GOVERNMENT COLLEGE HARIPURDHAR (GC BAROTIWALA)

The emblem of Government College Haripurdhar (GC Barotiwala) features a circle housing the motifs of a mountain peak with dark blue sky and yellow rising sun and an open book and a banner inscribed with the tagline of the college in Sanskrit which is an extract from the Kathopanishad ‘विद्ययाऽमृतमश्नुते’ (Shloka 11, Ishopanishad), which translates to ‘Immortality is Gained from Learning’.  The circle is ensconced by a yellow circular border bearing the name and place of the college in black. Below the seal, on a yellow banner, the motto of the college in Sanskrit ‘तस्यै तपो दमः कर्मेति प्रतिष्ठा’ (Verse 8, Khanda 4, Kena Upanishad), which translates to ‘Of this Knowledge, Austerity, Self-conquest and Works are the Foundation’ is written. The mountain peaks refers to the Dun Valley at the foothills of the Shivalik Hills, where the college is located; the sun represents life, energy, power, positivity, illumination, light and clarity; the book symbolises the fundamental dissemination of academic education, wisdom and lifelong learning.
