My College gave me all that I needed- Knowledge, Sports, NCC, Extra curricular activities, friends and most of all the joy of youthful living.
It was the best time of my life and it gave me the perfect take off for life.
With love and gratitude to all my Teachers Miss Nagar and Mrs Taneja and most of all the Principal Mrs Grewal who nourished me. I fondly remember them.

Hi everyone,
There is a saying that a strong building is built on a strong foundation and I fully agree with that.
In my case that ‘strong foundation ‘ was provided by my Alma matar Govt college for women Amritsar.
According to me a strong character should have the following traits ie trustworthiness ,responsibility,fairness in day to day dealings,sincerity and truthfulness as also high integrity.
All these characteristics make you strong and invincible. My teachers were my role models and I learnt to be independent like them by setting a clear vision and developing a positive attitude in life. Among those of my teachers whom I respectfully remember were Ms Sehgal,Ms Avtar Singh and Ms Kalha.
They were always well informed and well prepared,had excellent communication skills and knew how to discipline even the most rebellious of us!Besides they had a positive attitude without any bias against any of the students which is important for building self confidence .They also made the lectures interesting by giving real life examples.While in college
I learnt to inculcate the habit of reading good books,effective time management ,concise note taking and listening skills,ability to debate and share interpretations,work in a group etc.
Thanks for giving me this opportunity of sharing my thoughts about my teachers who shaped my career as an IRS officer in the Indian Revenue Service where I served for 36 long years and rtd as Chief Commissioner of Income tax.

Down memory lane when I think of the time I spent in Government College for Women Amritsar, it reminds me of the carefree and colorful days full of freedom to explore and at liberty to follow my heart, after the strict discipline of the convent school.
The year and a half that I spent in college before my family migrated to the US, provided me an environment for learning dance, music, painting and other creative interests, that motivated me to follow my dream and pursue my life as a performing artiste.

Neelam Man Singh
(Famous Theatre Artist)
A Sangeet Natak Akademi and Padma Shri awardee, the thespian Neelam Mansingh Chowdhry brought the Chandigarh theatre scene to national and international stages. Forever eager to experiment with forms and explore diverse content, Neelam Mansingh has been creating theatrical experiences since the 1980s, and has produced over 20 plays.
Neelam Mansingh grew up in Amritsar in a devout Sikh household. Her father was a doctor. She went on to study Art History at Panjab University in 1971, where she started working under the director and playwright Balwant Gargi, a faculty at the time, out of her own interest. Her commitment to the art form was decided around this time, when she encountered two of Ebrahim Alkazi's productions, Othello and Jasma Odan, in her hometown Amritsar. This experience pushed her to join the National School of Drama in 1975.
After her marriage, she moved to Mumbai with her husband where she worked for some time with other budding theatre artists of the time like Naseeruddin Shah and Om Puri in a group called Majma. In 1980, she moved to Bhopal, where she worked with and learnt from another path-breaking theatre personality, B.V. Karanth at Bharat Bhavan, a state-run multi-art centre. Under Karanth’s guidance, she realised the power of folk theatre forms, and started exploring ways of working with them in the proscenium theatre.
In 1980, she debuted as a director with Jasma Odan, a play from the Bhavai tradition of Gujarat. She shifted to Chandigarh in 1984. This is the city where she developed and established her individual identity through her work. The lack of a serious theatre movement in the city prodded her towards finding the roots of the form in the folk theatre of Punjab.
Her theatre group, The COMPANY (The Centre of Music and Performing Arts, Natya Yatris) took shape in this city. Some of the plays she has directed over the years are Clytemnestra, Nagamandala, Yerma, The Mad Woman of Chaillot, Phaedra, Kitchen Katha, The Suite and Gumm Hai. She has participated in several national and international
In 2014, she was invited by the Opera Circus Company in London to direct Naciketa, written by Chilean-American playwright Ariel Dorfman. Her latest production Black Box (2020) deals with the precariousness faced by humanity due to the Covid pandemic.
Apart from directing, she has taught at the Department of Indian Theatre in Punjab University from 1990 to 2015. After her retirement, she was honoured as a Professor Emeritus of the University. She has also trained film actors in workshops, most notably for Deepa Mehta’s Water, Heaven on Earth, and What’s Cooking.
Her work has created a culture of theatre in the city of Chandigarh and contemporised Punjabi traditional theatre.

I pay my sincerest gratitude to my teachers and my alma mater wherefrom I not only received academic qualification but also imbibed the punjabi culture of compassion, team work, sincerity, dedication and universal service. It was due to these qualities that I internalized there that I rose to the pinnacle as an officer of the Indian Forest Service and had the honour of being the first women in the country to head a State Forest Department.
I wish that in future also the institution excels in grooming the next generation academically as well as impart them high moral values so that they become an asset to the country and do the greatest good for the maximum humanity.

My time spent at S. R. Government College holds a special place in my heart. I learnt invaluable lessons from college inside the classrooms & outside them. The auditorium daunted me but helped me develop my public speaking skills, I carry the psychology lessons with me even today, the techniques & skills acquired in the art classes help me create beauty around me & the innumerable poetry & Shakespeare discussion classes built my life long passion for English literature. There were several teachers who inspired me like Mrs. Khaira, Mrs. Neena Singh & Mrs. Saroj Munjal. Even today I draw from the lessons they taught me & the friends I made at college were for life. I am filled with gratitude for this extraordinary institution & hope that it continues to give direction to students for generations to come.

My name is Vinny Mehra, I am a Quality Control Compliance investigator lead in a leading
Pharmaceutical/Biopharmaceutical organization based in Toronto, Canada with its headquarters in
Switzerland. I have worked in the Pharmaceutical industry with a global experience of 15 years now.
My career kickstarted in 2007 with on campus University placements while in my third semester of
Masters. I owe this to my parents and teachers for the grit, motivation and determination I imbibed from
them which has kept me going till day. I am a proud graduate alumnus of the batch of year 2005 for Government College of Amritsar, Nutrition
and Dietetics. In the years of 2002 to 2005 I spent in the college, I was under the mentorship of Minna
Bagga and Jasmeet Nayyar Ma’am, as they helped me embrace my studies after the heart ache of the
medical exams. I am very punctual and want to do all my work at the right time. Given to my Nutrition’ coaching, I like to
eat plain and healthy food. I enjoy dancing, reading books, playing badminton and cooking in my spare
time. My message to all the students up there is Believe that you are in good hands, never leave your
classes and attend every class.
Story 1:
Sports day, year 2004 A couple of weeks back, in our class WhatsApp chat, we started talking about our college days and the
conversation veered towards our sports day. I enjoyed that conversation so much that I decided to take a
trip down memory lane to reminisce about those days. Our college sports day was the highlight of the second term, which happened after the exams of the
second term. A month or so before the actual sports day, we all trooped to the stadium for our heats. This
was usually a half day and those of us who were not so inclined, used that half day to just chill and gossip
with friends and cheer those who are competing. I was super eager to take part in the march past and auditioned for the same The march past contingent was made up of one girl who would carry the placard with the name of the house followed by the house
captain who carried the flag who would be followed by the march past contingent made up of 30 girls in
10 rows of three girls each. Every one on the field will be in white uniform. Our contingent won the best
contingent for the day and we had this huge trophy to boast about.
I also participated in the spoon race and the sack race, the three leg race and all of them fetched my
medals. We went home tired but happy that day, especially since the next day used to be holiday to help us (and
more likely the teachers) recuperate from a hectic day. This post was a blast to write as memories all kept flooding in and I wrote this post with a huge smile on my face. For most of us, our college days are the golden days which we remember fondly, with all the bad
parts edited out. Maybe it’s our way of keeping our innocent and young years in our heart?

I am Charanjit Rimmi Sobti, very proud of my Alma Mater..S R Govt College For Women,where I spent my beautiful formativ ine years from 1978 to 81.Down the memory lane they were the most colourful days right after the discipline of the school.College for us was a place where you are at a liberty to follow your heart and wear what you desire.When I look back I see exuberance,style and intelligence in my demeanour which I think naturally come with youthful energy.Memories which are very vivid in my mind are my English Honours classes with Mrs. Cheema and Mrs. Munjal.Brilliant students enjoy certain privileges..Hons.class being a small group of girls was conducted out in the open under the shade of some trees ,when everyone else would sit on the floor on a rug..Where I couldn't sit coz of my tight jeans..Mrs Cheema would ask me to pull a chair for myself and reprimand me.. lovingly..for not wearing a suit on the days of this class..which I always forgot. Small anecdotes mark your journey at any place..Pakistan TV serials being a rage those days we saw the auditorium packed to double it's capacity when first power couple of small screen,Rahat Kazmi and Sahira Kazmi of Dhoop Kinare fame came to the college Rahat was every girl's heart throb and Sahira was a fashion and style icon to be followed by every girl.Annual College functions were such a craze as the quality of dances and other skits and dramas were always very good..Rishi Kapurs famous song Daffli waale was one of the memorable stage performances. Unfortunately I never explored my potential in any of the performing arts during this time and never took life seriously.. college meant mauj masti where good marks came without putting in much labour.. for this attitude I still have a big regret, to this day in my life. As luck would have it,I got an opportunity to teach here,after I finished my MA and MPhil in English from GNDU,this was sometimes during the years 1993to 98.My bond with this beautiful college became more robust and vivacious Giving lectures in the same classrooms where we sat some ten twelve years ago and sitting in the same staffroom where we earlier dreaded going are some of the experiences of my memoire.Passing through the corridors of this majestic building on the ground floor,peeping into the classroom,with long french windows opening on to the open area outside,reminded me of ..otherwise.. loving Mrs Thukral ,our Philosophy teacher,who once took our gang to the Principal's office for our unruly behaviour in the classroom,for which I am truly ashamed now.But at that point of time,I don't know what led us to a barrage of giggles and laughter bouts.There are memories of our NCC class and innumerable canteen scenes..It's hustle and bustle and the ensuing noise are very much still alive in my memory.Eating aaloo ki tikki rolled up in a kulcha with onion and chutney on top was the ultimate gastronomic delight.A beautiful friend from this gang called, Vinay Kapoor became a victim of Covid,how I wish she was alive to be able to read all this.She is a part of most of my college memories.Hanging around in the College compound in the free periods and gossiping about love affairs of girls and who all wore make up to college,about Paki serials and Bollywood movies,infact all inane things,the topics were endless and so was the resultant happiness..Can't believe this was some forty years ago,so much water has flown under the bridge since then.Much later I again went to the College as a panelist to speak on the menace of Dowry System,which some Rotary club of Amritsar had organised,for the benefit of young girls who were to get married soon so that they could have an opinion of their own.It will take a lot more space to pen down what all is etched on the ,,"inward eye" of my mind.. memories which are an entrenched part of my bond with the college..but may not appear valuable to others.

College memories are some of the most cherished in my life. Whether it's making lifelong friends, or exploring new interests, there's a lot to look back .
I admire and missed the most is our Nutrition Department where we have spend most of our time , the most fun loving part of that department was our cafeteria although tiring but we learnt a lot during that time and all thanks to our teachers for such wonderful exposure.
Sometime bunking classes to spend time with friends in collge canteen or hiding in college hostel was few mischievous activities we enjoyed the most. On the hall our college culture was quite favourable for students, teachers being always very helpful , Nutrition lab gave us exposure to latest equipments.
I really miss my college, and I don't miss a chance to visit even now .

Saroop Rani Government College for Women – my Alma Mater sparks nostalgia. It reminds me of a second home that it was for me as I stayed in the hostel. This institution shaped my destiny. It took me where I am today – Adviser and Head of the International Department of the Reserve Bank of India, the country’s central bank. I am ever grateful to my Professors, who groomed me in Economics, Geography, English and General Studies during the special classes of the Career Wing (a scheme of scholarship introduced by Government of Punjab), which I joined (1982-84) after an interview held at my entry to the College. I bow my head in reverence as I remember my stay in the hostel as well the college in strengthening my faculties as I prepared for my future. I am certain that the College will go from heights to even greater heights in sharpening girl minds and mentor them to take on big responsibilities in life.

I also recall the lessons in Psychology, especially those dealing with human behaviour, and how I connected these with the characters found in books. These observations have later proven invaluable in administration!
Warm bonds, friendships that blossomed, and vibrant interactions with teachers like Mrs. Urmil Khairah, Mrs. Saroj Munjal, Mrs. Neena Singh, Mrs. Mohanjeet Sethi, Mrs. Gajendra Singh, and Ms. Soni – these are the rich, precious memories of this beautiful institution that I will always treasure, and which have become a part of my very being.

When I visited my Alma mater after more than four decades, my heart missed a beat. I was so excited that words cannot explain. The picturesque view of the flower laden gardens of the campus was a site for the eyes to behold. I took a stroll down the memory lane and snippets of college life were rewinding in front of my eyes. As I moved through the classrooms, the auditorium, the hostel and a glance at the pictures of Principals that adorn the wall of staff room- a wave of nostalgia washed over me. It transported me back to those golden college days that I still cherish even after 45 years.
Being an athlete, the college playground holds a million memories of scrapped knees, bruised elbows and cheerful waves of family while getting badges of honour. As if my Alma mater was waiting to embrace my return.
My dedicated teachers, my mentors and friends all played a great role in polishing my personality. Today, what I am and whatever I have achieved, I owe it to Saroop Rani Government College for Women, Amritsar.
It is heartwarming to see that the legacy of such a wonderful organisation continues to shape the lives of today’s young girls just as it did for us years ago. I wish and pray that my Alma mater keeps serving the education sector as one of the Premier Education Institute of Punjab.
Eagerly waiting for a reunion with my batch mates

I am gratified by the affectionate gesture of the Principal, staff and the students of the college in remembering me-one of the oldest students of the college which in my days was known as Stratford College of Amritsar, rivalled only by Kinnaird College Lahore in the entire Punjab before 1947. The college was then headed by Principal Dr. Miss Feroze-ud-din, DLitt. Oxford, ably assisted by Dr. Miss Phillips (Philosophy), Dr. Miss. Dournwal, Allahabad University (History), Dr Miss Kumar from Benares University (Sanskrit), Miss Abdulla, (English) sister of Sheikh Abullah, a gold medallist and others. They were all inspiring personalities. The college excelled in studies as well as sports. (We wrested the All-Punjab Netball Trophy from Kinnaird College when I was captain of the team) and other inter college extra-curricular activities like drama, debates, mushairas, winning prizes and trophies galore.
I thank you all who have relived for me so many beautiful memories of my dear old college.

Let me take you back in time to the year 1975 when I joined this college as a student of B.A. Ist year (Maths Honors). The college was known not only for its high academic standards, high cut off for admission but also for prize winning participation in youth festivals and other extra-curricular activities. It was "The College" of that time in Punjab where only the best students were admitted and good education imparted. I will always be grateful to the then Principal Mrs. H. Sarwan Singh, my teachers - just to name a few Late Mrs. Bakshi, Mrs. Saroj Munjal and Mrs. Neena Singh who always encouraged me at every stage. I am very proud that my college innings started with G.C.W.

Over the years I have observed this college develop and emerge as a prominent institute of learning for girls of this region. Today, when the existence of the girl child is threatened by a slewed vision of our society, the college is doing a commendable job in equipping the students not only with academic degrees but also in imbibing a spirit of confidence and self- reliance in them. Once on their own, they will definitely contribute positively in the eradication of social evils because, I believe, illiteracy and ignorance are the root cause of all social maladies like dowry, female foeticide, domestic violence etc. A literate girl is a boon to the society. May God give you the strength to excel in whatever you do.
With best wishes and Blessings.

College doing my prep (Pre-University) and B.A. were amongst the happiest years of my life. I often recall those enjoyable days, full of fun, laughter and of course-FASHION. College was so much fun that we wanted to spend the whole day there. Kiran Bedi was two years my senior and Neelam Man Singh was one year ahead of me. Those were great days and we used to win every English Declamation, Poetry Recitation or Drama Contest, held by any educational institution in North India. Most of the girls in my batch are now grandmothers and are leading successful business and family lives whether in India or abroad. This is probably due to the values ingrained in us by our families and strengthened by our college professors. I am sure the present students of the college will gain even more from their days spent here. The college has taught me to look for the good m every person and, in every situation, and I am happy to say that I am always able to find it. My advice to all the college girls is, 'There are unique moments in life, that pass like a dream. One must catch them on the wing for they never return". Enjoy your college days.

It is a matter of great pride for me to be a part of this great institution which taught me something beyond the regular syllabus i.e. the true lesson of life.
I had the proud privilege of studying in Govt. College for Women, Amritsar, a premier centre of higher learning. During my stay in the college, I was not only excited but also enjoyed thoroughly the freedom of cycling to the college. I distinctly remember the icy-cold morning when I used to sit for my college examination. I had some excellent teachers especially for Maths and History. I also recall my close association with Neelam Man Singh, a theatre personality and Kiran Bedi, the first woman I.P.S. officer of the country. My city Amritsar has produced illustrious women who have done extremely well for themselves and were highly emancipated and forward-looking. Deepa Mehta, my cousin in one of such examples. My heartfelt best wishes to the teachers, staff and students of SRGCW. May it always be a beacon of light for the women of Amritsar & beyond.

Fifty-one years ago - a dream was born in the starry eyes of a girl, Sunita Sehgal, who just finished Matriculation from Alexandra high school - to be a collegiate in one of the most prestigious college-not only of Amritsar the entire Punjab-G.C.W. Amritsar (Its name way back in 1973)!!!
Thus began my tryst with my alma mater as a Pre-University student and in its corridors and classrooms, I was trained for several life skills. This institution has shaped and moulded me not only as a student, a teacher or a principal but as a human being-above all.
My teachers, friends, colleagues and students all have contributed significantly - one way or the other-in honing not only my academic skills but motivating me to excel in public speaking/debate/quizzing/histrionics/creative writing-to evolve as a multifaceted individual.
My bond with my alma mater covers a span of four decades and it has been and will always be very close to my heart. I wish my college (Now-S.R. Government College for Women) continues to be a beckon of light to countless more starry-eyed entrants in the coming years.
Amen
