The dawn of 22nd July 1970, in the twenty-first year of the Republic of India, witnessed the birth of the Himachal Pradesh University in fulfilment of the aspirations of the people of Himachal to establish a premier and inclusive institution of higher learning. Since its inception, the University has striven untiringly to realize the vision of its founders, to disseminate and advance knowledge, wisdom and understanding by teaching and research and by the example and influence of its corporate life.
Himachal Pradesh University Alumni Association (HPUAA) was founded on 23 July 2012 to build on the legacy of bonding and friendship fostered at the University and to honour the venerable tradition of giving back to the alma mater as well as to society at large.
