D’ Lang Chaps, The literary and managerial society of the college is fueled and driven by the aforementioned beliefs. The first society to come into existence in the college, DLC was a brainchild of a small group of students. From its inception in 2006 to the present, DLC has come a long way, treading tough paths, replete with challenges, thus making an eventful and a memorable journey. A feature that distinguishes this dynamic society from other societies is that at DLC we believe in making a difference, we believe in achieving quantifiable outcomes. We believe in adventurous initiatives and meticulous planning and flawless execution of events and activities right through the year. Under the able and dynamic leadership and guidance of our convenor Dr. Seema Singh, the society has been making rapid strides. Her unflinching support over the years has lent tremendous impetus to the fortunes of this society.
We take pride in being one of the most active societies of GTBIT. DLC organises diverse activities such as seminars, literary events, ranging from debates and poetry competitions and also events like open mics and squid games. DLC aims to make the students proficient in communication and public speaking through a host of informative events and its deep love for all things literary. DLC students also take part in the inter college events within IPU and other universities as well. DLC has an active social media presence as well. DLC also holds the distinction of being the the most active literary society in IPU, and rivals the literary societies of other colleges as well.
DLC’s focus has always been on tapping the raw potential of young minds and nurturing individual creativity. It also aims at inculcating excellent communication skills, team building spirit and confidence among the students, thereby making them capable of taking on any audience through open communication, shared responsibilities and effective organisation in order to produce world-class professionals.
Rene Descartes’ famous statement “Cogito ergo sum” (English: “I think, therefore I am”) is the society’s official motto. This motto has found avid believers in the Chaps. It is precisely this belief that instils in us the enthusiasm and the robustness to work wonders in the context of holistic development of the mind and the soul of those associated with it. It is a gathering of kindred spirits who feel that language, the literary arts , the art of communication and the acquisition of soft skills are means of celebrating life and we intend to celebrate! It is this belief which feeds and drives DLC. People question the need of literary society in a technical institution but we have always stressed upon diversifying and making education a complete and an all-inclusive process. DLC has always been driven by passion and never numbers. The society has consistently striven for creating a congenial environment for the literary and art enthusiasts of the college. We meet to inspire and share our own literary learnings with others. We are guided by a resolve to enrich the literary climate of the institute.
We endeavour relentlessly to fine-tune the attitudes, values, beliefs, motivation, desires, feelings of our student community. The society instils among the students the eagerness to learn, the willingness to share and embrace new ideas, goal orientation, flexibility, persuasion, futuristic thinking, and various skills sets of communication, manners and etiquette so that they will be able to deal with different situations diligently and responsibly. DLC is zealously inclined to improve the human potential of our students. Enabling and empowering them is the DLC mission.
