Haryana's Minister of Industry and Commerce and Labour Mool Chand Sharma, has given a big bonanza to the Ballabgarh Assembly constituency. A government co-ed college will be constructed in Sector 23 of Ballabgarh, benefiting the youth of this region and surrounding areas significantly. The admission process for this college has started from this academic session itself. Until the new building of this college is constructed, classes will be held in the Government College Kheri Gujran.

Mool Chand Sharma expressed his gratitude to Chief Minister, Sh. Nayab Singh and Union Minister and Former Chief Minister, Sh. Manohar Lal for ensuring this college project.

He stated that the college named after Shaheed Bhagat Singh is being constructed at a cost of approximately Rs. 90 crore. Until the new building of the college is constructed, classes will be held in the Government College Kheri Gujran. The portal for admissions has been opened.

He also mentioned that previously, a women's college named after Sushma Swaraj was constructed in Sector 2 of Ballabgarh. Today, about 1800 girls are receiving education there. Our region is progressing in the field of education.

Taking a dig at the functioning of the previous government, he said that there were education ministers and MLAs here, but neither was there a school nor a college. The condition of schools in Ballabgarh was poor earlier, and there were no colleges, leading to inadequate education facilities. Our government has constructed several colleges in Palwal and Faridabad. The arrangements in schools have been improved. A Skill University has been established so that the youth can become skilled along with education.

As per the letter issued by the Additional Chief Secretary of the Higher Education Department, the Government Co-ed College has been directed to commence from this academic session 2024-25. The college has been approved to start with 160 seats in the Arts stream with subjects like English, Hindi, History, Political Science, Geography, Economics, Mathematics, Computer Science, and Physical Education, and 80 seats in the Commerce stream.
