Message From the Founder President

Dr. A.K. Sharma

Going down the memory lanes. I joined Govt. College Dharmsala 68 years ago as a student of FSc. Medical. Time flies—and in 1990 I was assigned the job to form the Old Students Alumni of our alma mater. As Founder President with a dedicated Secretary and Chairmen of various committees we organized a very successful Reunion on 9, 10 and 11 November 1991 and pledged to present a Library Block to our alma mater as a gesture of gratitude.

This year is a great landmark of our alma mater completing 100 years. I am sure the vigour and zeal of the dedicated executive committee led by versatile President Mr. Sanjeev Gandhi will keep the OSA flag flying high. My best wishes and blessings for the forthcoming Reunion in Nov 2026.
