 BANARAS HINDU UNIVERSITY AT A GLANCE
The Banaras Hindu University (BHU), founded by Mahamana Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya ji in
1916, is one of the most prestigious Central Universities in the country. An autonomous
institution of distinction and having the Hon'ble President of India as its Visitor, BHU is the largest
residential University in Asia. Being a living embodiment of such visionaries as Mahamana Malaviya
ji, Dr. Annie Besant and Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, this seat of learning epitomizes a synthesis of
ancient wisdom and modern scientific temper. Its holistic model of education, conceived and
enriched by its illustrious founder, offers refreshingly new perspectives to young minds and
nurtures and facilitates their creative talents.

The Founder's Vision

• "It is my earnest hope and prayer that this center of life and light, which is coming into
existence, will produce students who will not only be intellectually equal to the best
of their fellow students in other parts of the world, but will also live a noble life,
love their country and be loyal to the Supreme Ruler."

• "A teaching university would but half perform its function if it does not
seek to develop the heart power of its scholars with the same solicitude
with which it develops their brain power. Hence, this university has
placed formation of character in youth as one of its principal objects. It
will seek not merely to turn out men as Engineers, Scientists, Doctors,
Theologists, Merchants, but also as men of high character, probity and
honor, whose conduct through life would show that they bear the
hallmark of a great university."

The University

This University was conceived as a residential university, keeping in view

its objective of complete character development and thorough
mentoring of students. Perhaps this is the only university in the world
where courses ranging from nursery and primary school up to Doctoral/
Post-doctoral degrees are taught and pursued within a walled campus
spread over 550 Hectares (1360 acres) and having majestic buildings
of great architectural delight.

It enshrines within its precincts, a phenomenal range of teaching

& Technology) 4 departments/schools are supported under FIST programme of DST. It also has
four colleges admitted to the privileges of the university which are located in the city. The
