NILAMBER-PITAMBER UNIVERSITY
NILAMBER-PITAMBER UNIVERSITY The circular seal of the Nilamber-Pitamber University (NPU) has a blue border which carries the name of the university in Devanagari and its motto in Sanskrit ‘तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय’ (Yajnavalkya,1.3.28, Pavamana Mantra, Brihadaranyaka Upanishad) meaning ‘Lead me from Darkness to Light’ is written. This ensconces a black torch with brown flame, an open book and supported by three pairs of green leaves with stems. The torch with flame is an emblem of enlightenment, hope, life, truth and the regenerative power; the open book symbolises knowledge, learning, education and wisdom and the green plants denote agriculture, nature, growth, balance, harmony, environment, prosperity, vitality, prestige, wealth and being very down to earth.
