History

The Gandhi Vidya Mandir was established in 1950 envisioned by Shri Kanhaiyalal Dugar, on the Gandhian ideals, who later embraced sainthood. In 1950 it stood on a 1000-acre land on one of the harshest and backward terrains in India. Conceived as India's first rural university, the foundation stone was laid by India's first president, Dr. Rajendra Prasad GVM was moulded as a university and education started through its Basic Teacher's Training College in 1953, postgraduate studies in 1958 and the facility of Ph.D. in 1968. Thereafter, the IASE was formed under the Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Education in 1993. In 2002, the Government of India and UGC formally recognized the IASE as a Deemed University. Between the year 1986–1989 the GVM with funding from NCERT and NIEPA did a series of projects, seminars and researches in the area of changes to be made in Education curricula and especially Teachers’ Education for making it more rural oriented. In 1987 G.V.M. in collaboration with NCERT and India International Centre drafted a Blue Print of Rural Education for development. Many of the recommendations made are still being implemented by the Government. The first lesson was delivered by the renowned Saint-poet Shri Viyogi Hari in 1952, to three students. There are about 10,000 students on a campus of 1,200 acres, today.

Social presence

Since the inception of Gandhi Vidya Mandir they have done numerous relief camps. Swami Kanhyialal Dugar started relief camps and helped the villages nearby by treating people for free. The tradition still continues and relief camps were also arranged when Uttarakhand floods in 2013 caused huge damages. Even for J&K floods they played a major part in relieving camp. Till date, people in churu and nearby villages seek free treatment in their ayurvedic college. Gandhiji said "You must be the change you want to see in the world". We can see that change in this institution.
