India, since time immemorial, has held an outstanding place in knowledge, literature, music, art and culture. Throughout history, esteemed scholars such as Megasthenes and Huen Tsang journeyed to India seeking spiritual enlightenment education and inspiration.
Till the Eighteenth Century, India was at the pinnacle in education, socio-economic values with 18% share in world trade. According to Max Mueller and W. Litner, it had 27% share of the world’s income and there existed 7,32,000 elementary and school level gurukuls.

Outside political forces such as imperialism used dubious means to enslave India for centuries. Though Indians were enslaved, their culture, heritage, tradition and education could not be eradicated. Today, India is one of the countries producing the highest percentage of brilliant scholars who are leaders in their fields, viz, Science and Technology, Research and Development, Literature, Philosophy, Art, Music etc. Indians have made their presence felt globally. Internationally acclaimed educational institutions like IITs and IIMs are imparting quality education in Science & Technology and Management. Researchers and counsellors have observed that India is producing highly educated youths with empathy, discipline, and self-management.
The University of Patanjali is committed to nurturing a holistic educational environment that integrates yoga, life management skills, Vedic rituals, and moral values into the curriculum. We hope to establish indigenous educational system and mould our youth into role models and successful persons by instilling universal values in them and awakening their dignity and divinity. The University has set up an advisory committee for guidance in rejuvenation of the ongoing higher education programmes and establishment of University of global significance in future.
My best wishes to the youths.
