The Government Degree College for Boys (Urdu, گورنمنٹ ڈگری کالج اننت ناگ) is an educational Institute in South Kashmir. It is one of the biggest colleges of Jammu and Kashmir, headquartered in Anantnag. It was established in 1950 as an intermediate college. M.M Fazili, O.N Koul, Peerzada Ali Mohd and G.M Bhat laid the foundation for the college's future progress and development.[1]
Facilities
The college has a library, housed in a newly constructed building, and about 56,000 books in addition to subscriptions to local, national and international magazines, journals and other periodicals. Some departments also have departmental libraries.[2]
Other academic facilities include a study center for Indira Gandhi Open University.[3]
Physical education and first aid health care facilities are available.[2]
Mission
- Equip the clientele with meaningful skills.
- Work in the direction of achieving autonomy with respect to course selection, evaluation and administration.
- Keep the academic and the non-academic faculty abreast of the changing trends vis-à-vis professional expertise.
- Create conditions and infrastructure to enable “the institution with a potential for excellence” to become a university.
- Focus on societal development and research.
Hostel
The College Hostel provides accommodation to at least 120 students at a time. Unfortunately the hostel is currently being occupied by security forces and the students from afar have to make their own arrangements at higher costs and less convenience.
The college authorities are hopeful of getting the hostel back as soon as the security forces vacate.
