Introduction

Established in 2011, the Commerce Association of Shaheed Bhagat Singh Evening College (University of Delhi) has served as a vital platform for nurturing business acumen, leadership, and holistic development among commerce students. Initially known as VARICO, the association was rebranded in 2023 as PRAGYTA, a Sanskrit term that symbolizes wisdom, enlightenment, and progressive learning.

Over the years, PRAGYTA has evolved from conducting small-scale intra-college events to organizing large inter-college fests, academic workshops, and speaker sessions. PRAGYTA is more than just a society — it is a community of learners, leaders, and achievers, working collectively to foster intellectual curiosity, creativity, and professional growth within the Department of Commerce.

Vision

To establish a vibrant and inclusive platform that fosters commerce-oriented learning, innovation, and leadership among students while preparing them to meet the challenges of the global business environment.

Mission

To cultivate analytical thinking, managerial excellence, and teamwork through academic and professional initiatives that go beyond classroom education — promoting the holistic growth of every member.
