Message from the President

Today, we are at the zenith of excellence at K L Deemed to be University. Nevertheless, the quest for constant innovation unfolds relentlessly. Let every step of ours be a conscious and meticulous exercise to improve and enhance.

Education is the very way of our life and when it improves, life does too. Education of the highest order aims at training, guiding, inspiring, motivating and leading young men and women in the ever expanding horizon of insatiable thirst for knowledge coupled with the hankering after the ever so near yet ever so far wisdom and enlightenment. Preparing 'world ready', 'market ready' yet conscionable pupils is by no means a small endeavor. The daunting task of inspiring young minds, setting their hearts on fire, giving them a sense of direction and purpose, something to live up to and live for and giving them the power to act as agents of change and instruments of progress, is the quintessence of the higher education.
