Academic Year 2025–2026
It gives me immense pleasure to present the Principal’s Report of Cluny Women’s College, Kalimpomg for the academic year 2025–2026. The year has been one of academic engagement, institutional growth and active participation of our students and staff in a wide range of curricular, co-curricular and extension activities.
The academic year commenced with Orientation Programmes for the new batch, along with regular academic activities, examinations, departmental seminars, workshops and student presentations. The College continued to place strong emphasis on Quality Education and Academic Achievement. The results of our students remained encouraging, with the 6th Semester recording an overall pass percentage of 97.5%, while the 2nd and 4th Semester results also reflected satisfactory academic performance.
Our commitment to Holistic Education was strengthened through programmes on career guidance, leadership and self-management, legal awareness, mental health and emotional well-being, digital privacy, consumer awareness and student welfare. Career-oriented initiatives included the Karma Disha programme, career counselling sessions, participation in a Career Fair and a special programme on career opportunities and recruitment procedures in the Army.
The College also continued to promote Research and Intellectual Engagement through departmental seminars, lecture series, the Indian Knowledge System initiative, an ICSSR-sponsored National Seminar and various academic collaborations. The signing of an MoU with Salesian College and other academic interactions further contributed to widening our institutional networks.
Student development remained at the heart of our activities. The Student Council, NSS, Women’s Cell, Electoral Literacy Club, Yoga and Self Defence Club, Common Room Committee and other cells and committees provided students with opportunities for leadership, social responsibility and active citizenship. Participation in sports and cultural activities was also noteworthy. One of our student brought laurels to the College by securing first position in KATA and a gold medal in fighting at the Indo-Nepal Karate Championship.
The College remained committed to Social and Community Engagement. Activities such as the World Environment Day pledge against single-use plastic, World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, World AIDS Day observance, Unnat Bharat Abhiyan village survey and extension programme, school outreach and admission counselling, as well as programmes addressing social concerns such as the evils of the dowry system, enabled our students to connect learning with social responsibility.
We also celebrated and promoted our Rich Cultural and Linguistic Heritage through Bhanu Jayanti (Bhanu Smriti Diwas), Nepali Bhasa Manyata Diwas, Rabindra Jayanti and other cultural and literary programmes. The College continues to value its cultural identity while encouraging students to appreciate diversity and inclusiveness.
I place on record my sincere appreciation to the Teaching and Non-teaching staff, students, members of the Governing Body, alumni, parents and all our collaborators and well-wishers for their continued support and commitment. The wide range of activities undertaken during the year reflects our endeavour towards building an institution that is academically sound, socially responsible and committed to the holistic development of young women.
As we move forward, we remain committed to strengthening Academic Excellence, Research, Innovation, Student Welfare, Employability, Community Engagement and Value-based Education, in keeping with the Vision and Mission of Cluny Women’s College.
May God Bless us all.
