All the girls here imparted both the values so that they can contribute in building a nation that everyone else envy of. Banasthali University Jaipur is a residential university for women which offers not just PhD level courses but primary education too. ‘Panchmukhi Siksha’ which has vanished from our culture is not vanished here at the university as all the academic program here are based on that. Thus, an overall personality development is what happens here. Simple living and high thinking is what we have read in moral science textbooks but at Banasthali Vidhyapeeth it is duly followed as students here to wear Khadi and that is arguably the biggest stamp of authentication of it. The founder of this university Pandit Hiralalji Shashtri started the educational institute in 1943 which finally took the shape of the university in the year 1983.
