The Scottish Universities’ Mission
Institution (S.U.M.I. or S.U.M.Institution)
of Kalimpong, West Bengal has completed
hundred and twenty five years of its glorious existence in 2011 and the
contribution it has been rendering to the spread
of education in the hills of Darjeeling and
for that matter the whole of North East
India, Nepal, Bhutan, Sikkim and a large
part of Bengal is prodigious and laudable.
SUMI lit light from which torches of
knowledge could spread to the corners of
this region to enlighten the darkness of
illiteracy. The institution was uniquely
endowed with a rare gift of overseas
missionaries representing the Church of
Scotland whose abiding contribution to the
spread of education is worth remembering.

and long time motto of insignia of S.U.M.Iinstitution, Kalimpong, with a

spirit of S.U.M.Institution for and by which
it lives.
