Gurukula
Kangri Vishwavidyalaya was founded on March 4, 1902 by Swami Shraddhanandaji
with the sole aim to revive the ancient Indian Gurukula System of
education, on the bank of Ganges at a distance of about 6 km. from
Hardwar and about 200 km. from Delhi. This institution was established
with the objective of providing an indigenous alternative to Lord
Macaly's education policy by imparting education in the areas of
vedic literature, Indian philosophy, Indian culture, modern sciences
and research.
Arya Samaj has been advocating
women's education since the day it was founded. As part of its policies
for the up-liftment of women in the country, Kanya Gurukula Mahavidyalaya,
Dehradun was established in 1922 by Acharya Ramdevji as a second
campus of women's education. To give real shape to the dreams of
Swami Shraddhanandaji, a new campus for women's education, Kanya
Gurukula Mahavidyalaya, Hardwar was established in 1993 for PG classes
for girls. Gurukula has witnessed many
