ABOUT US
Established in 1988, Gayatri Vidya Parishad (GVP) stands as a cornerstone of educational excellence in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. Under the visionary leadership of eminent academicians and educational pioneers, GVP has cultivated a rich legacy, comprising a degree and post-graduation college, three engineering colleges (including one dedicated to women), and a medical college. GVP has also established and collaborated on various centres dedicated to scientic research, policy studies, skill development, medical imaging, integrated tribal development, and e-mobility. It is having good placement track record and gave thrust towards employability and building innovation culture (diversied research, 70+ patents, & startups).
Now, charting a course toward greater horizons, GVP presents the Gayatri Vidya Parishad Institute of Higher Learning and Research (GVPIHLR), an ambitious undertaking set to redefine educational standards, research frontiers, and seeks to preserve, promote, and propagate traditional Indian education systems within the context of modern technological advancements and pedagogical innovations with a special focus on Medical Technology. Its primary objective is to disseminate knowledge across diverse academic domains, encompassing Arts, Commerce & Management, Science, Engineering & Technology, and Medicine. This mission is driven by a resolute commitment to tailor education to effectively address global challenges while also addressing the intricacies of local issues.
GVPIHLR seeks to be a Deemed to be University that is distinct in its approach to education. Inspired by the ancient Indian tradition of Chauthur Sashti Kalas (64 arts) and aligned with the National Education Policy 2020, GVPIHLR will integrate STEAMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics, and Medicine) with Humanities and Management. This unique interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approach aims to cultivate students to grasp the interconnectedness of knowledge, think integratively, meet the needs of a globalized world, contribute to sustainable development and embrace Indian knowledge systems.
