Mahatma Gandhi Antarrashtriya Hindi Vishwavidyalaya

Mahatma Gandhi Antarrashtriya Hindi Vishwavidyalaya or the Mahatma Gandhi International Hindi University was established to fulfill a dream of the Father of the Nation - Mahatma Gandhi. This university is based on the vision that Hindi should not only be the national language of the country, but it should also gain the status of an international language with global status. This Central University came into existence through an Act of Parliament, which had received the consent of the President of India on January 08, 1997. Since 1997, the University is functioning as a residential university solely dedicated to the cause of Hindi. Mahatma Gandhi, Hindi and International are three key words which are integrally woven in the philosophy which guides the functioning of the institution. It has initiated academic programmes in areas which were important in Gandhi Ji’s socio - political agenda such as non-violence, peace and conflict resolution, women studies and dalit studies.
