The Sikh Educational Society ventured into the realm of higher education with the establishment of the first Sikh National College, Lahore in 1937-38. This college was later re-established at Qadian (Punjab) in 1948. It was followed by the opening of the Sikh National College at Banga (Punjab) in 1953.
Under the visionary leadership of the fore-sighted Sikh leaders, the Society further expanded its academic domain by setting up 4 premier educational institutions in Chandigarh, namely Guru Gobind Singh College for Women, Sri Guru Gobind Singh College, Sri Guru Gobind Singh College of Pharmacy and Sri Guru Gobind Singh Collegiate Public School.
The Sikh Educational Society, with its proactive approach and relentless efforts, is managing six educational institutions with the objective of imparting comprehensive modern education with an ethical dimension. Tenets of Sikhism are the abiding values on which the Management and staff base their functioning. The main endeavour of the SES has been to provide a modern educational, cultural and social environment to the students of this region.
The invaluable vision, varied experiences and constant encouragement of the members of the Sikh Educational Society contributes tremendously towards the growth of the College. They have armed the College with modern infrastructure and latest pedagogical aids which are used effectively by the highly motivated staff and students.
