Honorable Chancellor's Profile

Long before “innovation” and “global education” became policy slogans, Dr. Ashok Kumar Mittal imagined a university that would not merely produce degrees, but produce dreamers, disruptors, diplomats, athletes, artists, entrepreneurs, and citizens of the world.

Lovely Professional University—not just a campus, but a living, breathing revolution in Indian Education!

Dr. Mittal authored a legacy.

Under his leadership, LPU rose from the heart of Punjab to the global academic map; a place where students from villages and metros, from India and over 50 countries, sit in the same classrooms, share the same ambitions, and discover the same truth: talent does not ask where you come from.

Today, the story of LPU under Dr. Mittal’s leadership is written not only in rankings, accreditations, patents and placements, but in human transformations—in first-generation graduates who changed the destiny of entire families. In students placed at global companies. In athletes carrying the Indian flag onto world podiums. In startups born inside classrooms. In ideas that travelled farther than geography ever could.

As a Member of Parliament in the Rajya Sabha, Dr. Mittal carries the same conviction into national service— advocating for youth empowerment, educational transformation, innovation, employment generation, healthcare reforms, and people-centric governance.

“Education is the greatest social equaliser ever created. Not a privilege for the few, but a force capable of lifting millions.”
