More than twenty departments of the University have received various grants under UGC:SAP, DST-FIST and PURSE.
The Alumni Association of Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar was first created in the year 2007 to develop a strong relationship between the alumni and the University for achieving excellence in academics and research. Over the years, the University has made phenomenal academic growth and is presently recognised as “University with Potential for Excellence” by University Grants Commission. The University Alumni have distinguished themselves through their commitment to their respective professions in a wide variety of disciplines. The knowledge and skills of the alumni can make a big difference in helping build a more vibrant GNDU. The association aims at better interactions between the alumni and students by providing forums and creating opportunities for such interactions. The alumni can interact with the faculty and the students, share their experiences and provide assistance in academics, placements etc.
The alumni can also help the underprivileged students of the University by providing financial assistance in terms of Scholarship to poor students, distinguished lecture series, research projects and infrastructure developments like Hostels, Alumni Guest House, Sports Fund, Extension Activities etc. and even for the social cause like helping the Marginalized Kids.

It is my pleasure and privilege to serve as Vice-President (Overseas) of my Alma Mater. Established in 1969, Guru Nanak Dev University has excelled in academics, research and sports, and has been recognized as an institute of excellence by the national accreditation agency of India. The University has also set up international collaborations and signed MOUs with a number of reputed universities and institutes.
The GNDU Alumni Association, first created in 2007, has grown world-wide by establishing Alumni Chapters in Canada, UK and USA. Many of the alumni have achieved outstanding success in their career and have settled all over the globe; a number of them being entrepreneurs and prominent professionals in academics and in various industries of repute. The Association is largely aimed at facilitating interactions between the university alumni, faculty and students to advance the academic and research environment. It encourages the alumni to share their knowledge and experience with students by participating in interactive sessions in order to help students progress in their career paths and secure placements.
The University is committed to providing equal opportunities, quality education and healthy campus environment to all the students irrespective of their financial difficulties, which requires additional funding resources. It should be our endeavour to support our Alma Mater for this worthy cause. It is my earnest appeal to all the alumni to work together with the University in providing scholarships to the underprivileged students, creating research facilities, and developing infrastructure for the overall growth of the university. All contributions, big or small, are important and can play a significant role in supporting the career goals of several students.
If you would like to start a lecture series, make a contribution to the university, or have any other questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact me.
