DESCRIPTION OF THE COAT OF ARMS

The rising sun at the top of the Shield stands for Power. On the left corner is enshrined the Portico of the Old College buildings with its classical pillars. On the right corner is the ever burning torch of knowledge. The Lotus-sacred symbol of Hinduism-occupies the rest of the Shield. Below is the oft quoted maxim "MENS AGITAT MOLEM" (Mind Moves Matter).
