| GOVERNMENT DEGREE COLLEGE, PADDER
(GDC PADDER) |
The emblem of Government Degree College, Padder (GDC Padder) features a traditional diya in the colours of National Flag with a glowing orangish flame supporting an open book. The lamp is inscribed with the year of establishment of the college, the motto of the college in Sanskrit ‘बुद्धिर्ज्ञानेन शुद्ध्यति’ ((Shloka 109, Adhyay 5, Manu Smriti) and (Shloka 72, Adhyaya 46, Uttara Ardha, Kashi Khanda, Skanda Purana)), which translates to ‘Intellect is Cleansed by Knowledge’ and the initials of the college ‘G.D.C. Padder’. The book represents formal education, the accumulation of learning and the storehouse of information accessible to the students; and the flame of the diya signifies the light of wisdom, enlightenment and the ultimate destruction of the darkness of ignorance through higher education. The colour saffron or orange represents courage and sacrifice; white represents purity and truth; and green represents growth, prosperity and fertility.
