5. MESSAGE
Dear Sir / Madam,
I indeed feel exuberance to bring this information brochure to you for making
you aware with the ambrosial salience of a world class seat of learning and
research in management and computer sciences - School of Management
Sciences, Varanasi. Its attainment of A+++ category in the B-School Survey
by Business India has brought it a landslide honour in as much as placing it
among the top B-Schools of India. Also, the recent glaring success of its
journal – Purushartha in getting indexed in Scopus, Elsevier, coupled with
another putative singularity in terms of achieving a hundred percent
compliance to the various formidable concerns raised by the global
management education system, certainly reflect a muscular
acknowledgment of its consolidated growth and dashing maturity in the non-
IIM category. Let me express my deep sense of gratitude towards the
unwearied cooperation of our stakeholders in providing for a major fillip to
SMS in developing ideally and to carve out a distinct niche for itself in the
business world.
Though SMS has been proactive on all the various scholastic fronts, yet its
curricular & pedagogical revisits meticulously prior to beginning of a semester,
in order to sincerely accommodate the emerging industrial & academic
concerns, is certainly remarkable. The organized exercise thus brings to the
cerebral-fold relevant value models & skill-mix pertaining to issues like,
communication & personality development, emotional intelligence,
leadership qualities, business ethics & etiquettes, pertinent managerial inputs
from the ancient Indian wisdom, and many more in order to effect a holistic
grooming of our PGDMs, MBA & MCA participants and further enabling them
to become fully compatible to the current and upcoming job environments.
An extraordinary blending of arrogantly beautiful physical infrastructure,
compounded with an ebullient & dedicated team of the brilliant faculty of SMS
passionately nurtures the talents of our students so that they could address to
the plural needs and ethos of the corporate world effectively. This has been a
major factor behind SMS always scripting a wonderful track of fabulous
quality placements even during the spate of adverse times.
Moreover, the unwavering quest of SMS to redefine the canon of excellence is
a perpetual process, and we are sure of touching the apotheosis in this regard
by the onerous efforts of SMS-team, endowed with a burgeoning reliance of
our stakeholders and the incessant blessings of the Almighty.
Wishing you all the best !
Yours sincerely,
P. N. Jha

6. aranasi, also called Kashi or Banaras, is
Vactually the Land of Eternity between the
rivers Varuna and Assi and has been
acclaimed to be one of the noblest places in not
only India, but the whole of the world.
Situated on the banks of the holy Ganga, where
the pious river takes a crescent sweep towards
the North, Varanasi rightly entails the spring of
the outstanding human values, the climax in
aesthetics, and the aristocracy of the rich Indian
ethos. This City of Light has been the
permanent home of Lord Vishwanath, who is
believed to keep the holy city alive on his Trident
even when the whole world may be doomed in
the grip of so called 'pralaya'. That is why; this
celestial place, decorated with temples and
shrines of so many deities located in the vicinity
of colourful ghats on the banks of Ganga,
facilitates the gurus to gather their disciples,
encourages yogis to practice their yogas and
ascetics, and equally invites the hermits of
various religions and sects for sermonizing their
teachings.
VARANASITHE OLDEST CITY OF THE WORLD
Varanasi has further been a confluence of the
golden streams of thought of Hinduism,
Buddhism, Jainism, Vaishnavism and Vedic
philosophy since the times immemorial. Lord
Buddha, the 'Awakened One', preferred Kashi
for delivering his maiden sermons on the 'Eight-
Fold Noble Path' and 'Dharmachakra' at
Sarnath. Kabir too got his enlightenment on the
steep stairs of the Ghats of Kashi and Tulsi
created his monumental and epoch making
contributions like Ramacharit Manas & Vinaya
Patrika on the holy banks of Ganga. It is on
account of the unique sanctity of this place that
Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya chose Banaras
for establishing the well-known 'Banaras Hindu
University' the singular seat of 'All Learning of
the World'.
Such is the magnanimity of Varanasi, where the
School of Management Sciences has been set
up with the objective of training our young
generation in a true cosmopolitan environment
that could cater to the plural and versatile
needs. Varanasi is certainly an attractive and
thriving city to live and to study. With its sacred
character and glorious heritage this holy city
offers everything from the excitement of a big
city to the eternal peace and tranquility.
