Mahatma Gandhi Antarrashtriya Hindi Viswavidyalaya (MGAHV)

Mahatma Gandhi Antarrashtriya Hindi Viswavidyalaya (MGAHV) came into existence through an Act of Parliament on 8 January 1997  to fulfil a dream of Mahatma Gandhi, the father of the nation. The purpose of the act was to establish and incorporate a teaching university for the promotion and development of Hindi language and literature, through teaching and research, with a view to enabling Hindi to achieve greater functional efficiency and recognition as a major international language. Mahatma Gandhi was of the firm opinion that Hindi should not only be the national language of the country but it should also gain the status of a world language. 

Since 1997, spread over an area of more than two hundred acres 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 guiding the functioning of the institution. It has initiated academic programmes in areas which were important in Gandhi's socio - political agenda such as Non Violence, Peace and Conflict Resolution, Women Studies and Tribal and Dalit Studies. 


The University has also undertaken an ambitious project to publish an Encyclopaedia of Social Sciences in Hindi. It is expected that in next few years this project will see the light of the day. To fulfil its international commitments the University is offering its services to the Hindi Departments across the globe. It is coordinating international efforts in areas like syllabus development, content creation and audio-visual aids to students who study Hindi as foreign language.
