Vision & Mission

Insignia of Sri Guru Gobind Singh College
Our Vision Enshrined

A tribute to the Tenth Guru

Sri Guru Gobind Singh College was established in 1966 as a tribute to the Tenth Guru of the Sikhs, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji — the great saint soldier and a scholar par excellence. Located in the pristine environment of Chandigarh, the College has evolved as a premier institution of the northern region.

There has been a consistent endeavour to live up to the high ideals of the Tenth Guru, which are enshrined in the insignia of the College designed by the legendary artist S Sobha Singh — symbolised by the flame of knowledge, the power of the pen and spiritual prowess. The insignia is duly emblazoned by the dictums of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji:

ਦੇਹ ਸ਼ਿਵਾ ਬਰ ਮੋਹਿ ਇਹੈ ਸ਼ੁਭ ਕਰਮਨ ਤੇ ਕਬਹੂੰ ਨ ਟਰੋਂ — verse by Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji

A verse of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji — calling on every member of the College community to live in courage and steadfast righteous action.

ਮਾਨਸ ਕੀ ਜਾਤਿ ਸਭੈ ਏਕੈ ਪਹਿਚਾਨਬੋ — All human beings have equal rights of fraternity, identity and justice

The Insignia of the College carries the imprint of the lofty ideals enshrined in the Vision and Mission of the College.
