ABOUT:

Tirthankara Student’s Senate is the Student Council of the college. The council was established on 2nd September 2018 on the auspicious day of Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti. Later on 17/07/ 2024 the council was renamed by its members as Tirthankara Student’s Senate. In Jainism, Tirthankaras are called the Jina or the conquerors of all instincts. There are 24 Tirthankaras. The term, ‘Tirthankara’ is a combination of ‘Teertha’ and ‘Samsara’. Teertha is a pilgrimage site and samsara is the worldly life. Tirthankara Student’s Senate follows the top three foundational virtues of Jainism, Humanity, Forgiveness and Donation. DBJC is known for its exceptional legacy by holding to these virtues.  One of the unique reasons for TSS to shine brighter among other student councils is its motto. TSS, DBJC believes not every student is acquainted with discipline and kindness. Therefore we can not expect any student to behave rightly. It is the duty of TSS to hold to the three virtues of Tirthankara, Humanity, Forgiveness and Donation. Showing utmost Kindness and Love towants students and forgiving them for their misbehaviour are the first duties of every Tirthankara Student’s Senate member. The term “Donation” or “Offering” does not only mean donating money, food or even blood, It also means teaching discipline and sharing the knowledge with fellow students without making them feel low, which is also synonymous with Donation. Tirthankara Student’s Senate is not only to represent the students of the college. It is an example of how a student should be.
