Anant National University, located in the sprawling Sanskardham campus in Ahmedabad, is the first Design University of India. It is committed to nurturing Solutionaries, people who are revolutionary in their thinking, but solution-oriented in their approach.
We believe that Built Environment both substantially draws from as well as defines the contours of a nation – from its history, topography, culture, ecology, and aesthetic, to the lifestyle, social structures, productivity, and well-being of its citizens. At the same time, the pace of global problems implores us to think, experiment, learn, invent, and use technological advancements to come up with solutions that can significantly improve the lives of people and health of our planet.
Our philosophy, therefore, is to ensure that students stay abreast of and draw from best global practices and processes, deploy them in the uniquely Indian scenario and search for enriching possibilities that have a lasting impact.
Drawing from this philosophical belief, the AnantU pedagogy champions the revolutionization of current practices and processes so that students, as future practitioners in the field, are encouraged to view the entire continuum and not import ideas from lock stock and barrel which address only a small element of the problem, if at all.
Stemming from the knowledge that students are a direct reflection of enthusiasm, experience, skills and teaching imparted by the faculty and their peers, a rich discourse is encouraged through classroom discussions, field visits, studios, and through radical experiments that play a crucial role in influencing and shaping minds on both sides of the ongoing informed debate.
Practising professionals and renowned academics from diverse fields are invited to present their experiences and interact with the AnantU Community through lectures, workshops, and studio sessions. These formal and informal interactions form an essential part of the learning experience and help imbibe state-of-art education and best practices in their daily lives.

Vision:
Anant National University currently encompasses a state-of-the-art campus with studio spaces and well-equipped workshops for climatology, carpentry, metal working and ceramics. Its picturesque lake visible from all classrooms, the spacious amphitheatre and green landscapes surrounding the main building add to the charm of this grand campus.
As AnantU prepares to realize its vision of becoming one of the top universities in India and the world, it has designed the campus masterplan in line with that vision. The masterplan includes flexible spaces for learning and hands-on activity, fab-labs and exhibition spaces in addition to state of the art facilities for sports and student housing. Importantly, the campus is being designed to be a net zero campus, one that will safeguard more than 90% of the mature trees currently present and be amongst the greenest campuses in the world.
AnantU believes in providing holistic development to all its students by focusing on their mind (academics), body (sports) and spirit (engagement). Its state-of-the-art campus provides facilities for students to strengthen their head, hands and heart. 3D printing facilities allow students to experiment with prototypes of their designs and test out new ideas. Badminton court, volleyball court and an indoor tennis room are accessible to students at all times. When in mood to unwind, they can take a stroll amidst nature or simply sit under the expansive shade of big banyan trees in campus.
Students at AnantU have access to its library with several books on architecture, design and urban planning written by Indian and foreign authors. The university also subscribes to online and print journals and magazines and makes available a variety of online content in the form of articles, videos and databases.
