Gandhigram Rural University was mainly established with the purpose to promote education among children of rural area for their upliftment and I literally felt it while attending a college seminar of one of the college which is affiliated to this University. It has branches almost in entire India which is playing very crucial role in promoting education among rural children by not only covering the cities but also the rural and village areas as well. There is also subsidy scheme and other facilities to ease them with the education motive.
The education model starts from basic to science and technology with modern infrastructure facilities including web based and video based learning. E-learning facility is on a development phase. Computer skill is mandatory to learn here by every woman who is the part of this University. They have also high degree courses like PhD, Post Graduate, M Phil etc and the enrollments are increasing every year which is a positive signal in India’s growth contribution by women. Even extracurricular activities are also promoted here like sports, music, dance, art etc. Some of its students have represented at State level also. Discipline is uncompromised.
The University is also good and impressive in structure which is scattered over a large area with sufficient number of Professors. Some are from corporate background as well, including Government officials whose visit is as a guest lecturer. The University is on a high growth mode with rigorous change in education model as it is also supported by many NGOs of India.
