President's message

As you know, about 70 percent of Indians live in villages. It is estimated that a rural population of 700 million people lives in
6 lakh villages.
Most Universities or Colleges are in cities or towns, and it is often not possible for students to travel to cities or towns to study.”
“The Punjab Technical University has set a target of improving the access, reach and quality of technical education in the State of Punjab. I am sure that the University will continue the initiative to provide knowledge skills to the disadvantaged sections of the society.....”

 

His excellency Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam
Former President of India

 

Prime Minister's message

.. I am glad to know that Punjab Technical University has grown over the last few years to venture into new knowledge arenas of relevance.
Universities today have the responsibility to bridge the gulf between the demands of technology driven competitive markets and availability of skilled young job seekers. They need to do so by incorporating the latest in their curricula and pedagogical techniques. I hope that Punjab Technical University is moving in this direction.
I convey my best wishes to the students and teaching faculty for success in their endeavours.
With regards,

 

Dr Manmohan Singh
Hon’ble Prime Minister of India
