About the University: Jain Vishva Bharati University was established with the inspiration of late Gurudev Tulsi, a great, saint and scholar of the modern era. In 1991, Government of India notified JVBU as Deemed to be University under Section 3 of University Grants Commission Act, 1956. Acharya Mahapragya was the master mind behind the conception of this institute. He played a key role in its establishment. Acharya Mahapragya was the supreme head of this university since 1995.
The University aims at to revive truth and values hidden in the ancient Indian tradition in general and in the Jain tradition in particular. One of the most important aims of the university is to spread literacy in subjects like Non-violence and Peace, Jainology, Sanskrit, Prakrit, Yoga, Meditation and Literature. Human life is multidimensional. Life has many aspects like physical, spiritual, economic, social, cultural, political etc. It can’t be captained in terms of any single aspect. Acharaya Mahapragya believed that there are four dimensions of education: Bodily development and the Intellectual development. The other two are neglected and that creates imbalance in education. According to Acharya Mahaprajna “The main aim of education is the integrated development of personality, i.e. physical, mental, intellectual and emotional development.”
The goal of the JVBU has been clearly spelt out in the preamble of its Constitution (Memorandum and Articles of Association) which reads as under:
The Jain Vishva Bharati University is an endeavour in the direction of putting into practice, promote and propagate the high ideals of Anekant, Ahimsa, Tolerance and Peaceful Co-existence for the weal of the mankind, “We, the members of the Jain Vishva Bharati, therefore resolve to constitute and establish the said University of Advanced Studies, Research & Training in Jainology in the context of comparative studies in Indology, World Religions, Ahimsa and World Peace.
