Leading Indian industrialist and philanthropist ...

This year marks the 12th year of the Chancellorship of Naveen Jindal and Vice-Chancellorship of C. Raj Kumar. The senior leadership of JGU has set out the JGU Vision 2030, which is aligned with the aspiration to climb up within the elite group of leading global universities and contribute to nation-building by producing the best and the brightest minds of the country.

On this momentous occasion, C. Raj Kumar, the founding Vice-Chancellor of O.P. Jindal Global University (JGU) said that, "It has been our steadfast commitment since the founding of JGU in 2009 to become a world-class teaching and research institution. Through commitment and dedication, JGU's more than 830 faculty members, 6,600 students and its outstanding staff work towards this goal on a consistent basis. Our performance in the World University Rankings reflects the high quality of our multidisciplinary teaching and research. Chancellor Naveen Jindal's endorsement of the expansion plan and the significant financial investment of Rs. 1,000 crores for JGU for the new decade is the right impetus we needed to do even better. Chancellor Naveen Jindal's philanthropy and support not only provides thought leadership and the strength of resources, but a strong commitment to retain our first rank among private Indian universities."

Naveen Jindal further added that, "I am delighted that within the first decade of existence, JGU has not only climbed in the QS World University Rankings but we were also recognized by the Government of India as an Institution of Eminence. Under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Government of India is working tremendously hard towards the Mission Atma Nirbhar Bharat. Indian higher education is a crucial stakeholder in this mission, and I believe that building world-class universities in India like JGU is an effort in the same direction."

Within 11 years of establishment, JGU has been ranked in the top 651-700 universities in the world and has become India's number 1 Ranked Private University. JGU is also India's top-ranking university with a focus solely on Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities as per the influential QS World University Rankings 2021.
