Free 'Hobby Classes'

In another initiative taken by the new Principal, our college has started free ‘Hobby Classes’ during the summer vacation for college students as well as for girls from nearby schools who have appeared in their 10+2 exam. Hobby classes are being organized for developing skills in Tie & Dye, Painting , Mehandi & Block Printing, Craft, Food Preservation & Nutrition, Calligraphy, Communication Skills, Personality Development, Vedic Maths , Dance and Yoga. These classes will continue till 15.6.2011 from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM daily in the college campus. Mrs. Poonam Panwar, Associate Prof. of English is the coordinator for this project. Experts from the relevant fields have been invited to impart various types of skills to the students.

An inaugural function was organised in the college campus today. Mrs. Savita Tayal, Principal, Govt. Post-Graduate College, Panchkula was the honourable chief guest on the occasion. Mrs. Tayal appreciated the initiative taken by the Principal, G.C. G Panchkula, Dr. Usha Malik. She encouraged the students to take active interest in these hobby classes as the skills developed here can become their careers in future.

Community engagement programme AAKRITI

In order to cultivate sensitivity among students towards education of deprived sections of our society the college started a project for helping young children from a nearby slum, located in sector 12-A, in their studies. Named ‘Aakriti’, this project is a humble effort of the college to assist in giving shape to the dreams of these underprivileged citizens of our country.

Aakriti, one of the several initiatives taken by our Principal Dr. Usha Malik during the short period since she joined this college, has generated considerable interest among our staff members and students, many of whom have volunteered to support these children, mostly girls, from 4th class onwards by giving them free coaching as well as learning material. To encourage adult literacy and empower women living in this locality, a few old women have also been motivated to join these classes. “Initial response of these impoverished children and women has been very encouraging”, observed Mrs. Urmil Sangwan, coordinator of this project, “our students, too, are feeling really excited to be able to contribute their bit for this noble cause.”
