The Vision of the institute is “To nurture leaders and social change agents across strata of society through holistic and transformative academic programmes aligned with national priorities and global needs.”
The mission of the institute is “to facilitate the development of innovative, ethical, futuristic leaders, managers and entrepreneurs, rooted in Indian values and capable of harnessing change in a globalized, digital and competitive environment.”
The Institute believes that the prosperity of communities is integral to the success of organizations, so social responsibility is high on the agenda. In order to create social change agents, the institute walks the talk by proactively being a change agent in furthering the diverse causes aligned to the national priority & thrust areas. Several activities and initiatives are also in sync with the global sustainable development goals.
Students belonging to every social class, community, linguistic group, state and region seek admission at the institute. Several students are first generation learners in their families. The institute believes that education should not be denied because of the reasons like poverty and that every effort must be made to spread the benefits of higher education to the underprivileged and the marginalized sections for their upliftment. It also strives to facilitate the development of young learners in an ethical manner. This is inline with national goals of equity, access and increasing gross enrollment ratio.
Therefore, the institute provides higher educational opportunity to deserving, needy and meritorious students from all sections of the society. In addition to the statutory scholarships offered by the Government, variety of scholarships and schemes are offered by the institute to such students.
Merit based scholarships ranging from 10% to 20% of course fees are offered to meritorious students based on their scores at X, XII and Graduation levels.
Being a Jain minority Institute, in addition to minority scholarship offered by the government, 25% scholarships are also offered to needy & eligible Jain & other minority students, by the institute. As a part of the loyalty programme and to promote higher education amongst Suryadatta students, special scholarships are awarded to students who have pursued their Bachelor’s degree from Suryadatta Group of Institutes.
The institute offers a scholarship to students of economically weaker section, affected by natural calamities such as flood etc. In order to support economically weaker students who have lost their parents due to Covid 19 pandemic, the institute offers special scholarships.
Suryadatta Education Foundation, as a part of its Edu-socio Connect initiative and Corporate Social Responsibility has announced scholarships of upto 100% of fees for various needy and deserving categories of students in order to encourage them to pursue post-graduate education. These include children of different NGOs, Hamal Panchayat, Swachh employees, construction workers and other low income groups.
In order to encourage students with work experience to pursue management education as a career progression pathway, scholarships ranging from 10% to 50% are offered.
Scholarship of 10% of course fees are offered for Defense, War Veterans and Police Wards.
Students need to apply for availing this scholarship along with required documents. Thus, the Institute has made multiple efforts to promote and contribute to bring social change.
Beyond facilitating the education of the key stakeholder viz the student by providing the scholarships as outlined above, the institute is also aware of the need of addressing social responsibility with respect to multiple external stakeholders who are not directly connected with the institute. Nevertheless, the Edu-socio initiatives for such extra mural stakeholders span variety of stakeholder benefits in terms of livelihood, health, sanitation, education etc.
Members of the Suryadatta faculty taught rural women hand needlework, fashion design, ladies' clothing, and other skills. The institute also provided poor and worthy pupils from remote areas with educational materials.
The institute also supplied blankets to the local mental hospital, trained rural women, gave out sewing machines, and organized Mahila Self Help Groups. As a token of gratitude to the COVID warriors, the institute distributed food packets to the police personnel at several police stations and NGOs in Pune during the peak of the COVID pandemic as the police were over worked and were also risking their own lives as well as lives of their families.
Around 35000 economically disadvantaged sections in and around Pune benefitted from the 7000 kg of “Misal” that the institute had prepared on the campus. Students and faculty members were involved in planning, execution, packaging, distribution, logistics and other activities in this context.
We distributed 200 PPE kits and sanitation pumps during the pandemic in response to the appeal from members of the local self-government bodies.
The Suryadatta Group of Institutes donated grains to the OM SAI NGO equivalent to one month of their food requirement.
The institute hosted a free cancer screening and awareness camp for the general public. Additionally, the institute donated bicycles to thirty underprivileged pupils from rural areas.
The late TV reporter Pandurang Raikar's family received a funding of Rs. 1 lakh from the institute.
The institute and the parent body have long track record of such Edu-socio connect initiatives and this has created huge goodwill in the society about Suryadatta Group of Institutions.
