Undoubtedly yes, I was also worried about one of my cousin who took admission and the counsellor told that LPU has followed all the directions especially of social distancing given by Central/State Government as of now and will also follow the same. LPU has taken some of the major initiatives for the well-being of students, staff and faculty: 1. Wearing of mask by all 2. Daily sanitation 3. Strict rules of movement 4. All the hostel rooms and buildings are sanitized and unnecessary movement of anyone is prohibited 5. No big gathering 6. Thermal scanners Over an above nearly 4000+ cameras are installed in University for the safety and security of the student. Now, I believe if the institution is taking so much effort then probably there is no need to worry. I also overheard alot for LPU that LPU believes in delivering what it promises to deliver.

Till now university management played a very good role in handling everything which is important in pandemic. Before the actual lockdown university sent us to home for our safety and as per the government orders then they provided each and everything to us through online mode using ( UMS, LPU Live app, Googlemeet). Even when government declared the national lockdown and covid 19 started moving towards peak, University started the work from home policy for all staff. Those students and staff who were not able to reach at home due to some reasons, LPU took care of them very effectively. The protection of students and educational facilities is particularly important in this grim situation. LPU would make sure the workplaces are clean and hygienic, surfaces (e. g. desks and tables) and objects (e. g. telephones, keyboards) would be wiped with disinfectant regularly Because contamination on surfaces touched by staff and students is one of the main ways that COVID-19 spreads. LPU would make it mandatory to wear masks. LPU hostels are one of the best designed student accommodations. Since it follows all the norms and ensures the proper sanitation of the hostels everyday, it is one of the safest campuses in the country. The staff and students are sensitized regularly and strict rules and regulations have been laid down for the safety of students.
