“Anything in life worth having is worth working for”
Education is the basis of all progress. It is for this very reason that we forayed into education, in 1953 and founded the oldest college of Pathankot, S.M.D.R.S.D College. Here, we impart education that is based on conscience and we rear a genus of young minds that are bustling with self-confidence, motivation and ever ready to take up the challenges. Our genuine concern ensures student’s emotional growth along with intellectual excellence. Our ardent effort has always been, and will be reaching our students into the first category of people who must be committed to serve the nation. Only one relation must reign in our heart and mind “Vasudev Kutumbakam”. The seeds of a pious idea sown in 1953 by the founder president of the college Choudhary Kesho Das quickly came to fruition and the college is fulfilling all the goals aspired by him. At S.D College we are imparting an all-round education to young students so that they become multi-dimensional rather than uni-dimensional. Here, we firmly aim to evaluate our students on the basis of physical, mental, social, emotional and intellectual development. At S.D, the curriculum is designed to ensure that every student achieve to the very best of his ability and potential. It is wonderful to look back at the last few years at S.D, when there is so much to celebrate and feel proud. University merit holders, gold and silver medals in athletics and different sports, N.CC cadets visiting to various places of India and learning new things, participation in youth festivals and so on. The success of S.D College in all spheres is combined product of all our efforts.
I feel proud to acknowledge the contribution of highly qualified and dynamic faculty, non-teaching staff and undoubtedly the students of the college for this. Eminent dignitaries from different spheres of life are invited to the college to inspire the young generation of our college to expose them to new ideas and thoughts.
I wish all the students the best of luck in all their future endeavors.
