Lovely Professional University's celebration of "Unity in Diversity"!

In a vibrant celebration of culture, diversity, and global harmony, Lovely Professional University (LPU) again brings you the iconic celebration of "ONE INDIA" and "ONE WORLD", on 14th, 15th and 16th April, 2025. These annual 4 km long extravaganzas are more than just cultural showcases; they’re a powerful message of unity, peace, and mutual respect.

One India: A Tribute to the Nation’s Rich Diversity

“One India” brings together students from across the country to represent their home states with pride and passion. Each state is assigned to a different group and department of students who may or may not belong to that region or state, promoting inclusivity and understanding of India’s incredible multi-coloured cultural mosaic.

From colorful processions to traditional dances, folk music, local delicacies, and regional attire — the event is a feast for the senses. 

Students showcase iconic landmarks, festivals, and stories from every corner of India — from the serene valleys of Kashmir to the backwaters of Kerala, from Gujarat’s garba to Manipur’s martial arts. It is a true embodiment of the phrase, “Unity in Diversity.”

One World: Global Cultures Under One Roof

Right on the heels of “One India,” LPU lights up once again with the “One World” celebration. This time, international students take the spotlight, representing over 50 countries where LPU has a student presence from.

Booths and exhibitions turn the campus into a global village. Countries like Nepal, Afghanistan, Bhutan, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, Brazil, and Zimbabwe all come alive with cultural artifacts, traditional outfits, music, and cuisine. Visitors get a chance to “travel the world in a day” without ever leaving campus.

This event really embodies the phrase "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" resonating deeply in every corner of the university. It further emphasizes how cultural exchange fosters empathy, respect, and a shared vision for a peaceful future.

What makes it so Special?

What makes these events truly special is that they are entirely student-driven. From conceptualization and coordination to performances and exhibits, LPU students take full charge, gaining invaluable experience in teamwork, leadership, and event management.

LPU’s Chancellor, Mr. Ashok Mittal, and Pro Chancellor, Mrs. Rashmi Mittal, encourage the students to grow their creativity and spirit. They believe that events like these help in building global citizens who are not just academically strong but also socially conscious.

In a world often divided by borders and ideologies, events like One India and One World stand as a testament to what’s possible when people come together in the spirit of love and learning. They reinforce the idea that diversity is not a challenge but a strength.

For students, it’s not just a cultural show — it’s an education beyond books, a moment to connect, celebrate, and grow.

All in all, Lovely Professional University’s celebration of “One India” and “One World” is a bold and beautiful reminder that we are all part of something larger than ourselves. Whether through the lens of nationality or global identity, the message is clear — unity, respect, and understanding are the true pillars of progress.
