Jalandhar, 05.09.26-; Lovely Professional University celebrated its 25th Foundation Day and Silver Jubilee, marking a milestone in a journey that has consistently been shaped by the ambition to make professional education more relevant to the changing needs of students, industry, and society. The celebration brought together the LPU fraternity to commemorate the institution’s journey, with the unveiling of the 25th Year Institution Symbol, recognition of faculty and staff members, and celebrations coinciding with Teachers’ Day, honouring the educators who have been central to the university’s journey.

Today, LPU has evolved into an integrated university ecosystem, bringing academic infrastructure together with facilities and services that make the campus function almost like a self contained city. Initiatives such as UniMall, UniHotel and UniHospital, including opportunities for students from relevant disciplines to gain practical exposure through these ecosystems, reflect this approach of connecting learning with real world environments. The university now offers 150+ programmes across disciplines and has students from more than 70 countries. Its NAAC A++ accreditation and growing presence on national and international academic platforms further reflect the evolution of the institution over the past 25 years.

Dr. Ashok Kumar Mittal, Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha) and Founder Chancellor of LPU, said the 25-year milestone marks an important point in the university’s continuing educational vision, one that now looks beyond building the institution to enabling it to contribute meaningfully to its surroundings Punjab, India and ultimately the world. Dr. Mittal emphasised that the future of education must increasingly move beyond classrooms and degrees towards project based learning, AI, entrepreneurship, earning while learning and portfolios that demonstrate what students can actually do. The vision is to create an institution where ideas, research, technologies and educational models can travel beyond the campus and find relevance in the wider world. In this sense, the Edu-Revolution is envisioned not as a slogan but as an operating culture, moving LPU from success to significance and measuring its contribution by the problems it solves, the opportunities it creates and the ideas it enables others to adopt.

Celebrating the teachers day by a special Staff Appreciation Award Ceremony that honoured the dedication and service of its faculty and staff. In recognition of their contributions, the university awarded cash prize of up to ₹6.5 crore across various categories, including Teaching, Research, Administrative Services, Residential Support, Skills Development, and more, reflecting the diverse excellence that drives LPU forward. The recognition underlined that an institution’s growth is ultimately built through the people who carry its vision forward.

As LPU marks 25 years, the Silver Jubilee thus becomes both a celebration of how far the institution has come and a marker of where it intends to go next. The journey now moves from achievement to impact, from success to significance, and from building an institution to building ideas that can create change beyond it.
