Panjab University is one of the oldest formalised Universities in India supporting teaching and research in science and technology, humanities, social sciences, performing arts and sports. The University’s inception dates back to 1882 AD at Lahore (Pakistan), and shifted later to Chandigarh post-Independence. With the political reorganisation of Punjab, the University became an inter-state body catering to the newly constituted states of Haryana, Punjab and Himachal Pradesh, along with the Panjab University Prepared by DRONAH for the Panjab University, Chandigarh under Keeping it Modern Grant by The Getty Foundation 11union territory of Chandigarh. The Panjab University, with its 78 teaching and research departments besides four chairs for the research on the main campus at Chandigarh, has 188 affiliated/constituent colleges spread over Punjab and Chandigarh besides Regional Centres.
The Chandigarh campus of the Panjab University was planned as a self-sustaining institution in 1956. Presently, the campus extends over 550 acres in two sectors of Chandigarh, with its own housing, administration and public facilities. Jugal Kishore Chowdhury was commissioned to create the original master plan for the campus; however, the reigns of the project were soon handed over to Jeanneret. The University’s in-house architect Bhanu Pratap Mathur carried out the detailing and implementation. It has several individual structures that are recognised landmark buildings of the Modernist Movement in India. The ‘Keeping it Modern’ Initiative announced by the Getty Foundation was seen as an opportunity by the Panjab University and the Development and Research Organisation for Nature, Arts and Heritage (DRONAH) to prepare a conservation management plan for the Gandhi Bhawan.
