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. ”

Thames Valley University (UK) & Lovely Professional University Forged Tie-Up
To provide international exposure and magnify the dissemination of knowledge to its Hotel Management Students, Lovely Professional University has undergone a collaboration with Thames Valley University(TVU), UK for the quality of its different programmes in International Hotel Management. A senior academic consultant, Ms. Susanne Baker from TVU, (UK) paid a visit to the Department of Hotel Management of Lovely School of Hospitality of the University. She perceived the feasibilities of concurrence between the two universities for B Sc Hospitality Management (Twinning Programme). After mutual discussions an MOU was signed between the two universities in regards to this.
In this programme, students will be given a chance to undertake a Twinning programme in which they will have two years of studies in India at LPU and the remaining one, or one and a half in TVU, (UK). Appreciating the world class infra-structure, curriculum and pedagogy of LPU Ms. Susanne Baker said : “ As these are of International standards, this tie-up will , eventually , enrich the reservoirs of knowledge of the young scholars at LPU in a better way by actually facing the international atmosphere in the last phase of their programme. Moreover, TVU gives a lot of importance to this co-operation because it reinforces its presence in India significantly. ”
On this occasion the Chancellor of LPU, Sh. Ashok Mittal said : “With an objective to develop and upgrade the quality of training and professional skills for the students of its hotel management programmes, LPU judged it necessary to call upon a partner with an international reputation. For both TVU and LPU increasing the dissemination of significant scholarly advancements to the students is a major goal. We’re delighted to work with Thames Valley University’s Department of Hotel Management Studies to bring this MOU to much wider prospects.”
After having studied several proposals, and finding that TVU has an international standing, LPU thought it necessary to harmonize the Hotel Management programmes on the line of International standards. In fact a good theorist does not necessarily have to be a good hotel manager. It is indispensable for him/her to have excellent professional knowledge. Thus, the collaborative programmes aim to help the students achieve not only the “savoir-faire” (know-how) but also “savoir-être” (develop one's personality) that is so particularly important in this profession, essential for recruitment by the large hotel groups in India and around the world.
