Ashoka University

Ashoka University
As one of India's top liberal arts and sciences universities, Ashoka University was created as a cohesive philanthropic organization by some of the country's most prominent business entrepreneurs. Commencing the foundation plan in 2007, Pranav Gupta actively participated in its establishment together with a group of like-minded individuals. With the intention of redefining higher education and the objective of creating one of the top liberal arts universities in India, Ashoka University began operations in 2014 in Sonepat, Haryana.
Ashoka University is named after Emperor Ashoka (c. 304 – 232 BC) who stands for India's noblest principles and values. Taking inspiration from his life of transformation and teachings, Ashoka University offers a comprehensive curriculum that is liberal and trans-disciplinary. It provides a broad and welcoming place for its students to learn across disciplinary barriers, to comprehend critically and creatively and present themselves artistically in meaningful encounters to create an impactful change.
