College (KPGC) should open up new skill-based job oriented courses like nursing and paramedical so that it can contribute more to the society.

The government will extend full support to KPGC in opening new professional courses, said deputy chief minister Dinesh Sharma during the 48th foundation day celebration of the institute on Monday.

“In 2019, chief minister Yogi Adityanath inaugurated the new building on the college campus. I am happy that the classes of science faculty will shortly begin in the new building,” said the Dy CM, the chief guest.

He said new professional courses like nursing and paramedical, if launched, could offer good job prospects to students. The government will provide full support to the college in this initiative. All colleges should upgrade their courses as per the need of the industry and at the same time should work towards teaching and promoting Sanskrit language, he added.

Uttar Pradesh Basic Education minister Satish Chandra Dwivedi, who was the special guest on the occasion, expressed thanks to a former student and veteran BJP leader late Lalji Tandon for the development and growth of the college over the years.

State urban development minister Ashutosh Tandon, who was also present during the celebration, congratulated the college on its foundation day and said, “The college should continue imparting quality education and aim at touching new heights by offering multidisciplinary courses.”

Illustrious alumni like the renowned author Amritlal Nagar and Babushyam Sunder Das, noted historian Prof BN Puri and others were remembered during the celebrations, which saw cultural dance, music and play performances by the students. Newly-appointed principal Chandra Mohan Upadhyay said, “We are already a NAAC ‘A’ grade institute now we will work harder to make Kalicharan figure in the top 10 colleges of the country."
