HIGHLIGHTS
From the
Principal™s Desk
Not enjoyment, and not
sorrow,
is our destined end or
way;
but to act, that each
tomorrow,
brings us farther than
today.
“
H.W. Longfellow
Inculcating
the above said thought of H.W. Longfellow, we “ the members of Guru Nanak Girls
College, always strive for a better tomorrow...where we hope to scale newer
heights, set new records and achieve the unachievable. It is said success is
counted sweetest by those who never succeed, but success at GNGC, becomes an
ideogram of unlimited dreams. That is why, Guru Nanak Girls College, apart from
setting new records, is perhaps the only College that surpasses its own records.
A proof of it is, a leap in number of university positions from 44 last session
to an enormous 102 this session. Post Graduate Department of Sociology, this
year, stole the show, by capturing first 11 university positions in M.A.-I and
5 in MA-II annual examinations. On the same lines, are walking the Post
Graduate Departments of English, Political Science and History, which were able
to clinch five, eleven and nine university positions respectively. Four and one
top university positions were clinched by the students of MA-I (Punjabi) and MA-II
(Punjabi) respectively; while, the students of PG Diploma in Mass Communication
grabbed seven top university positions. The achievements of the first batch of
M.B.E. will surely boost up the spirits of the students as well as the faculty,
as this batch took hold of first, third and sixth university position, and the
students of M.B.E.-II Semester did not lag behind as they too clinched first,
fourth, sixth & tenth university position. Apart from this, the diligent
students of our College also made their mark in grabbing the university positions,
as the students of M.Com. (3rd Semester), M.Com. (4th
Semester), M.Sc. (IT- 3rd Semester), PGDPM&LW (1st
Semester), PGDPM&LW (2nd Semester) BCA-II, BBA-I, BBA-III,
B.Sc.-I (Fashion Designing), B.Sc.-II (Fashion Designing) and B.Sc.-I (Bioinformatics)
brought home as many as forty two positions.
There would
be no exaggeration, if I say that the credit of all these achievements goes to
S. Gurbir Singh, President, Guru Nanak Girls College, who regularly keeps on motivating
us for promoting the standards of education and working for the cause of education.
I also appreciate the efforts of the dedicated and competent faculty members
who leave no stone unturned in motivating and guiding the students. I can
always feel the hand of Almighty God on our heads, because without His
blessings even the achievable could have transcended into the unachievable.
