New executive body elected for Dharamsala college old students’ assn

In a spirited general assembly held at the auditorium of Government College Dharamsala, the Old Students’ Association elected its new executive body, drawing enthusiastic participation from alumni across generations. The event carried special significance as the college is poised to mark its 100th year of establishment in the near future.

The atmosphere was charged with nostalgia and anticipation as former students from various batches gathered to reaffirm their bond with the alma mater. The outgoing association team, under the leadership of president Col Kartar Singh, was credited with revitalising the association and encouraging a large number of new registrations in preparation for the centenary year.

In a unanimous decision, the general house elected Sanjeev Gandhi as the new president of the association, while Sandeep Mehta was re-elected as general secretary for another term. The gathering extended wholehearted support to the new leadership and pledged full cooperation in all upcoming initiatives.

The election proceedings were conducted smoothly under the supervision of Col Krishan Gurung, the senior-most member present, who served as the presiding election officer.

In his address, newly elected president Sanjeev Gandhi expressed deep gratitude for the trust placed in him. He assured the members that he would honour their expectations and work collectively to ensure that the centenary celebrations of the college are both grand and memorable.

In a gesture reflecting the association’s spirit of goodwill, the house also unanimously passed a resolution to extend congratulations and best wishes to His Holiness the Dalai Lama on his 90th birthday, acknowledging his global message of peace and compassion.
