Large Number of Foreign Students Heading Punjab

A large number of foreign students are preferring to get admission in the Punjab state. Lovely Professional University has a lion share of such admission of International students from 15 different countries including South Korea, Kenya, Sudan, Bhutan, Nepal, UK, Indonesia, Malaysia, Tanzania, Bangladesh, Yemen etc. As per the present registrations and enquiries, LPU expects to have at least 200 foreign students to be admitted in different programmes on its rolls in different departments. At LPU, the present rate of admission of such students is 150% more than the previous year.

Infact these students have fairly recognized Punjab state as a hub of technical education,. Judging well the potentialities of the institutions, they prefer to get admission in an institution/University which they feel have complete international standards to impart proper industry based and on world level acceptable education. Lovely Professional University is their first choice, in this regard. Having world class amenities, students from more than 15 Foreign Countries are already feeling at ease here.

Two of such students, Koo Jung Sung From South Korea and Yahya Faizal Saeed From Tanzania, who have already come to the university and are doing an Engish Language Programme in the university say: “While being at LPU we feel just being in our own country as the fellow students and other members of the University try to accommodate us in every possible way, in spite of certain barriers of language, culture etc. However, the culture of India especially Punjab is very rich. It allows us to get involved and mixed with others and be its own”

In this context, The Executive Dean of LPU, Mrs Rashmi Mittal Said “Lovely Professional University is determined right from the beginning to see Punjab grow like anything in the realms of modern education patterns and be a great part in contribution towards India’s uprising as “Vishv Guru” once again. The world has recognized its dynamism, now it is proving didactic supremacy also in terms of dissemination of knowledge to the persons of many other countries”

Lovely Institute of Technology Feels Proud to Produce Jewel like Lieut. Amanat Jagjit Singh

Whenever a producer sees the better products out of his all inputs, his head is, obviously, held high in esteems. His joys know no bounds and out of unexplainable hilarity, he keeps fluttering to share and let others make to sing the saga of success, thus achieved. Lovely Institute of Technology has also much to tell about its many brilliant, meritorious, hard-working and devoted students who are always keen to maintain an aura of dignity and decorum around their ‘alma mater’ LIT. They keep holding aloft its already briskly furling flag to the sky-soaring heights to guide others to be a great part of this humane hold.
 
At present, one of such miraculously successful alumni of LIT to sing about is Amanat Jagjit Singh. Sainik Welfare Society is honouring him through the hands of Minister for Information & Public Relations, S Sewa Singh Sekhwan, Government of Punjab for his radiance revealed only a few days back at Indian Military Academy where he had proved his grand built-up through his out-shining performance to stand at number one for the training meted out to 103 technical graduates.  Prior to this, he has already been honoured with the highest award through the hands of the Governor of Arunachal Pradesh, General J J Singh, for being First in order of merit.
 
After the end of a year's robust military training based on so many courses, the evening before the passing out parade and the great Day of Ceremony itself can never fade from the deep seated memories of all Gentleman Cadets at the Indian Military Academy in Dehra Dun. And, for the persons like Amanat Jagjit Singh who has come out in flying colours  excelling 103 other competing Gentleman Technical Graduates, it will be ever fresh as the morning dew drops. The great pride of LIT from where he has completed his B Tech( Mech.), he always exhibited outstanding performance in each and every sphere. He always used to tell his class fellows about his great aspirations to serve the motherland as a great army officer.
 
Born in the family of an army officer (Father) & a KV Teacher (Mother), Amanat always proved as a promising offspring of his parents through his illustrative performances whether being in the field of sports/studies/social/stage performances. On asking about Amanat, his elated mother said: “He carries a personality which comprises of creativeness, sportsmanship and humility that helped him to bring laurels mainly to the institution where he could develop all the qualities in relation to his success.”
 
Crossing the threshold of training centre, now he is to form the strength of the Indian Army being commissioned as a Lieutenant in one of the great regiments of the great Indian Army. And, Seeing him closely, crowns, ribbons, and stars-studded, holding the coveted ‘Cane with a Brass Knob’ signifying power and authority & wearing a Uniform of great national importance, will really be the scene of much excitement and enchantment when one day he proves to command the Indian Army and awarding one other brilliant student of LIT reminding him all the shaping he got through his concerned ones while being at LIT. Amen!

In order to let its students of MBA have a great International Business Exposure, the School of Business of Lovely Professional University has arranged a four weeks’ educational tour to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in United States for the second batch its students. A group of 15 students and a faculty member has proceeded under a definite schedule of interesting opportunities for interaction with American culture both on the UNC campus and in the community, from June13 to 7th July. Already, a group of 62 MBA students have visited USA under such a Programme.

Under this programme students will (i) learn the importance of the global perspective to a business manager in relation to finance, management, marketing, and other major areas of business(ii) become more comfortable and confident when interacting with American and international business people(iii) see business skills in a global context and understand that the appreciation for travel and a compassionate world view are assets in this field(iv) observe campus and American culture through visits to UNC Charlotte classes and various community sites(v) strengthen business communication skills by encouraging cultural interaction and understanding, and(vi) access the educational resources of the University like library, computer labs and language labs as well as other facilities.

During their four weeks long trip to USA, the students will visit eminent corporate houses like office of IBM and Federal Reserve Bank of America amongst many others. This exposure is going to accord them with important know-how and expertise for prevailing business culture in technology and management oriented organizations. This is going to help the students to gain an insight into the functioning of business houses of the most robust and the largest economy of the world.

Two visiting students Sonam and Shabeena of MBA International Exposure Said: “We always wanted to learn about international business practices and work philosophy in practical shape. This opportunity will really help us to have more knowledge of business operations to make us more adaptable professionals.” On the same lines, Gangesh and Rajinder of MBA Hons were of the view that Charlotte Region being a hub of almost all business activities with hundreds of foreign owned firms, “we all will be able to interact with great business people to discuss solutions for current business issues in the global economy.”

Bidding farewell to the touring group, the Chancellor of LPU, Sh. Ashok Mittal anticipated that the students would make efforts to gain the maximum out of the visit. Stressing the need for an acquaintance regarding global business culture, he said: “ Globalization is the single largest factor to govern the business scene in India and abroad. Those who remain unaware and ignorant of customs and cultures outside their own can never be successful in the present scenario. Professionally skilled persons should not confine themselves to Indian job markets only. The world has opened up and is mainly and primarily one single global village in regards to business. Infact, all modern endeavours and enterprises operate and develop only in a global environment. So it is very essential for professional students to visit comparatively better places to have great insight into the real world of business and techniques and learn how performers of such areas are interacting internationally. For such International Exposure Programmes, our University also has plans for Engineering, Hotel Management and Fashion Technology students.”

Lovely Professional University Plans Pharmaceutical Research Commercialization with Synkrom Health-Care Ltd.

Pulsing the emerging role of academia in commercializing innovation, Lovely Professional University has signed an MOU with Synkrom Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. for its School of Pharmacy in regard to Pharmaceutical Research Commercialization. The School will provide the company the commercially viable Research oriented products to be manufactured as market drugs. In this regard, at first instance, the Company will Get International Patent for ‘Joshanda Lozenges’ researched and developed out of traditional poly-herbal mixture Joshanda by the Pharmaceutical Department of LPU.

Under this MOU, from now onwards LPU and Synkrom are going to constantly strive to create a harmonious environment for manufacture of products that are innovative, better than existing ones and affordable in all respects. This is likely to reduce the internal cost of producing new medicines.

At this, Dr. Monica Gulati, Dean, School of Applied Medical Sciences of LPU expressed: “It will be very satisfying for a researcher to see a product coming out of a thesis. However, a lack of industrial collaboration always resulted in keeping the best of theses untapped and unused lying waste on the shelves only.” Dr. Gulati further added: “Joshanda, a poly-herbal mixture, did not enjoy worldwide popularity as it involves cumbersome boiling process. We worked and converted the mixture into cough drops as ‘Joshanda lozenges’ having a long lasting soothing effect with remarkable inhibitory activity on the bacteria. These ‘lozenges’ act as effective drug against other prescribed cough suppressants and also with no side effects.”

On the similar grounds, committed to convert innovative technologies into marketable products; The Managing Director, Satyakam Rahul of ‘Synkrom’ is of the opinion: “ I feel that there is no dearth of refined talent within the country itself. However, systems to nurture innovative developments are lacking. The most of the pharmaceutical companies are focussed on ‘generic drugs’ rather than promoting innovations. So, recognizing an immediate need for a ‘Development Support’ to an ‘Academic Research’, we have founded a ‘Development Company’ exclusively for nurturing of innovations.” Further confirming the company would manufacture ‘lozenges’, he said: “Our department has done its job at the research level. We have signed an agreement and will evaluate the data, after which it will be filed for an international patent. Later, we will also take approval from the Food and Drug Authority.” Parikshit Bansal, in charge of the Intellectual Property Rights Cell at the National Institute of Education and Research, Mohali, said, “Research should not just be restricted to labs. If ‘Lozenges’are found commercially viable, such a research should be turned into a market drug.”

On this occasion, the Chancellor of the University, Sh. Ashok Mittal said: “Research commercialization is the key to progress and development of the nation, so it must be encouraged. It was one of my dreams that Research-Work from our University should lead to innovative Healthcare products economically benefitting all those sufferers who remain in dire need of these. This MOU has started to materialize this dream into a great humane reality. In-fact, Research organizations are becoming increasingly adept at developing own venture arms to finance commercial development of discoveries. LPU has also chosen to be on the path of being an economic engine in this regard. As appetites of educational institutions for commercializing research grow, these should apply their technologies and programmes to more goal-oriented research to become perfect Goal-oriented academia.”

Central Bank of India & Lovely Professional University Sign MOU for Easy Education Loans

In order to facilitate the aspiring, deserving and brilliant students through required educational loans, Lovely Professional University has signed an MOU with the Central Bank of India. There will be a single-window clearance facility for the loan-needy with loan at nominal and lowest possible interest rates. The Girl-Students will be availing loans at lower rate of interest in comparison to others.

The General Manager of the Central Bank of India, R. Mishra & AGM SC Bhayana were present to sign this MOU. After going for the collaboration, Mr. Mishra expressed: “Education is a fundamental right of each and every denizen of India. However, many of the good students remain devoid of higher studies due to their economic conditions or other types of imposed upon financial constraints. Our bank has taken a great step in this regard by trying to make the loan-procedure very easy. A student will be able to get loan from any of the 3400 branches of our bank through out India.”

On this occasion, the Chancellor of the University Sh. Ashok Mittal said: “Such collaboration would result in supporting brilliant students, lacking financial support and opportunity, to complete their studies. It is often seen that in-spite of students’ strong willingness their parents could not let them join the desired programme of study due to want of money. This MOU is certainly going to prove as a great boon to all such parents and students as procedure in acquisition of the normal loan to continue a programme has been made very easy. Also, CBoI will open a counter in the campus to facilitate the students in the campus itself for speedy disbursal of education loan. ”
