It is important to keep the younger generation in tune with their heritage, culture and traditions. It is not wise to lose the traditions and their significance with passing generations. Various institutions around the state have been organizing exhibitions and seminars on different subjects, in context with the culture, heritage and traditions of Punjab.

Punjabi Language



With everyone converting to English as their major language, regional language like Punjabi is loosing its significance and there are hardly any youngsters who are well versed with the same. The mother tongue has its own charm, and it is a part of one’s identity, that one must keep intact. The Department of Punjabi at the MCM DAV College for Women recently organized a lecture emphasizing on the linguistic aspect of Punjabi phonetics and morphology.

There is a lot of history behind the Punjabi language and it has high linguistic significance in the global world. Sharing the linguistic aspects of the language, Dr Nachttar Singh from the department of Punjabi at Delhi University, addressed the audience.

Post the lecture; the students were given an opportunity to ask their queries to Dr. Singh and get a better understanding of the subject. The students very enthusiastically participated in the Question and Answer round, and Dr. Singh also very patiently solved their queries.

Art & Craft

On the other hand, Lovely Professional University had a brilliant display of Art & Craft products made by the students and various expert artisans. A two-day inter university Arts and Crafts exhibition was organized by the Students Organization cell of the university, to promote the artisans, their hard work and the beautiful traditional art work of the state. The chief guest of the occasion was Wajid Khan, who is the holder of a number of world records and is a brilliant iron nail-artist and inventor. He interacted with the young budding artists and gave them some valuable tips, while reviewing their creations. He also delivered a lecture to a gathering of around 1, 000 students from different departments of University, ranging from fine arts, animation, architecture, fashion, film production and journalism. Gift hampers, prizes and certificates were also distributed to the artists of the winning art pieces.
