I am honoured and privileged to have this opportunity to lead the Government Degree College Banihal, one of the premier Institutes of Higher Education in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. The college was created to meet out the demands of the local community, and ever since its inception in 2008, it has grown and shown a tremendous commitment to education and innovation and towards serving the needs of the region and the UT as a whole. I envisage delivering the leadership with highest degree of honesty, integrity, resilience and perseverance. I wish to contribute towards the empowerment of budding minds through the pursuit of education, learning, research and innovation. I shall ensure that the college will grow as an institution of excellence in higher education, continuously responding to the changing social structure and realities through the creation and application of practical knowledge, student centric holistic development and a just and impartial society that nurtures innovation, sustainability and humanity.

Here we have a positive pooling of energy of the faculty, staff and students who are always eager to enrich the institution. We encourage policies and practices that support healthy student activities, helping to create an environment where learning takes place both inside and outside of the college campus. I thank all my staff members for their dedication and commitment towards the overall development of the institute and also for their cordiality, patience and timely response in the management of student related, academic and administrative matters. I cordially welcome the young aspiring students to this institute and wish best for their academic and moral development.

Live Long and Prosper!!
Dr. Shalini Sharma
