Dear Students

I extend a hearty welcome to you for joining this reputed institute. Govt. Degree College Ani at Haripur, Distt. Kullu, Himachal Pradesh ,was established on twenty seventh June two thousand six. We are obliged to the efforts of Late Sh. Hari Ram ji and the people of this area to bring in an institute of higher education especially for the girls and underprivileged students. Today our college is progressing by leap and bounds with well equipped libraries, IT and science labs, language labs, offering UG courses in Humanities, Science and Commerce. Under Utkrist Mahavidyalaya Yojana College has enhanced its sports and academic infrastructure to compete with world class facilities. Though the advancements in technology and the use of Information and Computer Technology (ICT) in the classrooms can enable us to learn new skills yet we must consolidate our traditional cultural values and knowledge systems. In view of this we have adopted “Academic and Cultural Leadership” and “Capacity Building of Students” as one of the “Institutional Best Practices”. We seek to develop an immersive atmosphere in the College for students to celebrate our culture and tradition. I m pleased to be a part of this serene and solitary environment of this great educational institute. My hearty thanks to your respected parents, guardians and family for selecting this college for you. I m sure the campus would provide a rich array of opportunities for you to learn, de learn and re learn. Lets us try our best to grow and discover the world of your dreams and aspirations in this intellectual safari with us. With graduation you would be ready to open up new vistas for your professional life which would definitely lead you to be a good human. We have brilliant faculty in our college and all of you must connect with them directly or indirectly to gain much of truth, beauty and wisdom. Nature expects you to work hard and be the fittest to survive through because your success is 90% perspiration and mere 10% is inspiration. Swami Vivekananda has rightly said, ``we are what our thoughts have made us’’. So take care about what you think. Words are secondary but Thoughts live; they travel far.

Dear scholars let your professors be your facilitators, friends, philosophers and mentors of your life.College life is for reaching out to your dreams, passions, and aspirations and to learn care, share and support humanity as a whole for making this world a best place to live. Martin Luther has said that the goal of education must be acquiring intelligence with character. Remember half the battle of life is won just by the uptightness of your character. Our mentors and gurus always push us towards faith, humanity, truth, confidence, optimism, meditation, vision, purpose, potential, discipline and success in life. That’s why we say; Andhere ko paribhashit karte hai guru.But still there is no spiritual teacher than your own soul. Just remember, Jitna kathin sanghrash hoga jeet utni hi shandaar hogi. Aristotle has rightly said, ``educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all’’. Govt. College Ani provides a safe, protective and conducive environment to excel in curricular and extracurricular activities. Let this place of learning unfolds your aspirations and dreams for a bright future.

With this, let us begin our classes with a relaxed body and a cheerful mind.
