Overview 

Pt. Shriram Sharma Acharya believed that there was a need for an educational institution which could mould its students into noble and enlightened human beings; selfless, warm-hearted, compassionate and kind. To achieve these goals that he had set in his lifetime for radical change in the field of higher education, After he attained Samadhi in June 1990, his admirers and followers gave his vision action by establishing a university and naming it Dev Sanskriti. Acharya’s silent revolutionary movement is now well established as Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya, which works with the primary motive of providing a confluence of modern education with the installation of human values in the students. The students are expected to follow a simple and spiritual lifestyle through which they receive benefits from both state-of-the-art facilities and the wisdom of ancient traditional practices. This allows the university to provide noble citizens who would channelize their efforts towards the goal of a divine and value-based society. The university was established in the year 2002 based on an act (22.01.2002) passed by the state legislature of Uttarakhand and is notified in the gazette vide notification no. (123/vidhayi & sansadiya karya/2002 dated 11.04.2002). The university is duly recognised by the University Grants Commission and is privately sponsored by Shri Vedmata Gayatri Trust, Shantikunj, a renowned socio-spiritual organization. The Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya remains devoted to its founding principles. This made the university an epitome of a moral and technical institute, and has very pertinently addressed the need of academia to have an institution that can extend solutions to modern-day problems with ancestral wisdom and can contribute to the building of the future of the country.
