HASSAN SHAH KHOIHAMI MEMORIAL GOVERNMENT DEGREE COLLEGE (HKM GDC)

HASSAN SHAH KHOIHAMI MEMORIAL GOVERNMENT DEGREE COLLEGE (HKM GDC)

The emblem of Hassan Shah Khoihami Memorial Government Degree College (HKM GDC) features a green grassland, mountains and blue sky, a blooming lotus, an open book, a waterbody, the text ‘Light Upon Light’ and Urdu text ‘نورٌ علىٰ نور’ in the form of a circle. These are ensconced by a blue circular border inscribed with the name and place of the college. The name of the college in Urdu is written on a red banner placed below the seal and the year of establishment of the college is written at the bottom. The mountains and the grassland reflect the physical location of the college campus resting atop a picture-perfect hill in Patushai; the book and the waterbody functions as a double metaphor representing both the pursuit of knowledge and the majestic Wullar Lake, onto which the campus directly overlooks; the lotus symbolises purity, resilience and the innate intellectual potential of students.
