The University of the New Millennium will occupy a key role in the production of wealth of all kinds – social, cultural and economic. It will be the pivotal institution in both the learning society and the knowledge economy. The University faces new challenges – from rival knowledge institutions that do not subscribe to its liberal traditions and its commitment to critical learning, and from those who resist too close an engagement with society and the economy.

Rohilkhand University seeks to establish a learning culture in which teaching and research of the highest quality are able to flourish equally. It aims to combine respect for traditional academic values with enthusiasm for novelty and innovation in higher education. It remains committed to offering a comprehensive range of teaching and research programmes, to reflect the universality of knowledge and the vital connections between academic disciplines.
