Motto, Mission and Vision
The coat of arms bears on top the motto of the college "Lighted to Lighten". With the light of wisdom, it exhorts the students to live on the campus a life inspired by the spirit to enlighten and to be enlightened.
Rev. Joseph Peet, the C. M. S. missionary from England had a broad vision of the land when he landed here in 1836. His vision was focused on different areas like promotion of holistic development of students, human rights and justice, women empowerment and social upliftment by eradicating castism and untouchability and through women’s education and vocational education. The vision of this great philanthropist has been adopted as the vision of the college.
The Peet College community strives to produce intellectually competent, morally upright, socially committed, spiritually inspired and God fearing, emotionally well balanced, patriotic men and women to act as role models in the service of humanity, today and forever.
