JRN Rajasthan Vidyapeeth University, Udaipur
Pandit Janardan Rai Nagar established ’Rajasthan Vidyapeeth’ in 1937 to uplift the downtrodden common man in the feudal state of Mewar. Started as a Night Study Centre for the Elementary, Secondary and Advanced Courses in Hindi, our national language, Rajasthan Vidyapeeth has grown into a large complex of more than 50 institutions spread over several districts of Rajasthan.
Historically, Rajasthan has been a paradise for knowledge seekers, as it has a rich cultural heritage in the form of manuscripts, historic documents, icons, epigraphs and monuments. Late Manishi Pandit Janardan Rai Nagar’s initiative and vision led him to start the Prachin Shitya Shodh sansthan in 1941 to preserve, edit, translate and publish old manuscripts. Probably, it was a unique Institute of its kind in Rajasthan, which was established for the conservation of cultural heritage.
After the historic event of the unification of Rajasthan, ’Hindi Vidyapeeth’ added new dimensions to its basic objectives. It became a leading Non-Government Organization during the course of its journey and the founder Pandit Janardan Rai Nagar renamed it as Rajasthan Vidyapeeth.
A number of other institutes like Higher Secondary School, Secondary School, Post-basic School and the Centre for Fine Arts were also started by Vidyapeeth to provide education to all the sections of society. The College of Teachers’ Training was another major event on the path of progress of Vidyapeeth during the seventies.
The prestige enjoyed by it during all these years is reflected in the fact that eminent personalities like Late Shri Bhopal Singh, Maharana of Mewar, Dr. Karan Singh of Kashmir, Shriyut Srimannarian, Mahapandit Shri Rahul Sankrityanan, etc. have graced the chair of Chancellor of Rajasthan Vidyapeeth. The eminent persons, who visited Vidyapeeth, include Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, Jai Prakash Narain, Vinoba Bhave, Mrs. Indira Gandhi, Dr. Rajendra Prased and Dr. Radha Krishnan.
Since then, a number of different types of courses, including professional ones, for the benefit of the society, have been launched. Its guiding objectives have invariably been to provide research based qualitative education to community through preservation and conservation of our socio-cultural values.
The institution is not only spreading its wings of education in the country itself but has also entered into the area of international studies through academic exchange of its students and faculty members to Slippery Rock University, a Prestigious University of USA.
