Admissions 2014-15

Banasthali University
Banasthali Vidyapith is a fully residential women's university which offers an integrated system extending
from the primary to the Ph.D. level.
It was on October 6, 1935 that Smt. Ratan Shastri and Pandit Hiralal Shastri founded Banasthali to fill up
the vacuum caused by the sudden death of their highly talented and promising daughter Shantabai. They
had high expectations that she would work for women's cause when she would grow up. But destiny
ordained otherwise.
Thus, Banasthali owes its existence neither to the zeal of an educationist, nor to that of a social reformer.
It is also not the creation of a Philanthropist's purse. It has arisen like the fabled phoenix from the ashes
of a blossoming flower Shantabai.
Banasthali is one of the five universities in India meant exclusively for Women. Over these seventy five
years Banasthali has developed into a National Centre for women's education. Banasthali's educational
programme aims at an all-round development of the student's personality. To achieve its objective of
'synthesis of spiritual values and scientific achievements of the East and the West', it has evolved Five-fold
Educational Programme (Panchmukhi Shiksha) comprising of the following aspects : (i) Physical, (ii)
Practical, (iii) Aesthetic, (iv) Moral and (v) Intellectual. This way the students develop an integrated and
balanced personality.
