Welcome to Vidyasagar University

Vidyasagar University, named after one of the most illustrious sons of Bengal as well as one of the doyens of Indian Renaissance, Pandit Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar, has grown out of a long cultural and educational movement in West Bengal.

To give honour and respect to these pious intentions and proposals, the Government of West Bengal decided in 1978 to establish Vidyasagar University. The U.G.C. approved the proposal and on the advice of, and in consultation with the U.G.C., the State Government appointed a Planning Committee in March 1979 to lay down the lines of development and to take initial steps to found the University.

The university believes in a vision befitting with its motto: 'Excellence through Inclusive Education'.

This vision motivates us to strive for two things:

a) Achievement of excellence through the means of education;

Our Mission

The university was founded with a mission to provide an answer to the education needs of the region, which is surrounded by a rough forest infested areas inhabited by a number of tribal as well as socially and economically weaker sections of people. Therefore, the prime mission of the varsity, since its inception, is to blend the ethnic, socio-cultural, geographical requisites of the region with the mainstream education.

মহামানব ঈশ্বরচন্দ্র বিদ্যাসাগর ছিলেন একাধারে সমাজসংস্কারক, শিক্ষাবিদ ও লেখক। তিনি বিধবা বিবাহ চালু ও নারীশিক্ষা প্রসারে অসামান্য অবদান রেখেছেন। যিনি আলোকিত করেছিলেন সমাজকে নিজের কর্মে, চিন্তায় ও মননে।"যাদের মধ্যে বিনম্রতা রয়েছে, তারাই জীবনে সুখী ও সফল। আর বিনম্রতা আসে বিদ্যা থেকে।""অজ্ঞতা সকল দুঃখের মূল কারণ। শিক্ষা হল সেই চাবি যা সাফল্যের দ্বার খুলে দেয়।"
