Government Hrangbana College stands for Leadership with Social Responsibility. Hence its entire mechanism and arrangements for Governance, Leadership and Management are powered by these ideas. The belief in decentralized and participative management, collective work, a co-operative ethos and a consultative and collaborative approach to work are what characterizes leadership. Leadership need not be a singular and insulated enterprise but rather a community and shared enterprise where the purpose of this leadership is not merely quantifiable goals and targets, but the ability to make creative and constructive change in oneself and the world around. Leadership is understood in Government Hrangbana College as a quality that develops the confidence within oneself to negotiate change, difference and challenges with equanimity, grace and compassion.
