Vision

The Mahavidyalay aims to present society with a generation of youth…

Who not only hold a degree, but have a creative intellect,

Who not only have talent, but possess character,

Who not only possess information, but also deep understanding,

Who are not only capable, but have the enthusiasm to match.

The BAPS Swaminarayan Sanskrit Mahavidyalay is situated in Sarangpur and was established and inaugurated in 2013, by world-renowned and universally respected guru Pramuk¬h Swami Maharaj and is currently nurtured under the guidance of Guru Mahant Swami Maharaj. The Mahavidyalay was designed to be more than just an institution of higher education. It is also a place that moulds the lives of students by fostering a values-centric environment.
