"As an 'Institution of Eminence' dedicated to the study of social sciences, liberal arts and humanities, it is important for us to make a strong and substantive impact on the economy, polity and society. The Jindal Institute of Behavioural Sciences (JIBS) that was established in 2014 has created a rich body of research and capacity building in behavioural sciences. We are building on that experience to develop a world class institution, the Jindal School of Psychology & Counselling (JSPC).
"Similarly, our faculty members at the Jindal Global Business School, Jindal School of Liberal Arts & Humanities, Jindal School of Journalism & Communication and the Jindal School of Banking & Finance have a deep and rich experience in areas of Fine Arts, Entrepreneurship, Data Journalism, Business Analytics, Financial Markets and Business Studies.

Arjya B. Majumdar, Dean, Office of Admissions and Outreach, JGU said, "A 21st century Atmanirbhar Bharat has begun to have conversations around issues such as mental health, entrepreneurship and new age careers in fine arts. As a university dedicated to the study of social sciences, arts and humanities, JGU needs to be part of this conversation. These new programmes being offered at JGU will complement our existing repertoire of programmes in law, business, social sciences, politics, international relations, liberal arts, architecture, communication, commerce and environment studies."
Dabiru Sridhar Patnaik, Registrar, O.P. Jindal Global University said, "O.P. Jindal Global University believes in shaping the social, emotional and intellectual lives of aspiring students. We continue to make concerted efforts to start new programmes that are in consonance with the vision and mission of the University. With a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach followed at JGU, students will benefit from the programmes offered by JGU. This would allow students to pursue their areas of interest with methodological rigour and thus become experts in their chosen fields."
