Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College (Ludhiana) - History

Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College (GNDEC), Ludhiana was established by the Nankana Sahib Education Trust [NSET]. NSET was founded in memory of the most sacred temple of Nankana Sahib, birthplace of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. SGPC (Shiromani Gurudwara Prabhandak Committee) Amritsar, a premier organization of universal brotherhood, was the main force behind the mission of "Removal of Economic Backwardness through Technology". With this mission, a Polytechnic was started in 1953 and then Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College was established in 1956.

The Trust deed was registered in February 1953 with a commitment by The Nankana Sahib Education Trust to uplift the vast weaker section of Indian polity comprising Rural India by admitting 70% students every year from Rural Areas. This commitment was made to the nation in April 1956. Since the day when the foundation stone of the college was laid by Late Dr. Rajendra Prasad Ji, the First President of India, nearly 10,000 Graduate and 300 Post Graduate Engineers have passed from this college during the last 50 years and are at present successfully employed in India & abroad. The college is now ISO 9001- 2000 certified; NBA accredited and has signed MoU with Iowa University USA for exchange of students and faculty.
