It is the fervent prayer and hope of the Nagarjuna Education Society that JKC College shall continue “to strive, to seek, to find and never to yield”. In the relentless pursuit of noble ideals enshrined in the memory of the sage and savant, Acharya Nagarjuna, and never resting on its oars, the college shall be “still achieving and still pursuing”
