The V-C said Republic Day had a special importance for PU as it was reorganised after the Republic Day. He added that President Pranab Mukherjee had called the universities to break into the top 200 varsities of the world. "PU has already identified the areas where it is lagging behind the top universities in the world and we are working on the strategy to achieve the goal,"he added.

Grover called upon the university students, participants, teachers and staff to accelerate their efforts to raise the rank of PU. He said the results of the efforts being made in 2014 would be reflected in the university rankings in 2016 as the Times Higher Education considers five-year data. Earlier, Times Higher Education Ranking had ranked PU the number one university in the country. The ranking declared in 2013 was for the period from 2006-2011.
