Carmel College Crest and Motto:

On the outer edge there are lotus petals. In the inner circle, the hill of Carmel surmounted by a cross, an open book, and a hand holding a lighted torch.

The Lotus petals are a symbol of Indian womanhood. An Indian woman is one who is ready for service and sacrifice. She goes forward whenever she can give herself to others. These petals typify the students, learning and working together to stand for what the crest upholds.

The hill of Carmel surmounted by a cross stands for prayer, sacrifice and suffering, which should play an important part in the life of a woman.

The open book is a symbol of knowledge. The source of this knowledge is God himself in Whom originate our ideals, our joys and efforts.

“ A constant yearning to know the inner Spirit and a vision of Truth which gives liberation. This is true Wisdom leading to vision. All against this is ignorance!” (Bhagwad Gita).

Our Motto: “Satyam Eva Mukti Danam”
                     “Truth is the gift and the giver of Freedom”
We uphold Truth at all costs and under all circumstances. With the advance of science and progress in every field our motto will be an incentive to choose the right, the noble and the true
