The Gujarat Vidyapith is a major university situated in Ahmedabad, in the state of Gujarat in India. It was established in 18th October, 1920 by Mahatma Gandhi, the leader of the Indian independence movement. "Vidyapith", in many languages of India, means "University." Gujarat Vidyapith is funded by the U. G. C. (University Grants Commission) for higher education programs. It was started as Rashtriya Vidyapith (National Institute of University Education) and was the wake of the Non-cooperative Movement.
After India's independence, the Gujarat Vidyapith became a deemed university in 1963, and it is funded and governed by the University Grants Commission, under the Union Ministry for Human Resources Development in New Delhi. Although considerably modernized in its structure and curriculum, the university maintains its commitment to Gandhian ideals, human studies, social service and development work.
