EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

Extra Curricular Activities help in honing “Soft Skills” that relate directly to social

interaction, time management, public relations and community service. Students who excel

in Academic and Extra Curricular Activities have a greater sense of achievement that will

propel them to greater heights and success in their education and career. Practically

speaking, participating in these activities looks good on job applications & shows the

employers that one is a well rounded & responsible individual. So by interspersing

academics with an Extra Curricular Activity-be it a sport, a club, society or community

work- one can refresh oneself & be better able to focus on one’s work!

With this end in view, a number of activities such as Talent Hunt, Inter College & Intra

College Quizzes, Debates, Declamations, Folk Song & Poetry Recitation competitions were

held in the college during this session.

Many dignitaries were invited to interact & share their specialized knowledge & expertise

with the students. It is a matter of honour for the college to place their names on record.

TOWARDS HOLISTIC DEVELOPMENT

In holistic education, the teacher is seen less as a person of authority who leads and

controls and more as a friend, a mentor and a facilitator. Institutions should be places

where students and pedagogues towards mutual goals. Thus, the reward of a holistic

training becomes growing together in a conducive atmosphere. With this premise in mind,

we have three NSS Units, NCC (Army Wing) and various clubs, cells and associations

actively functioning in the college.

A detail of their activities during this session is given below.

NSS WING Coordinator: Dr Gurmel Singh

This year, we enrolled 300 volunteers in the three NSS Units.

and Pulse Polio drive by Health Dept. U T .

The Best NSS volunteer of 2012 is Simranjit Kaur - BA -III.

NCC Cordinator: Ms Bharti

speaking events such as debates, declamations and paper reading contests to improve

confidence and communicative skills.

THE AMBASSADORS(Alumni Association) is an open group on Facebook. A novel effort

has been made to initiate debates and discussions on social issues. Some alumni respond on

a regular basis and whole heartedly. It is heartening to observe that many alumni who are

tech savvy find it very useful for their self expression. We have made special efforts to

encourage the current final year students to be a part of this association.

VISION

We have become the first college in the area to have State of the Art teaching facilities in

the form of Smart Class Rooms and a four-storied IT block equipped with latest

technological infrastructure. The New Information Technology Block was inaugurated on

January 9, 2012 by Mr. K.K. Sharma, Advisor to the Administrator, Union Territory,

Chandigarh. The college is likely to usher in an era of not only making the college tech

savvy but will also encourage tie ups with related industries/ institutions of higher

learning at the national and international level with the help of the facilities available in the

IT Block. The IT block is fully A. C. with four computer labs fully equipped with latest

technology & Nebero internet software management solutions, Conference Room, Video

Studio, Skill Development Lab, Multipurpose Hall , Placement and Career Unit & twelve

teaching rooms. It is worthwhile to mention that there are special facilities for physically

handicapped students in the block. The Chandigarh administration has cleared all decks

for the installation of a Lift in the block which would be first of its kind in an institution of

higher learning.

The college would initiate academic endeavour for the introduction of various courses as

per demand of the global market in the area of Cyber Crime , Animation , Web Designing,

Information Technology, e-Governance , e-Learning and e-Business as these courses have

great potential of employability in the Indian and global academic market.

However, the vision of the college as a self-sufficient institution will remain

unfulfilled until some more facilities like

v A new Hostel Block

v Advanced Science Block

v Swimming pool

v Extended parking area

44

v Underground parking

v Additional housing units for non-teaching staff

are not added to the existing infrastructure.

The earlier sanctioned capital projects i.e. the Auditorium and the Gymnasium are under

construction and we are thankful to Chandigarh Administration for their whole hearted

cooperation.

NEW COURSES

The following new courses will be introduced from the session 2012-2013 for which

the Chandigarh Administration has already given approval:

MSc (Microbial Biotechnology )

M.Sc ( Information Technology)

BA/BSC ( Information Technology )

PG Diploma in Cyber Crime

&

§ Career Oriented Courses in the following subjects:

o Disaster Management

o Entrepreneurship

o Animation & Graphics

o Web Designing and Multimedia

o Mass Communication and Video Reporting

We gladly acknowledge the guidance and unflinching support, which has brought about

major improvements in the infrastructural facilities of our institute. Thanks to an initiative

from the Administration, we are having special Personality Development classes for our

students in order to hone their communication skills and enhance their confidence. Credit

for these giant leaps goes to the handsome financial support that we have been receiving

45

from the UGC. The Vision for Chandigarh Educational Standards is evidently being

realized here.

I congratulate each one of you who will be receiving prizes today. I also congratulate your

teachers and your parents. You are our -BRAND AMBASSADORS and I hope that you will

keep striving towards excellence. Our objective is to focus on instilling moral values and

strong work ethics in our girls so that they grow up to be good human beings and

responsible citizens who will contribute to the society and be assets to the Nation. While

there should be focus on excellence in academics, education also means intellectual,

emotional, cultural and social development of a person. Only by following this we can keep

soaring HIGHER STILL!

Thank you.
