Vision & Mission Statement

Fifty years ago, Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya (Gurudev),scholar-saint and founder of Gayatri Pariwar,dreamt of a unique university that combined the precepts of practical knowledge (shiksha) and spiritual education (vidya) to create truly enlightened students. These students would be well rounded and holistically developed human beings to achieve the highest levels in all fields, and channelize all their efforts towards the goal of a divine value based society. They would follow a simple and spiritual lifestyle. They would also derive benefits from both state-of-the-art facilities and tested traditional methods.

The foundation was laid in 1999 under the flagship of the mother institution, Shantikunj, which is a spiritual academy and the head quarter of All World Gayatri Pariwar. In the month of January, 2002, the vision became a reality when the university was recognized by the University Grants Commission. Now, this university is truly the center of divine culture that Gurudev had imagined. Unlike most, it caters to all aspects of its students’ lives—academic as well as cultural, spiritual, and social. The ultimate objective of the students at DSVV is not mere bread winning but also molding themselves into responsible citizens for a developed and prosperous society. Students and teachers at DSVV are committed to this philosophy. They try to solve global problems through innovative methods. They keep alive the Vedic tradition, in which the students & teachers observe a healthy, simple lifestyle that keeps the focus on their cultural values. Yog, Yagya, Collective prayer and meditation are a part of their academic routine. Along with competence development, a DSVV student is also molded to be an excellent human being.
