 Message from the Vice Chancellor

Welcome to Punjabi University

Punjabi University, Patiala is a premier institution of learning. Established on April

30, 1962, it was endowed with a mandate to further the noble cause of Punjabi language,
literature and culture.
The University has not only contributed immensely to the development of Punjabi
language, literature and culture but has also emerged as a key institution for imparting
teaching and for carrying out research in life sciences, physical sciences, medicine,
engineering and technology, business studies, law social sciences, languages, education,
information sciences and arts and culture. Ensuring quality education has been on top of the
agenda of this University. It is a matter of satisfaction that NAAC has awarded the
University 'Five Star' grade in the first cycle (2002-07) and 'A' grade in the second (2008-13)
and the third (2016-23) cycles.
The University's performance in sports and games has been equally unmatched as it
has the distinction of winning 10 times the Maulana Abul Kalam Azad (MAKA) Trophy
awarded by Government of India to the Best Performing University for promoting
competitive sports at the University level.
Currently, the University has 74 teaching and research departments. It has been
untiringly fulfilling the requirements of a large part of Punjab, mainly the Malwa region,
through its 278 affiliated colleges, 14 constituent colleges, five neighbourhood campuses and
four regional centres.
In taking forward the mission of Punjabi University for promoting Punjabi language,
literature and culture and in its pursuit of excellence in higher education, the endeavour is
to make the University a natural home for the germination and cross-pollination of ideas; a
Centre of academic excellence promoting access to inclusive and quality education; a
knowledge cluster in partnership with neighbouring institutions of higher learning, industry

2
and civil society; an institution attracting and retaining internationally acclaimed faculty;
and a premier institution producing highly employable and committed students imbued with
critical thinking, scientific temper and humane, secular and ethical values.
In the light of the above, Punjabi University is amongst the best destinations for fresh
admission seekers. I look forward to welcoming new students in the Session 2018-19 to the
Punjabi University, Patiala.

English Translation of University Anthem

True learning induces in the mind service of mankind.
One subduing the five passions has truly taken abode at holy
bathing-spots. (1)
The mind attuned to the Infinite is the true singing of
ankle-bells in ritual dances.
With this how dare Yama intimidate me in
the hereafter ? (Pause 1)
One renouncing desire is the true Sannyasi.
From continence comes true joy of living in the body. (2)
One contemplating to subdue the flesh is the truly
Compassionate Jain ascetic.
Such a one subduing the self, forbears harming others. (3)
Thou Lord, art one and Sole.
Many Thy forms-
The manifold play beyond Nanak's comprehension. (4) (25)
