About Bathinda

Bathinda is a place with its roots in the

ancient Indus Valley Civilisation. The sites

excavated in nearby Mansa belong to pre-

Harappan, Harappan and late Harappan

periods. Its earlier name was Bikramgarh as

mentioned in History of Patiala, by Khalifa

Muhammad Hassan. However, during 10th -

11th centuries, the city name was Tabarhind.

The Bhattis ruled it for a long period,

and Rao Bhatti established the town of

Bathinda and Bhatner which were fortified

and linked through a tunnel. The fort, Qila

Mubarak, is thus more than one thousand

years old.

In the Slave Dynasty (1206-1526)

Bathinda remained under the rule of Sultans of

Delhi. The first famous woman ruler, Razia

Sultana, who ruled India from 1236 to 1240,

was imprisoned in Bathinda fort in 1240.

In 1706 the Tenth Guru of Sikhs,

Guru Gobind Singh visited the town and

stayed in the fort for some time before going

to Talwandi Sabo where he dictated Adi

Granth. A gurudwara is located inside the

fort in his memory.

After being declared a district in 1948,

Bathinda made rapid strides in agriculture and

industry, so that once arid lands are now

yielding bumper crops including grapes. The

monuments of its modern history include Guru

Nanak Dev Thermal Plant, other thermal plant

at Lehra Mohabbat, National Fertilizers

Limited and Guru Gobind Singh Refinery.

Bathinda has emerged not only as one

of the biggest food grain markets but also an

important centre of education, having schools

and colleges including a medical college and

an engineering college. With the establishment

of Central University of Punjab another

sparkling pearl has been added to this string

with the aim to educate and train manpower in

this economically backward region for the

overall development of the state and the

country.

While we have taken utmost care and

dedication in providing the students best

facilities and securities, there are certain things

that need individual attention and

participation.

1. Avoid loitering around the open spaces

and uninhabited areas during dark. The

habitat is inherently dry and there

could be venomous snakes and insects,

so take care.

2. Quality of groundwater in Bathinda is

not good. Students are warned that

untreated tap water is not potable. We

have provided RO-purified drinking

water units at multiple places in the

campus, and use only these sources for

drinking purpose.

CUPB Culture

To an outsider, CUPB

campus, with its centuries-old trees, chirping

migratory birds and green turfs might seem

quiet, perhaps even sleepy. Nothing could be

intellectual activity, research, knowledge

creation, learning, and teaching. CUPB

historic campus in Bathinda is always buzzing

and vibrant even after hours. In this

environment, results matter and creativity

flourishes within groups, teams, and

departments.

For many people the most compelling

aspect of work at CUPB is the sense of

mission that permeates every organization on

campus. Whether unravelling the diversity of

marine algae along Indian Subcontinental

coast, seeking an understanding of

organizational dynamics or economics,

pursuing breakthroughs in biomedical science

that could lead to a cure for Cancer, or simply

helping to give students the best possible

preparation for their lives and careers, people

at CUPB enjoy the feeling of going to work

every day knowing what they do is truly

motivates and inspires them and often makes

them want to spend their whole career at

CUPB!

CUPB

whole of their careers is a source of strength.

CUPB today is focused on helping its

perspective, and ready to support and advance
