Banasthali Vidyapith, established in 1935, is the world’s largest residential university for women, doing pioneering work in its field for more than eight decades.Only of its kind origin: The ‘Banasthali story’ has no parallel across the globe. It originated in only of its kind situation when a father lost his promising daughter before its hour and decided to train other girls the same way. Thus, Banasthali embarked upon its journey with only five students way back in 1935 when the concept of education for the girl child virtually didn't exist. The founders went door-to-door to recruit students. There was no question of charging any fee and they also went door-to-door to collect donations to carry out their dream.Phenomenal Growth: That small experiment, over the last eight decades, has blossomed into world’s largest fully residential women’s university having 11000 students on its 850-acre campus situated amidst rural settings in Rajasthan, having a distinct educational ideology and offering a variety of programmes from nursery up to doctoral level across a wide spectrum of disciplines to prepare enlightened citizens with strong value-base.Banasthali has been on the forefront ever since it commenced an innovative experiment in women’s education. As a premier university for women’s education, the university known the world over for educational facilities; is nestled in a serene and pious environment amidst an ambience of Indian ethos and culture. Banasthali aims at synthesizing and balancing scientific achievements and spiritual values of the east and west to prepare women for enlightened leadership roles in all walks of life.Distinct Educational Ideology: Banasthali’s educational ideology is based on the concept of five-fold education comprising physical, practical, aesthetic, intellectual and, above all, moral aspects to develop an integrated and balanced personality of the students besides providing the requisite professional training. It believes in simple living and high thinking. The Vidyapith has kept pace with changing times but has never compromised with its core principles.
