SAMBA: In a bid to foster the spirit of giving and community engagement, the Yuva Mission, Unnat Bharat, and Shikshit Bharat clubs of Government Degree College (GDC) Vijaypur organized a Book Donation Drive as part of the ongoing “Sewa Parv”. The initiative saw enthusiastic participation from both students and faculty members.
Participants generously contributed a diverse collection of books, including academic texts, reference materials, novels, and self-help guides, which will be distributed to underprivileged students and local libraries in need.
Alongside the drive, the college also hosted a literary event, “Meet the Author”, aimed at promoting regional literature and encouraging students to engage with authors and scholars. The event featured Dr. Manoj Heer, Assistant Professor in the Department of Dogri and a prominent literary figure, as the distinguished guest. Dr. Heer, renowned for his extensive contributions to Dogri literature through books, research, articles, and journals, shared his insights on his writing journey, the nuances of Dogri literature, and the importance of preserving regional languages. His address proved both enlightening and motivational, inspiring students to explore creative writing and literary pursuits.
The twin events were successfully coordinated with the support of faculty members including Prof. Anita Jamwal (Political Science), Prof. Mamta Gupta (Commerce), Prof. Ritu Bhagat (Education), Dr. Anoop Kumar Bhagat (Sociology), Dr. Arti Sharma (Environmental Sciences), Prof. Meetu Sharma (Geography), Dr. Pooja Gupta (Commerce), Dr. Gunjeet Mahiwal (Education), Dr. Anoop Singh (History), and Prof. Sonia Devi (Hindi).
