LPU was started with the motto to prepare students for the industry, unlike other traditional universities. Great importance was given to develop a human resource that was ready to be taken into the industry and also play their part in the development of society and the country. This gave way to LPU’s tagline– “Transforming Education, Transforming India”. LPU is a multi-disciplined university, making the experience of a student more rewarding than at an institution with a restricted number of subjects.”
LPU became the first private university that Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited in 2019. LPU also welcomed Shri Pranab Mukherjee , President of India, M. Venkaiah Naidu , Vice President of India and various Presidents, Prime Ministers, Noble Laureates, and renowned celebrities.
