Located in Chandigarh, Punjab University (PU) is a public college institution in India. It is regarded as a state university because it is supported by both the State and the Union governments. Its roots can be discovered in the University of the Punjab, established in Lahore in 1882. The university was founded on October 1, 1947, following India’s division, and was first known as East Punjab University. It was originally solely housed at a cantonment in Solan but subsequently moved to a newly constructed campus in Chandigarh and changed its name to Punjab University.
In order to identify and assist those in need of help, the Punjab University Campus, Students Council (PUCSC) stated that they would be forming a mental health committee.
