College Emblem and College Shabad

The college Emblem bears the motto of the college "Shubh Karman Te Kabhun Na Taron." These holy words form part of a hymn by Guru Gobind Singh the tenth Guru of the Sikhs. These holy words imply that one should never desist from doing righteous deeds. The hymn exhorts us to do righteous deeds fearlessly in our society and be victorious with determination. Education is the best and the most important system to plant this ideal firmly in the minds of our students for the upliftment of our society. Considering this aspect of education and the fact that educational institutes are not commercial or teaching shops, the college always keeps its mission of service above everything else. The college is aware of its role and responsibility of disseminating knowledge and of nation building. As the college is named after the name of tenth Guru, so his sacred words have been adopted as the motto in the emblem to express our vision and objective in no uncertain terms.

College Emblem also includes:

The Double-edged Sword: is a metaphor of Divine Knowledge, its sharp edges cleaving Truth from Falsehood.

Light Emanating from the Sword: Light is the symbol of knowledge and enlightenment.
