Our Origins and Story
Govt. Lahiri P.G. College (GLPGC) is situated in Chirimiri, district Koriya of Sarjuga division in Chhattisgarh. The college was established in 1953. It holds the credit of being the third oldest college of the state. The college is presently affiliated to the Sant Gahira Guru University, Ambikapur. Before the establishment of Sant Gahira Guru University; the college was affiliated to Guru Ghasidas Vishwavidyalaya, Bilaspur for quite a long time. The College has 66 acres of land catering to students from the tribal and hilly belt. The institution aims to provide quality education and reach out to all sections of society, especially the socio-economically weaker sections of society. Working on the principles of quality and excellence, the college provides an opportunity to learn and grow. Despite facing many obstacles like lack of funds, shortage of staff and Faculty, the college has been moving forth relentlessly towards its goal of providing quality education and growth for the students of the area. Each and every staff member and faculty is dedicated towards their responsibility towards the institution and the students. Through cooperation and coordination the staff and faculty under the guidance of the Principal are continuously working towards progress and development of the college. Presently the college has 11 Permanent faculties, 17 Guest faculties, 04 Lab Technicians and 15 Non-teaching staff with 15 academic departments. The college is working towards enriching its academics with the introduction of new courses and developing stronger links with the community and industry. The college is forging ahead academically in the streams of Arts, Commerce, Science and Computer Science, suited to meet contemporary needs of youth while giving acknowledgement to the imperatives of pragmatism. It ensures that knowledge never drowns in the sea of information. The college has, equally & convincingly, carved a niche for itself in the realm of co-curricular activities. This is the result of an early recognition of the impertinence of the rounded, well-developed personality, guaranteed by a balanced blend of academic, cultural and sports talent. Students are encouraged to actively participate in a great number of events, organized and promoted by numerous committees. We assure personal attention and care and a healthy environment for the optimum development of the students. Performance is analyzed from time to time through Tests, Examination and Group Discussions. Modes of improvement are suggested and implemented with the help of dedicated and well qualified staff. A good rapport between students and teachers is encouraged for the benefit of the learners.
We believe in the words of Swami Vivekananda who said:
“The goal of man is neither misery nor happiness, but we have to be master of that out of which these are manufactured. We must be masters of the situation at its very root, as it were.”
