At that stage, the College offered only Arts Stream due to the non-availability of infrastructure. However, the College was shifted to its own campus at the village Ikrumoo in October 2015. The new College campus is spread over fifty-four (54) kanals of land. The invigorating mountain air, the calm atmosphere, the serene environs, the densely clad lush green hills and the snow-capped mountains in the background embellish, enhance and enrich the beauty of the College campus. Moreover, the aeolian tones produced by the breeze and the psithurism caused by the wind amid the burbling of the Brengi Stream makes the campus ambience soothing to the soul and exhilarating to the physique of all those who approach the College. The “mission” of an individual, organization or an institution is ‘a strongly felt aim, ambition, or calling” for the accomplishment of a well designed goal or end. So, it is totally different from an ‘adventure’ in which there are chances of failure as well. The “mission”, on the other hand, carries the sense of the fulfillment of the aim with it and for this purpose ‘a strong urge’ should be coupled with ‘a strong determination’ to endure and persevere in the path leading to the goal. Now, for an institution, the “mission” needs collective efforts, therefore, the College has declared to: Strive for the intellectual and moral empowerment of all the stake holders of the institution and Promote discovery and application of knowledge through co-operation and collaboration as its “mission.” The new college campus is spread over fifty four (54.0) kanals of land the invigorating mountain air ,the calm and serenity the densely clad hills and the snow capped mountains in the background enhance the beauty of the college campus. The only sound heard in the college campus is that of serenely blowing light wind during evening times and that of the Brengi Nallah (Brengi River) flowing from the north.
