The Founding Moment
Mr. Hans Raj Bhardwaj, Union Minister of Law and Justice, Government of India had introduced Professor (Dr.) C. Raj Kumar to Mr. Naveen Jindal and organised their first meeting on 31 October 2006 to discuss the idea of establishing a world-class university at Sonipat, Haryana, India as a tribute to Shri O.P. Jindal.
Sonprastha to Sonipat
The state of Haryana was carved out of Punjab in 1966, but there has never been a re-evaluation of its incredibly rich history. Replete with myths, legends and vedic references, it is believed that this region provided the backdrop to the epic Mahabharata. Names of modern cities like Kurukshetra carry references from the great battle in Mahabharata. Similarly, Sonipat also traces its lineage to the epic through oral history.
O.P. Jindal Global University ( JGU)
JGU aspires to be a role model for institutional excellence in higher education among leading institutions in the world as a multidisciplinary, research driven university fostering excellence in teaching, research, experiential learning, community service and capacity building for nurturing socially responsible leaders.
