Guru Nanak College, affiliated to Punjabi University, Patiala (listed in 12(b) & 2(f) sections of UGC Act 1956) is situated in outskirts of Budhlada city - a small town of district Mansa in Punjab. To tribute the 500th birth anniversary of "Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji", it was started in 1971 by some eminent personalities of the region keeping in mind the noble cause to make affordable education accessible to all the people of this backward, rural and remote area. In the beginning, it was functioning under the local management but later on handed over to SGPC (Shiromani GurdwaraParbandhak Committee, Sri Amritsar Sahib) an apex and philanthropic body of the Sikhs committed to serve the humanity, on 09 November 1994 due to meager financial resources and some other executive problems. It was followed by some significant reforms in both college functioning and infrastructure.
