Kangri Vishwavidyalaya was founded on March 4,
1902 by Swami
Shraddhanandaji
with the sole aim to revive the ancient Indian Gurukula System of education,
on the bank of Ganges at a distance of about 6 km. from Hardwar and about
200 km. from Delhi. This institution was established with the objective
of providing an indigenous alternative to Lord Macaulay's education
policy by imparting education in the areas of vedic literature, Indian
philosophy, Indian culture, modern sciences and research.
Arya Samaj has been advocating women's education since the day it was
founded. As part of its policies for the up-liftment of women in the country,
Kanya Gurukula Mahavidyalaya, Dehradun was established in 1922 by Acharya
Ramdevji as a second campus of women's education. To give real shape to
the dreams of Swami Shraddhanandaji, a new campus for women's education,
Kanya Gurukula Mahavidyalaya, Hardwar was established in 1993 for PG classes
for girls.
