GNDU vows to adopt one flood-hit village

Guru Nanak Dev University (GNDU) has launched a special initiative to extend relief to flood-affected areas. Registrar Dr Karamjit Singh Chahal said a dedicated team has been constituted to ensure proper implementation of the university’s relief measures.

A meeting in this regard was held with Amandeep Kaur, ADC, and Ravinder Singh Arora, SDM, Ajnala, Amritsar. The deliberations were attended by Dr Balbir Singh (NSS coordinator), Dr Anil Kumar (NCC coordinator), Dr Balwinder Singh (president, teaching association), Rajneesh Bharadwaj (president, Non-Teaching Association) and Aman Arora (president, Officers’ Association) from Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar.

Dr Chahal said the university team has resolved to adopt a flood-affected village and undertake comprehensive rehabilitation activities. The initiative aims at transforming the adopted village into a model village, while also nurturing the spirit of selfless service among the university’s teachers, employees and students.

Prof Karamjeet Singh, Vice-Chancellor, said: “As an institution, we believe our role goes beyond academics. This initiative reflects Guru Nanak Dev University’s commitment to social responsibility and to stand with the community in times of need. By adopting a village, we aim to bring a sustainable change and provide a model for others to follow.”

Registrar Dr K S Chahal added, “Our collective efforts, supported by faculty and staff, will not only help in rehabilitation but also instil the values of compassion and service among our university fraternity.”
