President Message

Established in 1927 as a training college, the Seventh-day Adventist Inter College is
in its 92 year of service to the people of North India and is one of the premier
institutions of the large global family of Adventist educational establishments.
The aim of the college throughout its existence has been to provide affordable quality
education and promote moral integrity in all, without prejudice. In 2001, the Adventist
Accrediting Association permitted the upgrading of the college into an establishment
of higher learning and the Roorkee Adventist College was born.

The Seventh-day Adventist philosophy of education promotes the development of the
Physical, Intellectual, Spiritual and Social aspects of an individual and it has always been
the endeavor of the College to promote this facet of education. Mere amassing of
knowledge is not true education. A successful person needs more than knowledge to
compete in today’s world and it is my belief and desire that students who pass through
the halls of this college must learn more about themselves, their relationship with God, their relationship to
society, the ability and desire to bear themselves with dignity, the value of integrity and acquire the best
knowledge of the subjects they have chosen.
Mrs. Ellen G. White, the pioneer of the Seventh-day Adventist movement identifies the most important
requirement of society today as: “The greatest want of the world is the need of men(and women)men who will
not be bought or sold, men who in their inmost souls are true and honest, men who do not fear to call
wrongdoing by its correct name, men whose conscience is as true to duty, as will stand firm as a needle to the
pole” (Education, pp. 57, paraphrased).
To prepare its students to achieve these objectives, the college includes leadership training, lifestyle
management skills, physical and spiritual education, aesthetic appreciation and character building activities in
the regular curriculum.
The college offers the Indian Certificate of Secondary education (year 10) and the Indian School Certificate
Examinations (year 12) conducted by the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations, New Delhi. It
also offers degree programs in Commerce, Science, Business Management and Computer Applications
affiliated to the Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Garhwal University, Srinagar, Uttarakhand.
Keeping in mind the best traditions of Adventist Education and providing the services of a dedicated, qualified
and experienced faculty, with its infrastructure set in aesthetically pleasing surrounding, Seventh-day Adventist
Inter College will make a difference in your life and career.
