Workshop on Google

Ms Jaonne Stevens, Program Manager, and Jennifer Haroon, Manager, Google.org visited Lovely Professional University for a pilot project of Google, where students were trained to use google translator, and how to translate health related articles from English to Hindi.

A total of five articles of around 10,000 words were translated on the same day, and an amount of $300 was raised as charity through this process for various NGOs around the world.

LPU Students meet Rahul Gandhi

Government for any country is said to be a set up which is of the people, made by the people and for the people. This is the basic agenda on which Indian government and government of many other countries is based. To facilitate the common people in taking decisions with the government and welcoming suggestions from the intellect of the country, Rahul Gandhi, Member of Parliament invited universities from the entire stretch of the country at his residence to pour in their views and ideas. From the Punjab region Lovely Professional University was selected to have a session with the MP. In total 9 students; 7 Management and 2 Engineering; were given an opportunity to be a part of the session along with Mr. Aman Mittal- Deputy Director of Department of International Affairs, Ms. Soosan Chhabra- Deputy Registrar and Mr. Rajiv Sobti- Deputy Dean. The discussion was an initiative of Rahul Gandhi to invite the education providers and intellect of the country in becoming an integral part of the growth policies to be framed for the country. He asked the members to come forward and share the problems/issues/new ideas which will help his government and the opposition to look upon the country with the eyes of a common man. He opined that the blame for ill-health of the country’s economy cannot be given to the politicians or the masses as a whole, rather the onus goes on to the bureaucrats who act as a middleman in all the proceedings and thus delay all the workings planned. He asked the educated people of the country especially the students to come forward and work with the important offices and help in streamlining the projects undertaken for the benefit of the country. He appealed the total elimination of the middlemen and said the power shall be in the hands of the public. He did not urge the students to join politics for that. He was of the view that staying outside the system and still benefitting the society by asking questions, pointing problems and working together to resolve them shall be the main motive of the today’s youth. He displayed strict reservation towards the long processes and cycles that the workings of the government and other big corporations have. As per him these long processes dilute the basic essence with which any project is started and the real benefit of any such project never reaches the masses; rather is distributed among the people who act as middlemen. Showing confidence in the Gen Z he said, “Till today the policies are framed for the country and imposed on the common masses because no one comes forward to frame them, question their relevance and ask about the productivity that any policy will bring. Millions of dollars of policies are framed by people having no ground knowledge and the common man accepts whole heartedly without analysing their consequences. I want people of your intellect and intelligence to become an active part in framing the policies of the country which will change the entire face of the country. Do not take the things as they come your way. Ask the basic questions of why, how, when and where and then accept anything. Become an active citizen of your country and give no right to anyone to dictate your life. Make full use of your education and knowledge and become the changers of the country. My office has people of your age group working with me and now I want more people to pour in their ideas and efforts.”

Lovely Professional University's Twinning programs: Offering diversity in disciplines and learning destinations at minimal expenses

The ongoing economic downturn that struck the world economy last year is proving to be big blow to Indian students’ foreign education dreams.

As per the arrangement, students complete a part of a programme at LPU, and rest with the foreign partner university. The final degree is awarded by the foreign university.

As the years of the programme in LPU are based on US pedagogy, thus these programmes provide students with an opportunity to choose their specialization after they join LPU's partner university abroad. LPU has tied up with various world class universities in USA, Canada , UK and Australia; so that the students can choose from the list of the partner universities, on the basis of merit and are not compelled to bind themselves to any particular university or country at the time of admission.

Already, a group of 62 MBA students have visited USA under such a Programme.

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 programme will help the students to:
• learn the importance of the global perspective to a business manager in relation to finance, management, marketing and other major areas of business.
• become more comfortable and confident when interacting with American and international business people.
• see business skills in a global context and understand that the appreciation for travel and a compassionate world view are assets in this field.
• observe campus and American culture through visits to UNC Charlotte classes and various community sites.
• strengthen business communication skills through cultural interaction and understanding.
• access the educational resources of the University like library, computer labs and language labs as well as other facilities.
• gain important know-how and expertise for prevailing business culture in technology and management oriented organizations.
• 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.”
