Oldest Universities of the Ancient World - Indian, European, Arabic and African Universities

Whenever we think of education , the ideas of school, colleges and universities come into mind. But very few people know, which are the oldest Universities of the world. The word University, originated from the Latin word “Universitas” which refers to number of persons associated with a body or society. But the facts remains, that the concept of University was not just restricted to western world, in fact most ancient universities originated in the eastern world -- the cradle of civilization. To do justice to all, irrespective of country, caste and creed ; let us check the Universities depending on their Geographical location.

The story starts in India – The land of mystics and Vedic charms, it was here that, the first University of the world started.

Indian Universities

Takshashila University- World’s First University

Eons ago, India, emerged as a torchbearer to the world because of its vast riches and enormous knowledge, not necessarily in that order. The reason was due to the presence of an erudite statesmen, who lead the country, in different spheres of the society. Their presence was greatly contributed by the Guru and Gurukul traditions of ancient India. In this context Takshashila university (Modern day – Taxilla- a name given by Greeks, during the time of Alexander the great’s conquest ) was the forefront factor.

Located in modern day Pakistan, at it’s heyday, Taxilla was the epitome of Indian scholarly aspirations. Established almost 2700 years back, it was the world’s first University. According to Hindu Mythology, Takshashila was founded by Bharata, the young brother of the legendary God King – Rama ( The main character of Hindu epic Ramayana ) and given to his son Taksha, to govern. Mythology apart, ruins of Indus Valley Civilization, dating about 5000 years old have been found in the nearby areas. Gradually Taxilla, emerged as an independent city state, which frequently changed hands, due to political aspirations of the kings of that era.

It was around 700 BC, that the University was established. It has been said that at it’s peak over10,500 students came from different parts of the world, to attain mastery over different variety of subjects like – Vedas, grammar, Ayurveda, Surgery, philosophy ,politics, archery, warfare, astronomy, commerce, law and music and range of other subjects. Some of the famous scholars who were part of this university are – Chanakya (The teacher of Chandragupta Maurya – the emperor who founded India’s first empire) , Panini (The great scholar of grammar and Sanskrit ), Charaka (The great ayurvedic healer), Jivaka ( The great physician of Magadha empire, who reportedly even treated Buddha ) and Vishnu Sharma. The greatest beauty of the University was that it was totally out of control of local rulers and the teachers had total freedom in their work. Education was not sold, and it was free of cost. Money came in form of financial grants from the wealthy members of the society.

Nalanda University

It was established around early 5th century ( in the province of Bihar, in eastern part of Modern day India) by Shakraditya of Gupta dynasty. Although it was established under patronage of Kings of Gupta Dynasty ,it flourished for another 600 years in spite of change of regional power. At it’s peak students from nearby countries like China, Tibet, Korea, Japan, Indonesia came to study here. The University was under a profound influence of Buddhism, and it was an integral part of academic curriculum. Other subjects being taught were Sanskrit grammar, medicine, literature, logic, astrology and astronomy. This University is supposed to have the largest library of the ancient world , consisting of three large multi-storeyed building. Aryabhata , the great mathematician and astronomer, was a distinguished teacher of Nalanda University. Nalanda was destroyed around 1200 CE by an army of Delhi Sultanate.

Vikramashila University

Vikramashila University was founded by King Dharampala of Pala Dynasty, in 8th Century in an area, which is situated in Bhagalpur district, in Bihar province of Modern Day, India. It was a contemporary of Nalanda University and may had provided some strict competition. It was one of the largest Universities of it’s time with more than 100 teachers and more than 1000 students. Subjects like grammar, logic, philosophy were taught in this University. It spread and flourished for 400 years, when around 12th century it was destroyed by invading army of Delhi sultanate.

Valabhi University

It was established in 6th Century, in Saurashtra area, in the western Indian province of Gujarat. It was a great centre of learning and at one time was considered to be rival of Nalanda University, in terms of respect and stature. It prospered for 600 years till 12th century. At it’s peak in 7th century there were more than 6000 monks studying in the place and students from all part of the world came to study here. The graduates of this University were highly respected and got distinguished positions in courts of many nearby kingdom.

Pushpagiri University

This ancient buddhist centre of learning was established around 3rd century, in old kingdom of Kalinga ( In Jajpur district, in modern day eastern province of Odisha ). The Pushpagiri area consisted of three adjoining hilly areas , namely - Udayagiri, Lalitgiri and Ratnagiri. Scholars consider that this place of learning in ancient India, had similar importance to the other old universities like – Nalanda, Taxilla, Vallabhi and Vikramshila Universities. This university also succumbed to the ravages of time and invaders and finally disappeared in 12th Century.

Odantapuri University

Established in 8th century in Magadha Kingdom (Presently in the eastern province of Bihar in Modern Day, India) by kings of Pala dynasty and prospered for the next 400 years, finally perishing at the hands of foreign invaders. Historical texts reveal that at it’s peak it had 12,000 students studying in the University. It was a premiere centre of Buddhist learning in addition to the centres previously mentioned.

Somapura University

Built by the Pala King – Dharamapala, during the 8 th century, it is located currently in Bangladesh, but previously was in undivided India, and was a great Buddhist learning centre with contribution from Hinduism and Jainism . The University was spread over an 27 acres of the land, of which the main complex itself was of 21 acres. But ravages of time contributed to it’s decline and collapse in 12th century.

Ancient Arabic and African Universities

Academy of Gondeshapur

It emerged as a centre of learning in city of Gondeshapur ( situated in modern day Iran) around 6th century AD. The credit for establishing and credibility of the academy goes to the Sassanid emperor – Khosrau 1 , who changed the city into a premiere learning centre and a place for medical referral. It was a time of political upheaval in the neighbouring areas, and the emperor gave sanctuary to lots of eminent scholars fleeing persecution. These scholars translated Greek and Syriac text for medicine, astronomy and philosophy to local language. Even Indian scholars were invited to share their knowledge on astronomy, astrology, mathematics and medicine (& Indian text translated). In the 9th century, the city came into Islamic rule and the initial rulers did their best to preserve the cultural heritage, but gradually most of the intellectual activities shifted to Baghdad and Gondeshapur disappeared into oblivion. In the modern times, the ruling house of Iran under Pahlavi Dynasty, tried to revive the glory of Gondeshapur by creating Jondishapur University & Jondishapur University of medical sciences, near the city of Ahvaz in 1955.

University of Al Quaraouiyine

The University of al Quaraquiyine is located in Morocco, North Africa. It was established in 859AD, by daughter of a wealthy merchant, who dedicated her entire inheritance to create a mosque and a madrasa. The madrasa become one of the most important centres for education and spiritual pursuit in historic Muslim world. According to UNESCO and Guinness Book of World Record , it is described as the oldest existing educational institution which is still continually operating and awarding degrees to it’s students. The focus of study in this institution is on Islamic Religion, Law, grammar and language, mathematics, medicine and astronomy. The madrasa has produced numerous scholars, who had great influence in the course of Muslim world ; Ibn Khaldun (founder of sociology) and Pope Sylvester II were some of it’s distinguished students. The mosque associated with the University is largest in Africa, with capacity for 22,000 followers. The library has collection of over 4000 rare books and ancient manuscripts.

MoroccoAl Azhar University

Al- Azhar University is situated in Egypt, and was founded in 970 AD. Initially it was founded by the rulers of Fatimid caliphate as a centre of Islamic learning, where students studied the Holy Quran and Islamic Law, grammar and logic. The mission of this university was to popularize Islamic culture and Arabic literature. Although as a modern University, it does have secular subjects in it’s curriculum. In 1961, Al Azhar was again established as a University by President Abdel Nasser, who in tune with the modern world, tried to give the university a more secular nature and broader appeal and hence introduced subjects like – Medicine, Pharmacy, Engineering, Science, Economics and Business. At present more than 4000 teaching institutions of Egypt are affiliated to it.

Ancient European Universities

University of Bologna

Founded in 1088AD, in Italy is one of the oldest continuously functioning Universities in Europe and western world. Initially it was set up to study Roman laws. Over the years a lots of modifications have happened both in organization and the subjects being taught. Now the University is divided into 33 departments and 11 schools. It has distinguished students like – Pope Alexander VI, Pope Innocent IX, Pope Gregory XV to name a few. At present it has more than 40,000 students is considered as the most prestigious Italian University.

Oxford University

Located in Oxford, England was established in 1096AD. So it can be considered to be the oldest University, in English Speaking world. One of the reason, for it’s initial growth was because of the ban placed by, King of England Henry II, who prohibited his subjects from attending University of Paris in 1167. One of the turning point in it’s history was in the year 1167, when dispute between the university students and townspeople, caused some members to migrate to neighbouring Cambridge, finally leading to establishment of “University of Cambridge”. In the modern world Oxford University is considered to be one of the most, prestigious universities of the world ; it has produced many Nobel laureates, scientists and head of state around the world.

University of Salamanca

Located in city of Salamanca, Spain, the university was founded in 1134AD. It is the oldest University in Spanish speaking world. Like most old western European Universities, it had a humble origin as a cathedral school and gradually grew into a University. It is to be noted, that when Christopher Columbus was trying hard to get the help of Spanish Royalty for his voyages to the west, he met Geography experts in University of Salamanca, and tried to convince them of his plan. During the beginning of 18th century, there was a gradual decline in standards of the University and it’s recognition. The University still exists although in much changed form. At present humanities and language studies, economics and laws form the core focus of studies down there.

University of Paris

It started in 1150AD as a cathedral school of Notre Dame de Paris, France. It is considered to be one of the oldest Universities of Europe. During the French revolution period, the University was closed down (1793). But pretty soon in 1806, the University was restarted in a new form with four faculties. In 1970, the university was again divided into 13 different Universities.

Although people may have differences about, what are the basic fundamentals to classify a teaching institution as an University and if these ancient universities indeed fulfilled all those criteria’s ; but the fact remains, that all the above Universities played an important part for the human race to be in the place, where we are today ; & they will be forever etched in the heart and mind of the people whose culture and history they changed for ever.

WORLD’S LARGEST REPOSITORY OF HINDU SCRIPTURES STARTED WITH THE “ATMA PURANA” BOOK WHICH I RECEIVED WHEN I WAS FIVE YEARS OF AGE

When His Divine Holiness Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam was around the age of five, He received the scriptural book “Atma Purana” as a gift from Isakki Swamigal, one of His childhood Gurus - a great enlightened Avadhoota (enlightened naked sadhus of India who live without food, water or clothes) from Tiruvannamalai, His birthplace. It is from this first scriptural book that He learnt even the letters of the Tamil and Sanskrit alphabet. From there started the revival of the colossal library of Vedic scriptures of “Kailaasa”, the ancient enlightenment ecosystem that existed as a worldwide civilization several thousand years ago.

Today, Nithyananda Jnanalaya – Kailaasa, is the world's largest knowledge center of Source scriptures, manuscripts and books of Hinduism, dedicated to collecting, preserving and freely sharing the 20 million Hindu scriptures that are remaining after the foreign invaders burnt the gigantic libraries (Nalanda and Takshashila to name a few) of Hindu scriptures that existed in Kailaasa in ancient India. 1000 years of ruthless invasions, genocide and destruction of ancient universities, akhadas (ancient apex bodies of Hinduism), mutts (monasteries) and Gurukuls (traditional Vedic schools), have left only 20 million Hindu texts for mankind today. His Divine Holiness reaches out to all corners of the world tirelessly to salvage and centralize these remaining 20 million scriptures. 

NANDA GRANTHA LIBRARY

The scriptures are catalogued as per ‘The Hindu Library Classification System’ as originally revealed by Lord Paramashiva to spread the infinite knowledge streams. Employing high-end soft/hard technological infrastructure.

Following are excerpts from talks of HDH on a few occasions on the Nithyananda Jnanalaya:

25 May 2014, Nithya Satsang (everyday morning discourse), Varanasi, North India:“All our Jnanalayas should be called as “Grantha Samadhis”. In Grantha Samadhi, in Hindu tradition, you cannot remove the books from that library. You should make a place available there itself with chairs and all the facilities to read. And the books should also be worshipped every day. Feel they are God, they are the embodiment of God – Vyasa and Goddess Saraswathi – and worship them to give you the right knowledge and guidance about life.

The 23rd Verse of 16th Chapter in Bhagavad Gita says: Yah shaastra vidhim uthsrijya varthathey kaamakaarathaha | Na sa siddhim avaapnothi na sukham na paraam gathim ||

“But he who discards the scriptural injunctions and acts according to his own whims, attains neither perfection nor happiness nor the supreme destination.”

Please understand, in those days, anybody who has any of these kind of conflicts, problems, questions, they will go to Naimisharanya where all the scriptures are stored, and the rishis who have read all the scriptures are available who will refer immediately to the scriptures and give answer to them, to the visitors.”

13 Feb 2018, Address during Mahasadashivaratri, Adi Kailash, Bengaluru:“

So, this is the project of Nithyananda Jnanalaya, offering to the world. Maybe some of you are aware – last 15 years of My public life, Me and our Sangha are continuously gathering all the original scriptures of Hinduism, scanning them, protecting them, translating them, and uploading them in the internet, for free research and download and educational purposes. Sothis project is successfully going on. Now we are offering this to the world. Around 15,000 manuscripts on Vedic, Agamic scriptures to the world. Please enjoy, now it is for you.” 31 Dec 2018 – Address during 42nd Avatar Jayanti Celebrations, Adi Kailash, Bengaluru:

“We are also offering to the world and to Paramashiva gift, Nithyananda jnanalaya, the world’s largest repository on Hinduism, to revive the enlightened civilization. The library has the largest knowledge center of scriptures…more than 20 million Hindu texts as foundation to revive and restore the spiritual, cultural, economic, legitimacy to the enlightened sciences, rituals and lifestyle of Sanatana Hindu Dharma. We have thousands of books and rare palm leaves and manuscripts, secret Hindu archives, and rare manuscripts for people to do research and learn and spread the science of Enlightenment.”

Nithyananda Jnanalaya:

• Digital collection of more than 14500 palm-leaf manuscripts on VedAgama, Tantra, Itihasa, Purana and more

• Procuring and printing palm leaf printing machines; printing on palm leaves for extended preservation, protection and distribution.

• More than 150,000 books on Hinduism

• More than 10,000 rare books from many personal collections, mutts (ancient monasteries) and temples. 

• Hindu book collections in English, Tamil, Hindi, Sanskrit, Gujarati, Bengali, Kannada and Telugu. The Kailaasa Nithyananda Library has procured huge collection on various research done in the field of Indology which mainly includes Dharmashastra, Darshana, Itihaasa, temple science, art and architecture, culture and tradition, Vedic sciences, ancient Indian politics, Hindu Law, Hindu cooking and many other such subjects. study of Art and architecture, language, civilizations, philosophy, Yoga and Ayurveda. Some of the special contribution of the Kailasa Hindu Library include the publication of books such as the Nithyananda Jnana Padhdhati, Nithyananda Yoga and discourses by His Divine Holiness on ancient texts such as the Bhagavad Gita

• Largest collection of Shaiva Agama in the world

• Largest collection on Kashmiri Shaivism in world

• Establishing In-House printing for all Digital collection

• In-Collaboration with traditional libraries of oldest mutts (monasteries) and personal collections of individuals.

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) - The OCR application is to allow scanned text to be converted into unicode text which can be indexed and searched. The aim is to support OCR of all Indian languages which have texts related to Hinduism. We have successfully developed and tested OCR on a variety of texts with more than one script in a specific text. The OCR (Optical Character Recognition) experiments has produced good results as mentioned below: • OCR of Sanskrit Text• OCR of Kannada, Tamil, Devanagari and few other scripts. • OCR of Books containing texts in Sanskrit and English together• OCR of Sanskrit and Kannada or Sanskrit and Tamil together This is one of the unique contributions by His Divine Holiness to Sanatana Dharma, to make all our Hindu texts to have far reaching accession to people across the globe.

Search Engine:

In present time, we need the ability to phonetically search material, irrespective of the text present in the content of our Scriptures. With the use of latest technology, we have made scriptures more accessible to modern times. This search engine is the first of its kind developed using Panini Grammar and has the following features: 

● If we search for the word 'Shiva' the search result should include content matching 'Shiva', 'शिव' or written in any other script like Kannada, Tamil etc.

● The phonetics definition should be according to the aksharas (letters) defined in Sanskrit. For e.g., search for 'shiv' should bring up 'शिवे', शिवो' etc. The pictures in this post show the ruins of ancient scriptural libraries Nalanda and Takshashila, and revival of scriptures as part of revival of Kailaasa by His Divine Holiness starting from the photograph of Isakki Swamigal and the "Atma Purana" book.

For His untiring effort in reviving Hinduism His Divine Holiness has been recognised worldwide through numerous awards. The latest award being from The Azteca University in Mexico which recognized the tremendous scientific contribution made by His Divine Holiness Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam in the field of Superconsciousness and awarded Him an “Honorary Doctor of Sciences in Hinduism” for this work.

Top 5 Oldest Universities Around The World

Education is one of the most important aspect not from today but it is important from ancient times. Man has understood the importance of science and education from early days, he is trying to gain knowledge and trying to understand the various mysteries and secret of the universe. Today like University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, Stanford University etc. are renowned and world famous for their education but the humans have established various universities in ancient times also. Li Haidong is presenting you the list of Top 5 Oldest Universities around the World.  

1.) University of Takshashila: Ancient India (Founded 700 BC)

The world's first University was established in Takshila or Taxila or Takshashila in Ancient India (now in Pakistan) around 700BC. Initially there was not much facilities but over the time, some additional buildings were made, rulers started giving donations and more scholars migrated there. Gradually over time a large campus was developed, which became an important place of learning in the ancient world.

Not only Indians but also students from different countries like Greece, Syria, Babylonia, Arabia, China and Phoenicia came to study around 68 different streams of knowledge. Multiple types of subjects were taught by the experienced masters: Vedas, Astronomy, Astrology, Accounts, Commerce, Language, Grammar, Philosophy, Medicine, Surgery, Documentation, Occult, Music, Dance, Archery, Politics, Warfare, Futurology etc.

The minimum age to enter was 16 years and there were around 10,500 students. The panel of masters included some of the renowned names like Kautilya (the author of the “Arthashastra”), Jivak (medicine), Vishnu Sharma (author and compiler of the Panchtantra) and Panini (the codifier of Sanskrit into today’s form).

2: Nalanda University (Founded: 600 BC)

Nalanda University was one of the first universities in the world, founded approximately around 600 BC, and also reported to have been visited by the Great Buddha himself during his lifetime. At its peak, around 7th century AD, Nalanda University held around 10,000 students and 2000 teachers when it was visited by the great Chinese scholar Xuanzang.

WORLD’S LARGEST REPOSITORY OF HINDU SCRIPTURES STARTED WITH THE “ATMA PURANA” BOOK WHICH I RECEIVED WHEN I WAS FIVE YEARS OF AGE

When His Divine Holiness Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam was around the age of five, He received the scriptural book “Atma Purana” as a gift from Isakki Swamigal, one of His childhood Gurus - a great enlightened Avadhoota (enlightened naked sadhus of India who live without food, water or clothes) from Tiruvannamalai, His birthplace. It is from this first scriptural book that He learnt even the letters of the Tamil and Sanskrit alphabet. From there started the revival of the colossal library of Vedic scriptures of “Kailaasa”, the ancient enlightenment ecosystem that existed as a worldwide civilization several thousand years ago.

Today, Nithyananda Jnanalaya – Kailaasa, is the world's largest knowledge center of Source scriptures, manuscripts and books of Hinduism, dedicated to collecting, preserving and freely sharing the 20 million Hindu scriptures that are remaining after the foreign invaders burnt the gigantic libraries (Nalanda and Takshashila to name a few) of Hindu scriptures that existed in Kailaasa in ancient India. 1000 years of ruthless invasions, genocide and destruction of ancient universities, akhadas (ancient apex bodies of Hinduism), mutts (monasteries) and Gurukuls (traditional Vedic schools), have left only 20 million Hindu texts for mankind today. His Divine Holiness reaches out to all corners of the world tirelessly to salvage and centralize these remaining 20 million scriptures. 

NANDA GRANTHA LIBRARY

The scriptures are catalogued as per ‘The Hindu Library Classification System’ as originally revealed by Lord Paramashiva to spread the infinite knowledge streams. Employing high-end soft/hard technological infrastructure.

Following are excerpts from talks of HDH on a few occasions on the Nithyananda Jnanalaya:

25 May 2014, Nithya Satsang (everyday morning discourse), Varanasi, North India:

“All our Jnanalayas should be called as “Grantha Samadhis”. In Grantha Samadhi, in Hindu tradition, you cannot remove the books from that library. You should make a place available there itself with chairs and all the facilities to read. And the books should also be worshipped every day. Feel they are God, they are the embodiment of God – Vyasa and Goddess Saraswathi – and worship them to give you the right knowledge and guidance about life.

The 23rd Verse of 16th Chapter in Bhagavad Gita says:

Yah shaastra vidhim uthsrijya varthathey kaamakaarathaha |

Na sa siddhim avaapnothi na sukham na paraam gathim ||

“But he who discards the scriptural injunctions and acts according to his own whims, attains neither perfection nor happiness nor the supreme destination.”

Please understand, in those days, anybody who has any of these kind of conflicts, problems, questions, they will go to Naimisharanya where all the scriptures are stored, and the rishis who have read all the scriptures are available who will refer immediately to the scriptures and give answer to them, to the visitors.”

13 Feb 2018, Address during Mahasadashivaratri, Adi Kailash, Bengaluru:

“So, this is the project of Nithyananda Jnanalaya, offering to the world. Maybe some of you are aware – last 15 years of My public life, Me and our Sangha are continuously gathering all the original scriptures of Hinduism, scanning them, protecting them, translating them, and uploading them in the internet, for free research and download and educational purposes. Sothis project is successfully going on. Now we are offering this to the world. Around 15,000 manuscripts on Vedic, Agamic scriptures to the world. Please enjoy, now it is for you.”

31 Dec 2018 – Address during 42nd Avatar Jayanti Celebrations, Adi Kailash, Bengaluru:

“We are also offering to the world and to Paramashiva gift, Nithyananda jnanalaya, the world’s largest repository on Hinduism, to revive the enlightened civilization. The library has the largest knowledge center of scriptures…more than 20 million Hindu texts as foundation to revive and restore the spiritual, cultural, economic, legitimacy to the enlightened sciences, rituals and lifestyle of Sanatana Hindu Dharma. We have thousands of books and rare palm leaves and manuscripts, secret Hindu archives, and rare manuscripts for people to do research and learn and spread the science of Enlightenment. “

The aim is to support OCR of all Indian languages which have texts related to Hinduism. We have successfully developed and tested OCR on a variety of texts with more than one script in a specific text.

This is one of the unique contributions by His Divine Holiness to Sanatana Dharma, to make all our Hindu texts to have far reaching accession to people across the globe.

Search Engine:

In present time, we need the ability to phonetically search material, irrespective of the text present in the content of our Scriptures. With the use of latest technology, we have made scriptures more accessible to modern times. This search engine is the first of its kind developed using Panini Grammar and has the following features: 

● If we search for the word 'Shiva' the search result should include content matching 'Shiva', 'शिव' or written in any other script like Kannada, Tamil etc.

● The phonetics definition should be according to the aksharas (letters) defined in Sanskrit. For e.g., search for 'shiv' should bring up 'शिवे', शिवो' etc.

The pictures in this post show the ruins of ancient scriptural libraries Nalanda and Takshashila, and revival of scriptures as part of revival of Kailaasa by His Divine Holiness starting from the photograph of Isakki Swamigal and the "Atma Purana" book.

For His untiring effort in reviving Hinduism His Divine Holiness has been recognised worldwide through numerous awards. The latest award being from The Azteca University in Mexico which recognized the tremendous scientific contribution made by His Divine Holiness Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam in the field of Superconsciousness and awarded Him an “Honorary Doctor of Sciences in Hinduism” for this work.

Avantika University: Spearheading the Education Foundation in Ujjain

India is one of the unique countries in the world, thanks to its expansive and intricate practices and customs that have remained relevant since the last 5000 years.

Amidst this amalgamation, however, one facet has continuously thrived to be at the centre of all the developments - education.

Education is one of the strongholds of the country today, thanks to the importance that is given to it. Since the ancient gurukul way of learning, India has relied on education for foundation and sustenance, wherein it stressed on moulding one's creative, analytical, critical and physical attributes. With widespread relevance towards education, India has always adapted to various trends & technologies seamlessly without giving rise to any conflict. Various learning centres across the country at Nalanda, Takshashila, Benaras and Ujjain called out people from across the world to expand their learning, making India one of the finest educational hubs in the world.

Among the aforementioned places, one can clearly see Ujjain still being relevant in the education sector. Having played a major role in the education landscape in multiple domains, the place was home to various renowned poets including the likes of Kalidas, Philosopher Maharishi Ved Vyas and Guru’s Guru Sandipani. Inculcating a liberal way of thinking, the city has continued to be an important spiritual, educational, and cultural city of the nation. Thanks to this notion, Ujjain is now home to one of the finest design college in India, the Avantika University.

Avantika University proudly attests itself as India's first Design Centred university that thrives on the spirit of Design Thinking. With a unique academic model that amalgamates design, technology and economics, Avantika is poised to provide the best design courses in the country, to create aspiring design leaders.
