Guru Nanak Dev University Mandates Punjabi Research Submissions

Guru Nanak Dev University Mandates Punjabi Research Submissions

Guru Nanak Dev University in Amritsar has made a new rule.

Now, big research works like PhD theses must be submitted in both English and Punjabi.

The university wants to make sure that important research is not just for people who know English.

They want Punjabi speakers to understand it too.

This includes students, teachers, and even people making rules.

The university will help by providing special guides and support for writing in Punjabi.

They will also keep a digital record of all research in both languages.

This new rule starts next year and follows a national policy that supports using different languages in education.
