The Gymkhana way

Life at Jamalpur Gymkhana is a healthy blend of academics, practical workshop training, sports, cultural activities and travel. The spirit of the place is embodied in the 'Armorial Bearings and Code of Conduct of the Jamalpur Gymkhana'.

The wings of progress are placed prominently on top with a pair of calipers passing through them indicating a practical measuring instrument symbolizing control by measurement. The shield is equally between the tiger representing strength and proud leader among living creatures of the world and an assembly of a shaft running through the boss of a spoked wheel which typifies design, machinery and production.

The scroll above the shield carries the motto “Sapientia Et Labor”, Latin for wisdom and labour. The free translation would appropriately be through theory and practice.

The colours are Maroon, White and Green. Maroon for strength and depth of learning, white for purity and balance of approach and green for nature realism and practice.

The Gymkhana is a mini society; isolated from the rest of the town by a stark contrast of lifestyle. Gymmies, as its inhabitants refer to themselves, learn quickly that a society can thrive only if it establishes guiding principles and cherishes its values. The member elected Management Committee upholds a Code of Conduct that is widely respected by the Gymkana

• Self discipline is the most important discipline
• Give to others freely and deserve to receive
• The most valuable assets one could hope to acquire are the qualities of a gentleman
• Traditions of an institution are held in trust by its members
• Neglect not a sacred duty
