About Tegh
Tegh is the annual magazine of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Khalsa College. First published in 1953, the magazine was envisioned to create a literary culture of reading, discussion, and opining on societal issues. The inaugural edition featured articles, poems, and short stories contributed by the faculty, alongside language-specific sections in English, Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu, showcasing literary works by students. Additionally, it documented student achievements in sports and academics and included photographs capturing the formative days of various college societies and departments.
Since its inception, the magazine has evolved significantly, incorporating articles on college events, detailed reports on the developments of various wings,, faculty achievements, and press releases. Keeping up with the trends of the reading, the magazine is now available in both print and digital formats. Recent editions even include features, such as QR codes linking to student-produced short films, enhancing engagement with readers.
The magazine is created and managed by an Editorial Board reconstituted every two years, comprising a Chief Editor, an Associate Editor, and faculty editors for the English, Hindi, and Punjabi sections. The Student Editorial Board plays a vital role in the magazine's creation, with student editors managing content and graphics. This division is designed to offer students a platform to hone their writing and creative skills both in the domains of writing or content generation and graphic designing, along gaining hands-on experience in publishing.
Through its rich legacy and contemporary approach, Tegh continues to celebrate the creativity, achievements, and spirit of the college community.

With the dedication and sincere efforts of the magazine's core team, section editors (English, Hindi, and Punjabi), and the student editor team, we successfully completed the magazine project within the stipulated time frame and released ‘TEGH’ 2024-25 on 8th May 2025, as a special issue commemorating the 350 years of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji’s Martyrdom.
The magazine had a dedicated section featuring articles of the students on life, teachings, philosophy and literary contributions of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji. The section also included write-ups on the other sikh martyrs who remained steadfast in following the footsteps of Guru Sahib. Various contributions also focused on the historic gurudwaras and the murals of the Guru Sahib present across these architectures. To emphasize the role of history in the present times, a QR code linked to the audio-visual of the college students reciting Guru Tegh Bahadur ji’s bani was also included in the magazine. Besides the special section, college activities, achievements of the students & faculty and literary contributions in English, Hindi and Punjabi were also featured in the magazine as per the tradition.
