. All our endeavours are
directed to achieve this goal.
St. Soldier College of Education is well resourced with a team of highly qualified and
experienced teachers. Other special features of the College include Psychology,
Language, Educational Technology, Science, Art Laboratories and Research and
placement cells. The evaluation and assessment by NAAC will provide us with a unique
opportunity for self-introspection and critical appraisal of our strengths and shortcomings.
The inspection by NAAC team will definitely give us an appropriate and useful insight
1
into the critical issues and direction for future growth and development.
I owe sincere gratitude to all my colleagues for cooperating with me in preparing the
entire NAAC report and to the non-teaching staff for their cooperation in this exercise. I
wish to thank all of them for their hard work they have done in this connection. I am sure
the college will continue working for pursuing the goal of excellence in quality teacher
education.
