DHARMSINH DESAI UNIVERSITY The orange and black emblem of Dharmsinh Desai University (DDU) is a monogram in rhombus created using its acronym ‘DDU’. This emblem is bold, standing out and informs one of the university’s dynamism. The shape of the rhombus known as a diamond or lozenge refers to a diamond and it signifies life, prosperity, reward, inner balance and protection; colour red symbolises passion, power, strength, courage, determination, energy and celebration and the colour black denotes mystery, power, elegance and sophistication.

DAKSHIN DINAJPUR UNIVERSITY The emblem of the Dakshin Dinajpur University (DDU) has a pair of pillars supporting an open book and a quill pen with nib. These are supporting the name of the university inscribed on a slab and supported by its motto in Sanskrit ‘न हि ज्ञानेन सदृशं पवित्रमिह विद्यते’ (Chapter 4, verse 38 of the Bhagavad Gita) meaning ‘In this World, There is Nothing as Pure and Virtuous as the Pursuit of Knowledge’. All these are ensconced in a square with a blue outline. The pillars are the bridge to heaven from earth and pillars mean strength, security of foundation and trustworthiness; the open book symbolises knowledge, education and wisdom, the quill symbolises tradition and the nib symbolises freedom, intelligence, creativity, professionalism, determination and diligence.
