सा विद्या तन्मततययया

sāvidyā tan-matiryayā

That Alone is Knowledge which Leads to Devotion to God.

Śrīmad Bhāgavata Mahāpurāṇa 4.29.49

The motto – “Sa Vidya Tanmatiryaya” is a verse from the Holy Hindu Scripture – Śrīmad Bhāgavata Mahāpurāṇa. It is the 49th verse, of the 29th chapter, of the 4th part of Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuran. The whole verse reads as follows:

आस्तीयय दर्भै: प्रागग्रै: कार्त्स्स्न्येन क्षिततमण्डलम् ।

स्तब्धो बहृद्िधान्मानी कर्म नािैवि यर्त्स्परम् ।

तर्त्स्कर्म हरितोषं यर्त्स्सा विद्या तन्मतिर्यया ॥

The Emblem of Kripalu Mahila Mahavidyalaya signifies ‘Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj’, the founder of the Organisation. It reflects the profound importance and meaning of education as expressed in the Vedic scriptures. The words ‘Sa Vidya Tanmatiryaya’ encapsulate Jagadguru Shri Ji Maharaj's complete vision of true education.

India has always been at the highest seat of learning because of its spiritual treasure in the form of the Vedas. Jagadguru Shri Kripalu ji Maharaj is the very image of this wisdom and Shri Maharaj Ji’s picture in the emblem represents the same. Not only did he graciously lay the foundation of this great Institution; he continually guides the way to ensure the highest standards of world-class education and exceptional amenities.

At Kripalu Mahila Mahavidyalaya, we believe that a respectful and compassionate learning environment brings out the best in every student. This belief is rooted in the divine guidance of Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj, who, through his boundless grace, established this institution to provide 100% free, quality higher education for the empowerment of society. Inspired by his teachings of love, service, discipline, and upliftment, the institution upholds a set of core values collectively reflected in the name KRIPALU, which guide our collective growth and ensure a safe, harmonious, and enriching campus experience for all.

  • K – Kindness
    • We uphold the principles of inclusivity and non-discrimination, ensuring that every student, regardless of caste, religion, socio-economic background, or personal identity, is treated equally with dignity, fairness, and respect.
  • R – Respect
    • At KMM, we greet one another with “Radhey Radhey” — a simple yet powerful expression that nurtures humility, encourages mutual respect, and reminds us to approach each other with compassion and gentleness.
    • We maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards corporal punishment and all forms of physical reprimand. We are firmly committed to upholding a respectful, inclusive, and safe academic environment for all students, in accordance with higher education standards and the principles of dignified and compassionate learning
    • Behaviours such as smoking, ragging, bullying, harassment (verbal, physical, or online), or any form of intimidation are strictly prohibited and violate both institutional policy and the values we uphold. We are committed to providing a campus environment in which every member feels respected, secure, and valued.
  • I – Integrity
    • We believe that integrity shapes the character of both individuals and institutions. At KMM, academic integrity is a non-negotiable principle. Acts such as cheating, plagiarism, or any form of academic dishonesty are treated with utmost seriousness and may result in disciplinary action. We are committed to transparency and fairness across all academic and administrative processes— including examinations, evaluations, attendance, and disciplinary procedures. Students are encouraged to voice any concerns or grievances through the proper channels, thereby nurturing a culture of trust and accountability within our campus community
    • Character is revealed not only in major decisions, but also in the consistency of one’s daily actions—especially when unsupervised. It is reflected in classroom engagement, interpersonal behaviour, and one’s commitment to civility and accountability in both physical and digital interactions.
  • P – Perseverance
    • At Kripalu Mahila Mahavidyalaya, we uphold perseverance as a core value, inspiring students to demonstrate sustained effort, resilience, and determination in all aspects of academic, cocurricular, and personal life. Students are encouraged to overcome challenges, engage consistently in studies, co-curricular activities, and community service, and cultivate resilience in learning, research, and personal growth.
  • A – Accountability
    • Compliance with institutional regulations is an essential aspect of upholding personal integrity. Students are expected to remain informed of all rules and official updates, whether communicated verbally, in written form, or through digital platforms. Everyone is responsible for understanding and following the applicable regulations; unawareness will not be considered a valid reason for non-compliance.
    • Regular attendance, punctuality, and active participation in all academic and administrative activities are part of one’s personal and collective commitment to the institution.
    • Faculty, too, are expected to uphold this standard. To avoid any conflict of interest, teachers are not permitted to offer or conduct private tuition outside the campus. Professional ethics are key to preserving trust, fairness, and the credibility of our academic mission.
    • At Kripalu Mahila Mahavidyalaya, a clean, orderly, and respectful campus is a shared achievement and a shared responsibility. All students are expected to actively contribute to maintaining the dignity of their environment by ensuring cleanliness in classrooms, common areas, washrooms, and open spaces. Everyday practices such as proper waste disposal, queuing in an orderly manner, and observing campus protocols foster a healthy and welcoming atmosphere for all.
    • Respect for institutional property is equally essential. Students are entrusted with the responsible use of campus facilities, equipment, and resources. Any form of misuse, damage, or unauthorized use of institutional assets is regarded as a serious breach of responsibility and may result in disciplinary measures, including financial restitution where applicable.
    • Accountability also reflects in how we present ourselves and take responsibility for our environment. Students are expected to maintain a clean, modest, and well-groomed appearance; wearing the prescribed uniform is essential. Female faculty are encouraged to wear traditional attire such as sarees, which reflects our values and pride in culture.
    • At Kripalu Mahila Mahavidyalaya, character forms the cornerstone of a meaningful and transformative education. Students are expected to demonstrate honesty, integrity, and ethical conduct in all spheres of academic and campus life. This includes respecting the rights and property of others, adhering strictly to examination and evaluation protocols, responsibly using institutional resources, and upholding fairness and collaboration in laboratories, practical sessions, and group activities.
  • L – Love
    • The Institution is laid down and carried out with a lot of Love and Compassion. We believe in nurturing an inclusive and supportive environment where every member of the college community—students, faculty, and staff—feels valued and cared for. This commitment is reflected in regular welfare initiatives, distribution programs, health camps, and other outreach activities designed to promote well-being, social responsibility, and holistic development.
