In the cold winter air of December, the campus of Lovely Professional University (LPU) blossomed with the vibrant colors of chrysanthemums. The annual Chrysanthemum Flower Exhibition 2024 arrived, transforming the university grounds into a spectacular display of color.
The event, hosted by LPU’s ICAR-accredited School of Agriculture, highlighted the university's dedication to cultivating these beautiful flowers, reflecting both skill and passion. The exhibition transformed the campus into a colorful display of chrysanthemums, skillfully cultivated by the university's agriculture students.
The flowers, with their rich hues of yellow, red, white, pink, and purple, grew with dedication, showcasing the students’ agricultural expertise. One of the major highlights was a stunning flower rangoli, carefully crafted by the students.
This beautiful mosaic of petals demonstrated their artistic talent and cultural expression, impressing all attendees. As part of the university’s experiential learning program, students also set up stalls featuring vermicompost, handmade jewellery, and organically grown vegetables.
These stalls provided hands-on experience in entrepreneurship, offering students insights into product development, marketing, and sales. This initiative highlighted the students’ innovative spirit and hard work.
The event was inaugurated by Col. Dr. Rashmi Mittal, Pro-Chancellor of LPU, alongside other distinguished dignitaries. Dr. Mittal commended the efforts of students and faculty, highlighting the importance of experiential programs in fostering holistic education.
The exhibition beautifully showcased the dedication and skill of LPU’s emerging agriculturalists, underscoring the university’s commitment to practical learning and shaping well-rounded professionals.
Chrysanthemums, known as "Guldaudi" in North India, are not only one of the world’s oldest cultivated flowers but also a major global commercial crop, demonstrating their significant role in both agriculture and industry.
