The programme aimed to familiarise them with the National Education Policy (NEP), the college's academic framework, and institutional rules and regulations.

Addressing the gathering, Prof. Deepak Tiwari, Principal of SGC Namchi, highlighted the vital role of parents and guardians in supporting students throughout their academic journey. He emphasised that while the college strives to provide quality education and guidance, students' success depends equally on discipline, commitment, and active participation, with continued support from their families. He urged parents to take an active interest in monitoring their children's attendance, academic performance, and peer group, stressing that regular parental involvement is essential for the overall development and well-being of students. He noted that close cooperation between the college and parents would help create a supportive environment conducive to academic excellence and responsible behaviour.

The Principal also briefed the students on the college's rules and regulations, the activities of the National Cadet Corps (NCC) and National Service Scheme (NSS), and responded to queries raised by students and guardians.
Special emphasis was placed on maintaining the mandatory 75 per cent attendance, observing campus discipline, adhering to the institution's tobacco-free campus policy, and complying with anti-ragging regulations.
