Akhnoor, Dec, 25
Govt. Degree College, Akhnoor organized a cross- cultural get-together on the eve of Christmas and New Year here today.
In an impressive function held on the last working day before the winter holidays, the staff and students belonging to different faiths and cultural identities at college exchanged their good wishes on the Christmas and New Year 2010, and prayed for peace, religious harmony and co-existence in the world today.
Official spokesperson Dr M Ashaq Malik Assistant Prof of Botany, stated that a cross-cultural lunch was served on the occasion, besides the traditional cake-cutting ceremony.
Principal of the College, Prof. (Dr) Kaushal Smotra, who presided over the function, said that celebration of Christmas in an institution where hardly one or two Christian students are studying is a new beginning to show respect and tolerance against other religions. She said this spirit should continue in all educational institutions to promote communal harmony, mutual understanding, non-violence and peace in our world.
