What is DISHA?

LPU’s “DISHA” a comprehensive career guidance initiative that empowers students to make informed career choices has already been working in line with the UN SDG 5 (Gender Equality). Through DISHA, we offer career counseling, and tailored workshops/seminars to our female students' unique needs and aspirations on topics such as gender sensitivity etc. The university’s initiatives demonstrate our unwavering commitment to gender equality and the empowerment of women, Women Health and Sanitation. The university shows its commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by taking numerous initiatives and one of them truly touches lives, it is 30% financial aid on UG and PG programmes offered, providing financial assistance throughout the entire duration of the programmes, specifically for single girl children and single parents, with a special focus on mothers. We believe in the transformative power of education that is reflected in the motto of the university as well “Transforming Education Transforming India”, and we are dedicated to making sure that this transformation is accessible to all, in the most compassionate and inclusive way possible. However, our actions are not limited to these.
A remarkable aspect of Lovely Professional University (LPU) is its commitment to gender equality and women empowerment for which the university has taken dedicated steps to continuously improve the encouragement of women in pursuing higher education and careers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and the university has taken the initiative of discounting the application fee to 50% for all the tests. The underrepresentation of women in STEM fields is a global concern. However, at LPU, we are taking proactive steps to address this issue along with our financial aid schemes that are designed to attract and retain female students in STEM courses.
