Jalandhar/Kapurthala, December 4, 2025: I.K. Gujral Punjab Technical University (IKGPTU) remembered the late Shri Inder Kumar Gujral, the 12th Prime Minister of the country, on his 106th birth anniversary. Vice Chancellor, Prof. (Dr.) Susheel Mittal was the chief guest at the ceremony held in the Vice Chancellor's Secretariat. Registrar Dr. Navdeepak Sandhu was the special guest. Senior university officials, faculty members, and staff members offered flowers to Gujral's portrait during the floral tribute offering ceremony.
Vice Chancellor, Prof. (Dr.) Susheel Mittal shared about the late Gujral Sahib's invaluable legacy, the "Gujral Doctrine." He explained that the formulation of the "Gujral Doctrine" is considered a milestone in India's foreign policy. It was formulated in 1996 by Shri Inder Kumar Gujral, who served as Foreign Minister in the government of former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda. This doctrine states that India, as a major country in South Asia, must grant unilateral concessions to its smaller neighbors and maintain cordial relations with them. This doctrine has proven so effective that friendly smaller neighboring countries continue to stand with India and its developmental decisions to this day. He suggested that students read it in its entirety.
Deputy Registrar Public Relations Office Rajneesh Sharma discussed the life philosophy of former Prime Minister Inder Kumar Gujral, recounting his journey from birth to becoming Prime Minister.
On this occasion, Dean Academic of the University Prof (Dr) Yadwinder Singh Brar, Dean R&D Dr Parveen Bansal, Finance Officer Dr Sukhbir Singh Walia, Associate Professor Dr Rajiv Bedi, Deputy Registrar Dr Pawan Garg were present.
