In her address, Principal Verma emphasised that campus life and student development are deeply interconnected through diverse experiences that extend beyond academics. She highlighted the role of residential arrangements, clubs, and co-curricular activities in shaping essential life skills such as time management, responsibility, and social engagement. She also noted that the New Education Policy (NEP) 2020 supports vibrant campus life, and GCTE Dharamshala is among the most beautiful campuses in the state.
Club Coordinator Prof. Yugraj Singh praised the 2025–27 batch for their joyful spirit and sincere efforts toward environmental stewardship.
