Naren and SACAC:
At SACAC, I share with students a range of multidisciplinary oriented critical understanding about society, politics, culture and media. Through this, I strive to sharpen the intellect and broaden the worldview of the young minds, thereby training them to think more freely, critically and creatively.

The SACAC Experience:
My experience at SACAC has been immensely rewarding. It is needless to say that SACAC attracts the best of talents as students. I have always been amazed to witness their sparkling creativity, academic brilliance and refined thinking.

Surely, the management and faculty leadership of SACAC is top-notch. The level of moral and ethical fiber the people associated with it encompasses is incomparable. And the serene, natural beauty and refined academic-cultural atmosphere of its campus is simply matchless!
