Hon'ble Shri M. Venkaiah Naidu, Vice President of India and Chancellor, Panjab University, Chandigarh Vice Chancellor's Message One of the premier universities of India, the Panjab University has achieved various milestones since its establishment in 1882 at Lahore and relocation to Chandigarh after the partition of the country. This University, with its Vedic motto 'tamso ma jyotirgamaya', has lead everyone who has been associated with it 'from darkness to light'; it has produced many great statesmen, leaders, industrialists, philosophers, writers, jurists and social workers in service of the nation and the world. Imparting education to the thousands of students every year, the Panjab University has been performing very significant role in fulfilling the dream of 'shikshit bharat, sashakt bharat' (Educated India is Empowered India). It has served the nation to achieve its rightful place in academic world. The Panjab University has been able to advance academic excellence and infuse humanistic and moral values in the lives of young students and researchers. Owing to its inclusive approach, with the fusion of traditional and core subjects and vocational and practical training in various faculties like sciences, arts, engineering, pharmacy, law, language, commerce etc., the Panjab University has achieved 9th rank in the Atal Ranking of Institutions on Innovation Achievements (ARIIA), 2019. The world today is one large global village and Panjab University is setting new standards to impart leadership in coordinating the concerns of various stakeholders. The university has expanded its influence by signing and maintaining more than a hundred MoUs globally. The departments and the centers of the university are encouraged to aim at an interdisciplinary collaboration while evolving projects in order to enable better coordination and sharing of ideas working towards the betterment of the nation. The traditional gaps between pure sciences and social sciences are being filled to facilitate a dialogue among the various disciplines. During the period of last 8-10 months, the university has got sixty projects from various agencies such as Government of India, UGC, DST, MeitY, DBT, ICMR and many others which is an evidence of its commitment to improve academic and research standards. The NSS, Enactus and the Natural Biodiversity groups are regular participants in the inclusive development mission of the nation. The university believes that it owes a responsibility towards the social good. In an effort to quantify its research capabilities, the university has been actively spearheading regional collaboration known as the Chandigarh Region Innovation and Knowledge Cluster (CRIKC). This cluster has 31 institutes sharing their research and other facilities. CRICK corridor has been appreciated by the office of PSA, GoI. In an endeavor to consolidate its contribution and bring out the display of its prototypes to all the interested stakeholders, the office of Vice Chancellor has proposed a Deliverable Gallery of over 50+ deliverables with the desire to bring all researches, products and patents on one common platform. This gallery will play an important role in showcasing the contribution of not only Panjab University but also of all research institutes of the region while providing impetus to entrepreneurship and innovation capabilities. The Panjab University has remained aware of its responsibilities in the emerging world where academia and industry have to come together on one platform to materialize the concepts into real products. Keeping this mission in mind, the University has consolidated seven verticals: the Centre for Industry-Institute Partnership Programme (CIPP), Technology Enabling Centre (TEC), Centre for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (CSDE), BioNest, Centre for Policy Research, University Centre for Sophisticated Analytical Instrumentation Facility (SAIF)and Design Innovation Centre and Institution's Innovation Council (ICC). The Panjab University, having national and international reputation, is committed to advance academic horizon through its socially inclusive, research oriented and nation-building efforts. I hope that the Handbook of Information 2019 will act as a guide to the students aspiring to materialize their dreams by taking admission in the various departments and academic centers of the university and its regional campuses. I wish all the students success in their efforts.
