Guru Nanak Dev University

Guru Nanak Dev University was established at Amritsar on November 24, 1969 to mark the 500th birth anniversary of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. It is both a residential and an affiliating university. In conceiving the future course of the University, the objectives enshrined in the Guru Nanak Dev University Act 1969, emphasised that the new University would make provision for imparting education and promoting research in the humanities, learned professions, sciences, especially of applied nature and technology.
The motto of the University, as engraved on its emblem Guru's wisdom illumines all speaks of the vision and idealism for which the University stands. The University has succeeded in creating a niche for itself in the country over a comparatively shorter period.
