Informing the press on Monday, the Vice-Chancellor Deependra Kumar Jha said, “This charter expansion is a significant milestone for UPES and I am very thankful to the State Govt, the CM and the Governor of U’khand for their trust and confidence in us.

At UPES, we are committed to provide wider and meaningful avenues to the students and this amendment will allow us towards these objectives” he said.

Senior director, Public Affairs, Arun Dhand said that these programmes were introduced, keeping the interests of the Uttarakhand domicile students in priority so that they derive the benefits of UPES teaching excellence while pursuing their graduation.
