Shrinkhala: Old Teachers' Association

Shrinkhala was established a few years ago to form a chain and maintain continuity with the superannuated colleagues most of whom retired after giving three to four decades of invaluable service to the College. Many of them were associated right from the year 1964 when it was known as Modern College for Women in those days. Shrinkhala members maintain their connection with college and keep themselves academically active as well by organizing seminars in the college, and sharing their wealth of experience with students and faculty alike. The society organizes a get-together once in a semester where retired colleagues are invited to mingle and also to discuss problems they may be encountering in their lives. The college assists them with pension paper work. The college library has been made accessible to all the retired colleagues who can borrow books and can use research rooms for their individual work. Medical facilities along with counseling services have been made available to them. During the meet, apart from serious discussions, games and activities are also organized. Their inputs with regard to functioning of the college are taken seriously and on every important occasion the college makes it a point to invite them. In the college directory, information about their address and telephone numbers are also given to maintain this continuous link. KNC was the first college to establish this kind of society which is now growing in numbers and stature.
