“Ceremony is a source of joy.”
Educational institutions have their unique traditions. Some educational institutions excel in academics, some in Sports and some in other literary and other extra-curricular activities. I am lucky enough to seek admission in such a college as enjoys the most renowned and historical reputation throughout the country. Govt. College Karachi is repleted with academic and extra-curricular activities assets. Its functions and are well-known all around. One of the main Ceremonies ceremonies of our college is the prize distribution ceremony. It is quite colorful, and fascinating event of the college. Undoubtedly it is a gala day of college history.
This year our college prize distribution ceremony was held in December. The mild cold of winter was celebrated with the warmth of the spirit of joy. The ceremony was scheduled on 15th December in Quaid Hall. The Director of Education was the chief guest on this occasion.[the_ad id=”17141″]
