Sri Guru Granth Sahib World University

Sri Guru Granth Sahib World University, Fatehgarh Sahib is a charitable and humanitarian project undertaken by the SGPC to impart higher education to learners belonging to all creeds, castes and religions. The University was set up in 2011to commemorate the historic event of 400th Anniversary of compilation and the first installation of Sri Guru Granth Sahib. Situated at Fatehgarh Sahib, a place sanctified by the martyrdom of the younger Sahibzada’s of Sri Guru Gobind Singh ji – martyrdom which is nonpareil in the history of humankind – the University has evolved as a renowned institution of higher learning in the country in a short span of time.

With its mandate to focus on providing quality education, research and training in diverse fields which are of great contemporary relevance such as emerging technologies, basic, applied and medical sciences, Sikh religion, humanities, languages and physical education, the University offers a host of innovative programmes in these domains. The curricula designed for most programmes are interdisciplinary and encourage critical thinking. The pedagogic methods are geared towards providing interactive learning experience. Apart from this, the University provides spiritually and intellectually enriching and safe environment conducive to the growth of holistic personality of the learners. Engendering of moral and ethical values is an important aim that remains central to the academic life of the University.

The University Campus is a unique architectural marvel spread over 140 acres of land. All the labs are equipped with state of the art equipment. A canteen, hostel facilities, and transport facilities are available for those students who wish to commute daily from various places. For inclusive education and for encouraging excellence in academic, extracurricular and sports fields, the University offers liberal scholarships to the learners.

In this era of globalisation and specialisation when ever-widening horizons of knowledge are endeavouring to scale the acme of excellence, Sri Guru Granth Sahib World University, in tune with the times, visualises a value based knowledge society. We strive to disseminate the right type of knowledge for social and economic transformation of the country. Our effort is to harmonize the lofty values embodied in the sacred Sri Guru Granth Shahib and other holy scriptures with the rapidly advancing technologies worldwide. With this visionary mission in mind, the University has introduced market relevant courses in Emerging Technologies with an opportunity of employability. Not only this, the university , in its pursuit for excellence, strives to inculcate leadership qualities and innovative abilities among the students to give an impetus to research-oriented growth.

We have a world class infrastructure, latest equipment & a dedicated faculty to translate our dreams into reality. While focusing on intensive study and research in the areas of world religions, cultures and civilizations, we lay equal stress simultaneously on the teaching of Emerging Technologies, Social Sciences and Languages. We have made collaborative arrangements with foreign universities under which scholars from this university will be sent abroad for the last spell of their course. We have just made the beginning, the best is just to come. We strive for perfection in every sphere as Tennyson rightly says "Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers, lingers on the shore man withers, but the world is more and more ”
