Registrar prof Yajvender Pal Verma signed the MoU on behalf of the university. Representatives of the British Deputy High Commission in Chandigarh and various PU officers and academicians were present on the occassion.
The MoU outlines joint promotion and learner outreach for SEM courses. It further provides for the organisation of related competitions and student activities, including linkages with HGF’s flagship initiative.
On this occasion, the PU vice-chancellor prof Renu Vig also launched three credit-based digital courses — Innovative and Creative Thinking, Entrepreneurship, and Entrepreneurship for Women. Each course will carry three credits and run for eight weeks, with 45 hours of guided learning.
The courses will be delivered through PU-HGF learning experience platform, offering live cohort sessions, interactive learning support, structured assessments and verifiable digital credentials.
