Know your city and campus

In 1706 the Tenth Guru of Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh visited the town and stayed in the fort for some time before going to Talwandi Sabo where he dictated Adi Granth. A gurudwara is located inside the fort in his memory. After being declared a district in 1948, Bathinda made rapid strides in agriculture and industry, so that once arid lands are now yielding bumper crops including grapes. The monuments of its modern history include Guru Nanak Dev Thermal Plant, other thermal plant at Lehra Mohabbat, National Fertilizers Limited and Guru Gobind Singh Refinery. Bathinda has emerged not only as one of the biggest food grain markets but also an important centre of education, having schools and colleges including a medical college and an engineering college. With the establishment of Central University of Punjab another sparkling pearl has been added to this string with the aim to educate and train manpower in this economically backward region for the overall development of the state and the country.

About Bathinda
Bathinda is a place with its roots in the ancient Indus Valley Civilisation. The sites excavated in nearby Mansa belong to preHarappan, Harappan and late Harappan periods. Its earlier name was Bikramgarh as mentioned in History of Patiala, by Khalifa Muhammad Hassan. However, during 10th 11th centuries, the city name was Tabarhind. The Bhattis ruled it for a long period, and Rao Bhatti established the town of Bathinda and Bhatner which were fortified and linked through a tunnel. The fort, Qila Mubarak, is thus more than one thousand years old. In the Slave Dynasty (1206-1526) Bathinda remained under the rule of Sultans of Delhi. The first famous woman ruler, Razia Sultana, who ruled India from 1236 to 1240, was imprisoned in Bathinda fort in 1240.
