  • Since

    1920

Founded on October 18, 1920, by Mahatma Gandhi as the Rashtriya Vidyapith (National University), Gujarat Vidyapith was established as part of the non- Read morecooperation movement to foster Indian-led educational institutions free from British control. Gandhi served as its lifelong kulpati (chancellor), striving to cultivate a system of learning imbued with truth, non‑violence, dignity of labor, and use of the mother tongue. Declared a deemed university in 1963, Gujarat Vidyapith is publicly funded by the University Grants Commission (UGC) and emphasizes Gandhian principles across its curriculum. With several campuses including its main urban site in Ahmedabad and branches in Sadra and Randheja, the institution offers a range of programs from nursery and vocational education to bachelor’s, master’s, M.Phil., and doctoral studies spanning disciplines such as sciences, social sciences, rural management, computer applications, literature, education, physical education, and Gandhian studies.
