Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University (PDPU), a leader in providing world-class education in Oil & Gas and allied energy sectors has also taken an initiative of inculcating human values and has tried to tap the talent pool in the form of future leadership for the world by introducing the School of Liberal Studies. PDPU realizes the global requirement of producing young leaders with inquisitiveness and passion for knowledge and wisdom. The global market expects students not just to be ‘informed’ but also ‘enlightened’ and ‘responsible’ today. Young leaders have to chart their own path with innovative solutions for the world today which are seasoned with social concerns. Liberal Studies programme, which is highly popular abroad is the need of the hour for the Indian society.

As the third batch of the School of Liberal Studies is on the verge of climbing the pedestals of research, careers and self-realization for a better world tomorrow, I convey my best wishes to the students and hope that the School with its advanced academic structure and innovative approach will enable students to participate in constructive work to achieve a dignified quality of life through intellectually self-propelled pursuits.

I am sure the inclusion of students from Liberal Studies in the workforce would bring interdisciplinary perspectives and mould economic concerns with ethical dimension.

My good wishes to students.

I feel a great sense of privilege in presenting the class of 2015 to you. For a few years now, The School of Liberal Studies at PDPU has passionately engaged itself in providing a program where students and faculty can encourage intellectual exploration and discovery of ideas and concepts to promote the individual’s mind for lifelong learning. This learning is achieved in a variety of modes across a wide spectrum of disciplines. We offer a choice of majors complemented by

many minor courses to embed the consistent delivery of holistic learning.

The 4 year undergraduate program provides an opportunity for students to broadbase their exposure through internships and applied study programs. These endeavors allow our students to combine their classroom education with practical workplace experience so that our graduates are prepared for successful careers. On our part, we have ensured that our undergraduate students are immersed in an environment of academic courses, creativity and primary research where they develop basic skills to effect change and indulge in out of the box thinking in their chosen fields. Our collaborations with international institutions of repute also provides an opportunity to experience

internships with a strong academic flavor.

I invite you to visit our campus, and assess our students for their professional capabilities as an attestation of the differentiated learning delivered through

this unique program.

Chairman'sMessage

The Third Batch of School of Liberal Studies of Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University Gandhinagar is passing out their first pedestal and is preparing for the placement and further studies. The journey of this batch has just begun and there are still ‘miles to go’.

I am happy that the students after making their way through 30 interdisciplinary courses have also dived into the depth of major and minor of their interest. I am confident that the liberal arts pedagogy has given them lifelong desire to learn and update their skills and aptitude that all modern corporations look for.

School of Liberal Studies has put all efforts to create future leaders of the society, who, I am sure, will contribute tremendously in building our country. These students have achieved excellence in their field of studies.

My best wishes to the entire batch.

Mahatma Gandhi used to say, “I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stuffed. I want the cultures of all the lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any. I refuse to live in other people’s houses as an interloper, a beggar

or a slave.”

As the Third batch of School of Liberal Studies is climbing the first step of their corporate ladder, I am confident that the liberal arts pedagogy has not only provided them enough exposure to the global trends and demands but has also sensitized them to the grass root realities and challenges of Indian society.

I express my heartfelt best wishes to the batch and would like to convey, “From those who have received much, much is expected”. I look forward to the relevant and genuine contribution from the batch for the nation and for

the global society.

About PDPU

Welcome to the School of Liberal Studies Gandhinagar. I take pride in introducing you to a relatively new program in India which aims to create and sustain an intellectually challenging and diverse academic environment through excellent teaching, scholarship, and service in the humanities, management and social sciences. The idea of Liberal Arts finds its roots in western education and is lately being redesigned to meet the changing expectations of diverse businesses who value individuals with the skills to bring in a holistic approach to the workplace. This multidisciplinary approach which is native to the liberal arts curriculum promotes independent thinking, adopts a holistic perspective, stimulates one for lifelong learning, enhances one’s judgement, wisdom and faith and essentially develops the mind to function in an open ended way.

While keeping pace with the ongoing explosion of knowledge, the school teaches those skills most valued by today’s employers and graduate schools, including problem-solving, communication, cross-cultural understanding, and global awareness. We also foster students’ self-understanding, helping them to develop values as they consider moral issues or raise important ethical questions.

As our students graduate and move into their professional roles, i am sure they will appreciate the relevance of liberal arts education in their lives and work and in many ways an increasingly complex society.

We will be glad to hear from you and sincerely hope you will find your visit an engaging experience.

opportunity to first semester young students to have hands on experience to urban development tasks like - Heritage preservation,

water filtration process, solid waste management, health, revenue, BRTS, education, town planning, road construction and other facets of

urban development. Batch 2010 made it a grand success and laid the foundation of a strong relationship between SLS, PDPU and AMC.

INDUSTRY SPEAK

"SLS offers cutting edge programs focused on exposure and exploration for the students which is the need of the hour. Certainly industries require technical people, however for strategic and long term sustainable growth of any organization; they need leaders and creative thinkers who are able to think beyond the box. Liberal Studies help students obtain such competencies. India needs strategic thinkers, visionaries and motivating leaders. An employee of liberal study back-ground would be the end of search for Indian employers certainly."

"According to me, liberal education lies above all other disciplines or forms of education. Due to the knowledge of various subjects and the high exposure provided by School Of Liberal Studies, the students undoubtedly stand apart from their counterparts in other colleges. In future, they would not only have the ability to understand their work, but they would also be able to perceive and interpret their environmental cues very efficiently. They are the torch bearers, visionaries and leaders of the future. Organizations need them."
