Parliamentarian Social worker, a renouned Sai devotee and the then state President of

(Oriya, Hindi, and Alternative English), Computer Application, Environmental Studies,
Population Studies, Socio Cultural, History of India as compulsory subjects. The College
encourages the students to enroll in the National Service Scheme, Red Cross Society, in
order to develop their spiritual, social and moral activities.
As Bhagwan Sri Baba gives prime importance to Women Education as because they
play a vital role in shaping the destiny of a nation. Under that feeling the Sathya Sai
