About University
A University, with its inherent futuristic vision, is expected to be the think tank of society, the mentor of industry and pathfinder for overall development and effective utilization of manpower and natural resources. The first Prime Minister of India, Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru wrote "Ujjain seems to me the ideal place for a great University and culture centre to grow up, where our young men and women can pursue learning and develop themselves as good citizens of India." The idea was translated into action and the Vikram University came into existence on March 1, 1957 with its dictum as ^^fo|;k·e`reÜuqrs** (Knowledge is the foundation of immortality) and well defined crystal clear objectives as:

1. 1 To reinstate the historical prestigious position of Ujjain as centre of excellence in multi dimensional scholarship.
2. To promote and patronize traditional Indian Culture, Arts, Science and Literature.
3. To emerge as a unique seat of learning by promulgating the importance of both traditional and modern knowledge by setting nimble coordination between them.
