The Institute of Advanced Studies in Education (IASE)
was sponsored by a non-governmental, Non-profit-motive making registered
society, namely, Gandhi Vidya Mandir (GVM). The Government of India has
accorded it the formal recognition of Deemed University, under Section 3 of the
UGC Act-1956 vide notification F.9-29/2000-U.3 of 25th June 2002, and by the
UGC vide notification F.6-25/2001 (cpp-i) of 27th DECEMBER 2002.
The University is nestled like an oasis in the Thar
desert, near the town of Sardarshahr in India ’s north-western state of
Rajasthan. It is about 300 km west of Delhi , 125 km east of Bikaner and 250 km
north of Jaipur (connected by rail and road). GVM has its own triad of
helipads.
GVM was founded in 1950, on a 1000- acre piece of land,
on one of the harshest and most backward terrains. Acutely prone to droughts,
heat and cold waves, epidemics and other travesties of nature, GVM has striven
to alleviate the acute backwardness through various permanent and adhoc
programmes of education, culture, livelihood, health and hygiene, vocations
etc.
There is no discrimination on the lines of caste, creed,
class, colour or ideological or political learning. The rich cultural and
spiritual heritage of India and propagation of Gandhian ideals of Ahimsa, Sarvoday
and Universal Brotherhood are given due importance in the curricular, as well
as periodical, programmes.
GVM was the vision of Shri Kanhaiyalal Dugar who later
embraced sanyas and came to be known as Swami Shri Ramsharanji, an embodiment
of universal humanism. He, with the blood and sweat of many devoted social
workers, philanthropists, students and staff, created this epitome of emulative
excellence in human endeavor. Shri Dugar dedicated his entire life and all his
personal wealth to the cause of education and up-liftment of the down-trodden.
GVM boasts resident / non-resident students, from
pre-primary to Ph.D.level. There is a separate multi-faculty colleges for girls
and co-educational colleges in Ayurved, Para-Medical, Life Sciences, Veterinary
Sciences, IT and Management, Engineering, Art and Home Science.
There are well-planned hostel (A.C./Air-cooled also) for
1000 students, separate for boys and girls, amidst a self-contained colony of
academicians. The sprawling 1000 acres university campus is a verdant oasis in
the lap of an intense desert. It is dotted by large parks, gardens,
playgrounds, auditoria, cultural and spiritual centres.
GVM was conceptualized and nurtured as a University. The
studies in education started in 1953, through its Basic Teacher’s Training
College . The degree courses started in 1956, postgraduate in 1958 and the
facility for Ph.D was added in 1968. ‘The Institute of Advanced Studies in
Education’ came into being under the Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Education in
1993.
The new millennium heralded the dawn of a dream-come
true. After an arduous toil of over fifty years, Institute of Advanced Studies
in Education (IASE) of GVM was formally recognized as Deemed to be University
of Government of India and UGC, in 2002. IASE is India’s premiere Institute in
the Faculty of Education; facilitating teacher’s training from primary level up
to the doctoral stage.
Distance Education Programme was started in 2003 with
the objective of bringing education to all those who seek it at a place, pace
and time of their own choosing, and to inculcate the spirit of life-long
learning, at an affordable cost. This beautifully fits into the vision of our
founding fathers. Over a period of time, thousand of students have benefited in
diverse fields of Education, IT & Management, Engineering, Paramedical,
Bio-Technology, Science & Humanities from certification upto post-graduate
programmes.
IASE has had a glorious past. It has grown from
strength-to-strength and its 60 years history is a saga of strides, struggles
and successes. ‘Service with Sincerity’ is our watchword and the motto is
‘Gyanbhanur-bhasatam’ - ‘May the Sun of Knowledge Shine’. (the sun knows no
discrimination and engulfs the entire world with light and warmth).
