About Us

ABOUT GVM
Gandhi Vidya Mandir (GVM) is nestled like an oasis in the Thar desert, near the town of Sardarshahr in India’s north-western state of Rajasthan. It is about 300 km west of Delhi , 125 km east of Bikaner and 230 km north of Jaipur (connected by rail and road). GVM has its own triad of helipads.

GVM was founded in 1950, on a 1200- acre piece of land, on one of the harshest and most backward terrains. Acutely prone to droughts, heat and cold waves, epidemics and other travesties of nature, GVM has striven to alleviate the acute backwardness through various permanent and adhoc programmes of education, culture, livelihood, health and hygiene, vocations etc.
There is no discrimination on the lines of caste, creed, class, colour orideological or political
learning. The rich cultural and spiritual heritage of India and propagation of Gandhian ideals of
Ahimsa, Sarvoday and Universal Brotherhood are given due importance in the curricular, as well
as periodical, programmes.
GVM was the vision of Shri Kanhaiyalal Dugar who later embraced sanyas and came to be
known as Swami Shri Ramsharanji, an embodiment of universal humanism. He, with the blood
and sweat of many devoted social workers, philanthropists, students and staff, created this
epitome of emulative excellence in human endeavor. Shri Dugar dedicated his entire life and all
his personal wealth to the cause of education and up-liftment of the down-trodden.
GVM boasts over 10,000 resident / non-resident students, from pre-primary to Ph.D.level. There

is a separate multi-faculty colleges for girls and co-educational colleges in Ayurved, Para-
Medical, Life Sciences, Veterinary Sciences, IT and Management Engineering, Art, Science and

Commerce.
There are well-planned hostel (A.C./Air-cooled also) for 2000 students, separate for boys and
girls, amidst a self-contained colony of academicians. The sprawling 1200 acres university
campus is a verdant oasis in the lap of an intense desert. It is dotted by large parks, gardens,
playgrounds, auditoria, cultural and spiritual centres.
GVM was conceptualized and nurtured as a University. The studies in education started in 1953,
through its basic Teacher’s Training College . The degree courses started in 1956, postgraduate in
1958 and the facility for Ph.D was added in 1968. ‘The Institute of Advanced Studies in
Education’ came into being under the Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Education in 1993.
The new millennium heralded the dawn of a dream-come true. After an arduous toil of over fifty
years, Institute of Advanced Studies in Education (IASE) of GVM was formally recognized as
Deemed to be University of Government of India and UGC, in 2002. IASE is India’s premiere
Institute in the Faculty of Education; facilitating teacher’s training from primary level up to the
doctoral stage.

Distance Education Programme was started in 2003 with the objective of bringing education to
all those who seek it at a place, pace and time of their own choosing, and to inculcate the spirit of
life-long learning, at an affordable cost. This beautifully fits into the vision of our founding
fathers. Over a period of time, thousand of students have benefited in diverse fields of Education,
IT & Management, Engineering, Paramedical, Bio-Technology, Science & Humanities from
certification upto post-graduate programmes.

ABOUT DDU-GKY
Vision: Transform rural poor youth into an economically independent and globally relevant
workforce
The Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD) announced the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen
Kaushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY) Antyodaya Diwas, on 25th September 2014. DDU-GKY is a
part of the National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM), tasked with the dual objectives of adding
diversity to the incomes of rural poor families and cater to the career aspirations of rural youth.
DDU-GKY is uniquely focused on rural youth between the ages of 15 and 35 years from poor
families. As a part of the Skill India campaign, it plays an instrumental role in supporting the
social and economic programs of the government like the Make In India, Digital India, Smart
Cities and Start-Up India, Stand-Up India campaigns. Over 180 million or 69% of the country’s
youth population between the ages of 18 and 34 years, live in its rural areas. Of these, the bottom
of the pyramid youth from poor families with no or marginal employment number about 55
million.
The National Policy for Skill Development & Entrepreneurship 2015 has identified a skills gap of
109.73 million in 24 key sectors by the year 2022. This number cannot be achieved without
addressing the BoP 55 million from rural India. Also, a FICCI and Ernst – Young study published
in 2013 identified a shortage of over 47 million skilled workers across the globe by 2020. This
presents an unprecedented opportunity for India to train its BoP youth population and place them
in jobs across the world and realize its demographic dividend.
DDU-GKY takes pride in its partners and their ability to add value. Innovation from partners is
encouraged to build scale and capacity... its unique implementation structure involves partners,
who are by nature, committed to changing lives and are experts in their areas, they form a part of
the Skilling Ecosystem integrated by DDU-GKY. Partners are supported through investment,
capacity building, strategies for retention, linkages to international placement and technology
support for training purposes.
DDU-GKY is present in 28 States and UTs, across 689 districts, impacting youth from over 7,426
blocks. It currently has over 1,575 projects being implemented by over 717 partners, in more than
502 trades from 50 industry sectors. Over 9.9 Lakh candidates have been trained and over 5.3
Lakh candidates have been placed in jobs as on 1st April, 2020. From 2012, DDU-GKY has so
far committed an investment of more than INR 5,600 Crores, impacting rural youth pan-India.
