Welcome to GDC Kishtwar, a dynamic center of academic excellence attracting students and faculty from across the district and beyond. As a prominent institution in Kishtwar, the college is a source of pride for this region known for its sapphire and saffron.

Building on the work of my esteemed predecessors, I am committed to maintaining the college as a beacon of knowledge, freedom, and learning for both students and staff. I am privileged to be in a position where I can address and resolve the challenges faced by our students, enhancing their educational experience.

My priorities include fostering an inclusive institution with outstanding academics, innovative research, engaging co-curricular activities, and modern, accessible infrastructure. I represent the dedicated faculty and staff whose hard work and commitment define our college, as well as the students and alumni who have significantly contributed to its prestige.

GDC Kishtwar consistently excels in academics, extra-curricular, and co-curricular activities. I strive to cultivate an environment of discipline and mutual respect, working towards our shared goal of intellectual, moral, and educational excellence. As our teaching and learning methods evolve, we aim to develop global leaders who will responsibly contribute to society and nation-building. We are deeply grateful for the continuous support of all our stakeholders—alumni, students, current and past staff, and the broader community—as we reach for new heights.
