The roots of true achievement lie in the will to become the best that you can be - Harold Taylor. 26 years ago, when the Agnel Polytechnic was established in the township of Navi Mumbai, it was one more step towards the realization of the vision of our founder Rev. Fr. Concepcion Rodriguez. The hard work, dedication & commitment of our staff & students under the able guidance of Rev. Fr. Orlando has turned this institute into one of the best of the best private Polytechnics affiliated to the Maharashtra State Board of Technical Education & accredited by the National Board of Accreditation, New Delhi. The 3 year courses offered at this Polytechnic not only educated the students academically & technically, it also provides students with ample opportunities to gain practical experience, which is so crucial for individual growth & success. So, Dear students, as I welcome you to this institute on behalf of the Agnel Ashram Father’s, I would like each one of you to remember that you are a unique individual who has the power to make a world of difference. As Walt Disney has said, you can dream, create design & build the most wonderful place in the world but it requires people to make the dream into reality. Our effort shall always be to provide you with a sound ‘learning & doing’ environment, for we believe that talent can prosper only when it is recognized & appreciated. So, as the future makers of India, pursue excellence & acquire it by relentless training, frank feedback & constant self improvement.

One thing that can be said, irrespective of industry, is that it is a very competitive world you are going to work in. But I think our students today are far better equipped educationally than those in the past. As Siddharth Ghosh says, "It is not only academic ability that this world demands - but the world demand patience. It demands people who are open to learning & able to figure out how to make the best use of what they have learnt over the years. It calls for a very high degree of professional commitment to whatever work they are doing. It is good for a professional to be reminded that his / her professionalism is only the husk. That the real person must remain an amateur, a lover of work. Whatever we do well must be done spontaneously for its own sake. Our belief & conviction about this reality is the spirit behind our effort to impart education with values.

Vision: To foster love & understanding among the various communities in India & also to contribute to development & self reliance of this great country through technical education.

Mission: The importance of value based education to create a better tomorrow, not only for India but for the world at large, has been & will always be our mission.
