About the Department

The Department of Punjabi was established in July 2019 at the Central University of Punjab, Bathinda. Prior to this, M.A. Punjabi and Ph.D. Punjabi programmes were being offered under the Department of Languages and Comparative Literature. Currently, the Department of Punjabi is offering M.A. Punjabi and Ph.D. Punjabi programmes. Apart from providing quality post-graduate education, the department constantly strives to nurture creative and analytical faculties of the students. Introduction of research project and seminars at the post-graduation level helps in achieving this objective. The department also organizes several co-curricular activities for the holistic development of the students.

Punjabi Language Teaching Initiatives
            Central University of Punjab, Bathinda is a mini India where students from 26 states, faculty from 19 states and non-teaching staff from 12 states converge and most of them have no prior exposure to Punjabi. So, to fulfil their day-to-day needs of communication, the Department of Punjabi has launched various programmes for students, faculty and staff.

For the students, two Interdisciplinary courses (PBI.517 & PBI.530) are available for learning introductory Punjabi. Another short-term course has been designed for faculty and staff of the university which is offered from time to time as per demand. Head of the Department, Prof. (Dr.) Zameerpal Kaur, also made an introductory presentation about Punjabi Language in an exchange programme organized by Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, Govt. of India under Ek Bharat Shreshth Bharat Abhyan 2020-21. (Presentation)

Vision of the Department
