Banasthali Vidyapith - Banasthali University

Banasthali VidyapithBanasthali Vidyapith is a fully residential women's university which offers an integrated system extending from the primary to the Ph.D.level.It was on October 6, 1935 that Smt. Ratan Shastri and Pandit Hiralal Shastri founded Banasthali to fill up the vacuum caused by the suddendeath of their highly talented and promising daughter Shantabai. They had high expectations that she would work for women's cause whenshe would grow up. But destiny ordained otherwise.Thus, Banasthali owes its existence neither to the zeal of an educationist, nor to that of a social reformer. It is also not the creation of aPhilanthropist's purse. It has arisen like the fabled phoenix from the ashes of a blossoming flower Shantabai.Banasthali is one of the five universities in India meant exclusively for Women. Over these seventy five years Banasthali has developed intoa National Centre for women's education. Banasthali's educational programme aims at an all-round development of the student's personality.To achieve its objective of 'synthesis of spiritual values and scientific achievements of the East and the West', it has evolved Five-foldEducational Programme (Panchmukhi Shiksha) comprising of the following aspects : (i) Physical, (ii) Practical, (iii) Aesthetic, (iv) Moraland (v) Intellectual.
