Pt. Mohan Lal SD College for Women, Gurdaspur had its humble beginning in 1995. The college is founded and crafted on the lofty ideals of Pt. Mohan Lal Ji, an immortal luminary, a paradigm of perfection, and a true Karamyogi who served as former Home, Finance, Education, and Industries Minister, Punjab.
He disseminated his ideas of giving women education a new introduction, and the college is the result of the same. For his commendable services to the cause of Education, GNDU bestowed upon him the ‘Honoris Causa’ Degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Today his equally dedicated son, Sh. Upkar Krishan Sharma Ji, worthy President of G.G.D.S.D College society, Chandigarh, is following in the footsteps of his revered father.
