<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\nO.P. Jindal Global University (JGU) has been able to carve a special place for itself in the history of the state of Haryana. JGU was the first private university established under the Haryana Private Universities Act 2006. On becoming an Institution of Eminence the Act of 2006 was accordingly amended. JGU has been consistently achieving top positions in QS rankings across disciplines. As the University celebrates these achievements in the 15-year journey of the university, it honours Haryana, its host, by establishing a new research institute \u2013 the Jindal Institute of Haryana Studies (JIHS).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nWhile Haryana has achieved remarkable progress in various sectors since its formation as a separate state of the Indian Republic on November 1, 1966, it continues to face challenges related to governance, social equity, environmental sustainability, and economic diversification. JIHS aims to advance Haryana\u2019s development agenda while aligning with global best practices and sustainable development goals.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nJIHS is dedicated to highlighting Haryana\u2019s achievements and addressing Haryana\u2019s unique challenges through interdisciplinary research, innovative policy solutions, capacity-building initiatives, and actionable intervention.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>Read More<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Director\u2019s Message<\/p><\/h2><\/div>
