Established on 1 November 1966, Haryana enters its seventh decade with an opportunity to build upon its achievements and imagine new possibilities for its future. The World Ideas Forum represents JGU’s commitment to contributing to that next chapter: strengthening Haryana’s emergence as a destination for knowledge, creativity, international dialogue and intellectual exchange. At the heart of this initiative is an ambitious vision for Sonipat—a city that welcomes the world and helps shape its conversations.
The announcement connects a significant milestone in Haryana’s history with an investment in its future. As the state celebrates 60 years, JGU seeks to demonstrate how a university can contribute beyond its classrooms: by convening diverse perspectives, encouraging collaboration and creating a public platform through which ideas can inform institutions, policy and society.
Mr. Naveen Jindal, Founding Chancellor and Benefactor of O.P. Jindal Global University, said: “Haryana’s 60th anniversary is an occasion to celebrate the enterprise, determination and aspirations of its people, and to look ahead with renewed ambition. The state’s leadership in agriculture, industry and sport offers a strong foundation for its next chapter as a centre of education, innovation and knowledge. We established O.P. Jindal Global University with the conviction that a world-class university in Haryana could create opportunities for India while engaging deeply with the world. The World Ideas Forum carries that conviction forward. By bringing global voices to Sonipat, we hope to contribute to Haryana’s future and enable its young people to participate in conversations that will shape the decades ahead.”
