Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi

The establishment of Banaras Hindu University is the story of the unflagging spirit, supreme sacrifice and the vastness of vision of our founding father Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya Ji. Founded in 1916, it is the largest in Asia and the second largest residential University in the world. The serene and unique educational complex is beautifully laid out in 1300 acre area having well maintained roads, extensive greenery, a temple, an air strip and buildings which are an architectural delight. It has three Institutes, 15 Faculties, 134 Departments, 4 interdisciplinary centers and 3 constituent schools (covering almost all branches of humanities, social sciences, science, technology, medicine, agriculture, fine arts, and performing arts) as well as residential complexes for faculties, staff and students.

The University family consists of about 15000 students belonging to all streams of life, castes, religion and races, about 2000 teachers, and nearly 5000 non-teaching staff. A large number of students from foreign countries come to study here. The university has taken a leadership role in promoting new ideas, the spirit of integration of the world, and cultivation of intellect and culture. Banaras Hindu University is virtually the universe in microcosm.
