ABOUT
Overview
Aaroh Tamso Jyoti-May we rise from darkness to light, i.e. from ignorance to knowledge-the motto of Centre of Excellence, Government College, Sanjauli, Shimla-6 compels one to halt at its portals and ruminate on the value-oriented education being imparted by this premier institution of Shimla. The College enjoys the distinct position of being the first Degree College to have been set up in Shimla on July 1, 1969. In a pilot project of the HP State government to establish Centres of Excellence in some of the districts, this was the first and only college to be given the status/title with effect from 12th January, 2006. Situated at a distance of about 2kms from The Ridge, it is easily accessible from Sanjauli, Lakkar Bazaar and the Circular Road. Its idyllic location within the urban forest of the town amidst lush green cedars and oaks adds to the ambience required for academic and creative pursuits.
