As an integral part of this celebration, all the teachers, students, alumni and non-teaching staffs of both the Theology and the ASC(Arts-Science-Commerce) sections walked in the rally that came out on the morning of 17th February, 2018. It gives us immense joy and pride to notice that representatives from the institutions of Serampore joined and took active part in the rally.We hope our beloved Serampore College will never be in want of such generous and loving participation. Because, Serampore College is not merely an academic institution, but an emotion as well which people, old and young, have been cherishing for last two centuries and a sentiment that will last for ever.
