I am very happy that this institution has been created with the motto of developing the divine culture which is of utmost importance to us while we are in the path of transforming India into a prosperous, happy, peaceful society.
“Highly impressed, great institute”,
Today, along with worldly knowledge, it is necessary to have knowledge of spirituality to become a good human being. This work is being done well in Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya,
My visit to DSVV at Haridwar has not only taken me through a spiritual journey but also reminded me of the remarkable role played by our ancient Gurukul system in the holistic and well-rounded development of individuals.,
I am really very fortunate that I got the chance to hoist the pride of the country, our National flag on such a sacred and divine land.,
Only ‘Career Oriented Education’ can give you material happiness, not spiritual peace. If you want to attain spiritual peace and join the journey that is going on for the welfare of the country.
I am impressed by the breadth and the scope of the learning, of the experience, of the understanding of the world that you are prepared with as you go out, and help the global family. So I congratulate you.
Coming here, it seems that the great men of the country made the hypotheses that a university should go ahead with our culture, our values scientifically, today every countryman can be proud to see all those hypotheses being fulfilled here.,
This university is providing a new direction to the society and education world.,
I would like to avail of this occasion to record my appreciation of the great ideas that vishwavidyalaya has achieved in a short span of a decade.,
