Kashi Vidya Peeth

The Kashi Vidya Peeth was set up in 1920 by Babu Shiv Prasad Gupta to

provide alternate education arrangement during the Non-cooperation

movement during India's freedom struggle. It soon became a center of

National education with Hindi as the medium of instruction. Acharya

Narendradev, Babu Sampurnanand, Babu Sriprakash and many more

luminaries of the time have been associated with this institute. Over a

period of time, the Kashi Vidyapeeth has flourished into an educational

institute of repute. 

Today, the university offers courses almost on all disciplines ranging from

humanities and management to life sciences. A medical college is also

being planned in the University. Besides, the Mahatma Gandhi Kashi

Vidyapeeth has taken a great leap forward by keeping pace with the

changing times and offering new courses according to the needs of the

times and also the students. As a result of this many new departments

and faculties have come up at the University campus in the last few years.
