PU Alumnus Donates Rs 3 Cr Plot
A 79-year-old man named Dr D N Jauhar, who studied at Panjab University (PU) and was once the head of its Law Department, gave a big piece of land worth Rs 3 crore to PU.
This land is in Mohali.
The money from selling this land will be used to help students and teachers in the Law Department.
Dr Jauhar said he wants to give back to his university because he learned a lot there.
His family supported his decision.
The university will use most of the money for activities like competitions and awards, and the rest will be saved for the future.
Dr D N Jauhar, a 79-year-old alumnus, donated a one-kanal plot worth Rs 3 crore to Panjab University.
The plot is located in Sector 123, Mohali, and was purchased and registered by Dr Jauhar in 2014.
The endowment will support academic activities, including an international law moot court competition, an annual lecture, and an achievement award.
60% of the annual income from the endowment will be used for academic activities, while 40% will be reinvested for sustainability.
