Vision:

To build the foundation for excellence and spur development of the institution as a premier institution by igniting and nurturing enthusiasm, interests, and passion, in the study of physics, in professional courses, as a part of curricula.

Mission:

Vinayaka Mission's Research Foundation - Deemed to be University (VMRF-DU) shall strive towards a world-class institution by producing experts with scientific knowledge, technical understanding, professional skill, and ethical values. Physics lies at the core of all scientific and technical disciplines. Our department has a two-fold mission – providing students who will make a wide range of career choices with an outstanding learning experience in which they develop strong scientific, analytical, quantitative, and problem-solving skills and strengthen research that expands the horizons of science and technology.

The mission will be accomplished by:

1. Providing students with rigorous and comprehensive courses that allow them to perform at a high level
2. Fostering curiosity and excitement about the physical world
3. Providing an exciting learning opportunity for non-physics and non-science majors that provides a basic understanding of physics and problem-solving skills
4. Providing research experience, through which they contribute to the scientific enterprise
5. Having faculty bring exciting and current research perspectives to the classroom
6. Preparing undergraduate physics majors for graduate studies or technical careers
7. Providing service and outreach activities to the college and the broader community
