School of Liberal Arts was established with the belief to bring about the Liberal Arts education in the Indian academic domain to facilitate the better understanding of the problems and possibilities in the Indian society. The international model of the program along with the Glocal perspective aims to mould global practices to fit the Indian context. Along with that, Liberal Arts education will equip students for the jobs of the 21st century which require them to have transferable skills, multi-disciplinary approach, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities. With project-based learning, professional and vocational trainings, the focus of SLA is more on the employability of the students. They are encouraged to become young and dynamic thought leaders and change-makers of the society.
SLA aims to re-imagine education and align it with technological transformation. Smart Classes, well-equipped labs, state-of-the-art infrastructure, and renowned members of faculty help in enabling the environment where we are not just knowledge and Job providers but also knowledge and Job creators.
