GANDHINAGAR, 26 February, 2021 (TON): As the name of the world's largest cricket stadium changed, two days later the name of the Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University (PDPU) has been changed to Pandit Deendayal Energy University (PDEU) on the recommendation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The Prime Minister, during last year's convocation, had said, "The PDPU has enlarged its horizon to the entire energy sector and other areas in the last one decade. Looking at PDPU's progress, I appeal to the Gujarat government that, to see if it can and if needed amend the law, better convert this petroleum university and its name into the Energy University, as its outlook and scope is going to be larger."
In order to represent the PDPU’s larger vision, the recommendation was made by the Prime Minister to replace the word Petroleum with Energy. The university website has also made the necessary changes on its homepage following the notification.
