Orphaned non-free image File:Bhai Parmanand Institute of Business Studies logo.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Bhai Parmanand Institute of Business Studies logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
