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