Student Welfare Committee (Girls) and Nanhi Chhaan Cell of GSSDGS Khalsa College, Patiala organized an Induction Programme for girls
on 26th September, 2025.
Dr. Dharminder Singh Ubha, the Principal of the college while addressing the girls said that girls are a boon for the family because they have the immense capability of tolerance, unconditional love and knack of keeping their families close-knitted. They play multi-dimensional roles in their lives and play their roles with aplomb and impeccability because of their power of acceptance and adjustment. Girls should not come under the sway of materialistic allure because it can stray from their goal and aim. Girls have a major responsibility and a central role in bringing about a change in this morally depleted and obnoxious modern world.Instead of wasting their time on over-indulgence in phones and useless gossips, they should be voracious readers of good books of various sorts and refrain from falling into the pitfalls of being excessively fashion conscious and other distractions.
Dr. Rajwinder Kaur, Dean and Convenor Student Welfare Committee (Girls) said that the Induction Programme is an important event for new students and it is pertinent for girls to understand and follow the right path in their lives. This is a crucial time where any erroneous decisions or way chosen by them could prove to be detrimental for them.
Dr.Pushpinder Kaur, Convenor, Nanhi Chhaan Cell and Dean Press and Publication expressed her views that it is necessary to motivate girls and guide them towards the right direction because the present scenario sometimes unconsciously makes them drift from their goal. So the issues relating to girls should be addressed from time to time.
All the members of committees were present during this programme. Dr. Harsandeep Kaur conducted the proceedings
