Rabia Gupta, one of student donors said, I realised that one is never so helpless to be absolutely useless to mankind. If one wishes, he can help others by one mean or the other. Blood is something which is a more meaningful donation, rather than the charity given in monetary form.' The students were also checked for Hemoglobin count & Blood Sugar levels.
Mrs. Rashmi Mittal, Executive Dean-LPU applauded the stretching steps of the students and said, Education is and should not be limited to imparting learning.

Calligraphy, which is simpler words means art of fine hand writing, is fast generating lot of interest amongst younger generation. In keeping with the demand of a sizable number of students to organize a program on calligraphy, LPU invited Shri Anis Siddique a renowned calligrapher to the campus to impart training to the lovers of the art form. The workshop touched all the aspects of the art from imparting theoretical knowledge of its history to writing texts at enhanced level of standards.
Shri Siddique in his address to the learners said, that calligraphy is one of the most ancient art forms, and particularly in India, it was held in high esteem since times immemorial.

The students were offered tutorials in calligraphy with specific devices such as flat- or round-nibbed pens, brush, multi-nibbed pens, felt-tip pens etc. to employ angled lines. Ink for writing purposed was water-based . High quality, porous material like parchment and vellum were used as papers. Daksh Chauhan, a first year student of BA (Performing Arts) said, I am spell bound with the magic that can be created on paper with certain strokes of hand. I have always been appreciated for my good hand; and this is one reason I have become more enthusiastic towards calligraphy. I am going to nurture this as my hobby from now onwards.
Nearly 200 students took training in calligraphy over a duration of 6 days, with many expressing the desire to take an enhanced level coaching for furthering refinement of the skills acquired during the program. Mrs. Rashmi Mittal, Executive Dean -LPU said, If there is any art that a student can relate the most with education is calligraphy.
