Working in the field of
River and wetland ecology Dr Anish Dua has successfully! generated baseline
data about the rich biodiversity resource of Harike and Kanjilil wetlands- the two ecosystems of International importance. The water quality of these I wetlands is regularly being
monitored to assess its impact on aquatic fauna. The status of threatened
fish spp in these wetlands is established and the studies were undertaken to
start the fish habitat restoration programme. The fish community health in
Harike wetland is established through the population dynamics studies. Successful studies have been
carried out^ on regional cooperation through environmental exercises where
trans-boundary water channels (between India and Pakistan) are being
monitored. The objective is to showcase the idea of addressing pollution
problems through strategic partnerships. A total of 8 research

History
Subject 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 Subject 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.
Studies and research on the life and teachings
of Guru Nanak, in addition to working towards the promotion of Punjabi language
and spreading education among educationally backward classes and communities
were the other commitments. In consonance with these expectations, the
University in its eventful history of 35 years has taken long strides in
spreading the message of the Guru and promoting education in such fields as
science, arts, management, information technology, industrial technology,
environment, planning and architecture. Carefully nurtured by committed
academia, the University has carved a niche for itself in the academic world.
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. Spread over a stretch of 500 acres towards the west of
the City, Subject presents a picture of modern architecture. Traditional red
brick geometrical blocks represent its regard for time-honoured values and
commitment to scientific advancement. Making its humble beginning in an annexe
of the adjoining Khalsa College, the University today boasts of 37 academic
departments, two regional centres, two colleges and a score of support service
departments besides several administrative offices. In recent years, the
University has diversified in a big way its programmes into applied sciences
making it one of the distinguished centres of industry related job-oriented
courses.
It is highly innovative in designing its
teaching and research programmes and offers a comprehensive range of general
and applied courses. Very early on, it decided to restructure its syllabi on
the basis of recommendations made in the reports of the Curriculum Development
Centres (1988). Admission to courses at all levels is made strictly on the
basis of National, state and University level entrance tests. At present,
nearly 5000 students are studying on the Campus, 4 College, All India Services
Training Centre, Instrumentation Centre, Computer Centre, 24 hour internet
facility, Placement Unit etc.
To promote research among its faculty, almost
all the Departments have been provided with independent computer facilities,
internet connectivity and departmental libraries. In addition to the academics,
the University has also created necessary facilities for recreation and all
round development of students and faculty in the form of Department of Youth
Services, National Service Scheme, a 900 seat all purpose auditorium, half a
dozen seminar and conference halls, a modern hi-tech sports complex, sports
hostel, faculty club, students’ centre, health centre, day care centre, two
separate holiday homes at Dalhousie for teachers and students, working women
hostel, Baba Buddha College Bhawan along with oncampus residential facilities
for a large number of students, teachers and administrative staff. The Campus
with its lush green grounds, swaying fields, blossom laden tree lined lanes
provides a most conducive physical environment for work and progress.
The University takes pride in the fact that
its community over the years has developed a great participative work culture.
The University has won Maulana Abul Kalam Azad Trophy 17 times and
inter-versity youth festival championship four times consecutively. UGC has
granted the University Centre for Excellence in Sports Sciences. National
Assessment and Accreditation Council accredited the University at the
"Five Star Level". Being rated at such a high level will inspire its
community to make strides ahead still faster and stronger with academic
excellence and commitment to social upliftment as the core ideals. a very large
number of them being girl students drawn from the neighbouring countryside.
The University has contributed tremendously in
accessing higher education to women in this otherwise educationally backward
area. Being an affiliating University, it also .performs the parenting role of
directing and monitoring the academic programmes of more than 100 colleges
located in the five districts of Amritsar, Jalandhar, Kapurthala, Nawanshehar
and Gurdaspur, some of which have a long and creditable history of imparting
higher education since late nineteenth century. Over the years, the University
has built up an excellent academic infrastructure in the form of a well stocked
computerised library, state-of-the-art laboratories, Academic Staff.
