The evaluation included interactive sessions with faculty, students, alumni, and parents, and featured a cultural program showcasing the talents of SGC Namchi students.

In the past five years, SGC Namchi has made significant progress by introducing postgraduate programs in Geography, Education, and Commerce. The college has also upgraded its facilities with the establishment of smart classrooms, the functionalization of boys' and girls' hostels, and the initiation of a new science building.

Expressing gratitude for the support received, Principal Dr. Deepak Tewari acknowledged the State government's role in providing modern infrastructure and resources. He also commended the Directorate of Higher Education for their assistance throughout the accreditation process.
