        Punjabi University, Patiala is a multi-faculty institution of higher education in India dedicated to the all-round promotion of Punjabi Language, Literature and Culture. It is the first University in the world to introduce Gurmat Sangeet as an independent subject for higher research and teaching in the Faculty of Arts & Culture with the purpose of creating awareness and spread the knowledge and essence of Sikh Sacred Music amongst people of diverse cultures.
 
        To achieve this objective, the University has initiated a comprehensive Gurmat Sangeet Project by establishing Gurmat Sangeet Chair in 2003 and Department of Gurmat Sangeet in 2005 for the promotion, propagation and preservation of Gurmat Sangeet as a school of music.

        In the contemporary times, Punjabi University has proudly earned the name of being the primer institution for the research and teaching in Gurmat Sangeet. Various under-graduate and post-graduate courses are being pursued on campus regularly as well as through distance education. The global fraternity has always encouraged us to start online teaching of Gurmat Studies and Gurmat Sangeet. To fulfill the long awaited desire and requirement of Punjabi community residing all over the world, Punjabi University has humbly initiated Gurmat Gyan Online Teaching Program.
