From the President’s desk...
“Education is the process of giving the individual knowledge and skills
which he should apply in his life. Inculcating noble traditions, compassion and love in
the individual in order to help him lead a full life, should be the aim of an
educationist.”
I, as the president of the Managing Committee strongly believe in the above
quoted famous lines of an eminent educationist, Dr. Radhakrishnan. I undertook this
great responsibility not as a businessman but as a visionary, with the aim to nurture the
young minds with knowledge, virtuous, human values and bring out the best potentials
which they have.
When the responsibility of being the President of the Managing Committee
was entrusted to me Guru Nanak Khalsa College was facing many problems, shortage
of funds was the greatest problem, as the Punjab Govt. had withdrawn the financial
support and the students had started opting for professional and vocational courses
instead of the regular courses which this college had been running. There were many
constraints and restraints. So I, with the mutual understanding and co-operation of
other members of the Managing Committee decided to start the girls wing and certain
other courses, so that the college could meet the requirements of the changing times.
With the passage of time and financial aid from UGC, State Govt. and other
responsible bodies, we have been able to build up and strengthen the college once
again. Dr. Upinderjit Kaur, Former Finance Minister of Punajb has proved to be a
great help by providing financial support. Computer courses and other graduate as well
as post graduate courses are now being run successfully.
A fleet of buses has been provided so that the girls from the adjoining
villages can reach college conveniently. We have a spacious campus with all the
facilities in the girls wing near Guru Nanak Dev Stadium on Gurudwara Sri Ber Sahib
Road. The construction of modern Gymnasium and Auditorium, which is in full swing
will add another feather in the colorful cap of accomplishments of the college.
I am happy that the college is submitting its SSR for the NAAC
accreditation. I firmly believe that the college shall scale new heights in the times to
come, for the achievement of our goal is assured the moment we commit our self to it.

From the pen of the Principal...
Guru Nanak Khalsa College Sultanpur Lodhi, a brain child of late
S. Atma Singh Ji, who was the founder and the president of this institution,
was established in 1969 with a vision to provide quality education in this
economically and educationally backward area. Before this institution came
into being, there was no college around the town which could cater to the
needs of the students especially girl students. The college, the sapling of
which was planted in 1969 has now grown up into a huge tree bearing
blossoms in the form of the large number of students who receive education
in this renowned institution. It has come to occupy an enviable and laudable
position because of the arduous and tireless efforts put in by the college
authorities and students studying in this college. The institution has attained
dizzy heights by winning 85 university merit positions during the last 8 years.
The college has added new courses to its curriculum taking into account the
current trends in teaching learning process. A fleet of buses enables the girl
commuters to travel safely and conveniently. The College attempt to motivate
the students and teachers to undertake research work. The college conducted
UGC sponsor seminar-one on “Globalization” and the other on “Women’s
Human Rights” in order to generate awareness and knowledge about the
current issues. The college authorities endeavour to inculcate the attributes of
head and heart in the students by imparting religious and moral education. We
have invited some eminent scholars to deliver lectures on moral education.
We are aware of the fact that perfection is unattainable and there should be no
room for complacency. We are pleased to submit this SSR of our college for
accreditation. It is humbly assured that the college will remain busy in the
pursuit of excellence in the years to come.
