N C College of Engineering is an educational College established
in the memory of Late Lala Nemi Chand Ji, freedom fighter
and eminent social reformer of Bawal, District Rewari, Haryana, which was
the part of erstwhile princely State of Nabha. Born in 1926, Lala Ji was
drawn in to freedom struggle while still a student of only 15 years through
Praja Mandal Movement. Lala Ji was expelled from school, arrested &
imprisoned for distributing banned newspapers, pulling down the Union Jack
from the top of District Headquarters building and burning it. He was kept
in various jails of Punjab where he was subjected to most inhuman forms of
torture and kept in solitary confinement in condemned cells in order to
make him confess. However nothing could break the resolve of this young
fighter.
After the dawn of freedom, Lala Ji launched into doing social work in the
Gandhian spirit. He felt responsible for setting Educational Institutions
and started working on a movement for the removal of Untouchability. For
removing untouchability, he chose to educate the society that no one is
poor except one who is poor in knowledge. He had a firm belief in the
Gandhian theory of education, serving the poor and education to the
downtrodden. He dreamt of erasing poverty and untouchability by setting
multi-purpose higher education institutions. This college is a perpetuation
of his quest for the educational upliftment of the people of his State. It
has been established with the aim of responding innovatively and
effectively to the increasing demand of quality professionals in the area
of technology and management. It is also a tribute to him from his sons and
heirs who have setup an Educational Trust named "Lala Nemi
Chand Eucational Trust" with the objective of realizing his
dream of imparting education to all levels of the society. The Trust is
administering this college along with a few others in North India and
desire to fulfil his dreams of ‘education to all’.
