It is a matter of immense pleasure and honour for me to be the Principal of Government College Balakot which is the secod biggest boys’ college of Mansehra JMC with respect to capacity, achievements of faculty and students, multiple educational activities, students’ enrollment, successful BS system and space. The feeding area of this college is a fertile land with reference to natural talent of its inhabitants.
Government College Balakot was established in 1975 as Degree College in a single academic block. Professor Rasheed Ahmad was the pioneer Principal of this college.

The segment of Sports is the mandatory and integral part of academics of an educational institution. Playground plays a pivotal role to conduct sports activities in an institution. The main deficiency of GC Balakot has been the lack of proper college playground on account of which enthusiastic students of this college quenched their thirst of playing cricket on a small piece of land vacated by removing debris of demolished old college building damaged during devastating Earthquake 2005.
