Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapeeth University

An initiation was made by the Chief Minister of the Uttar Pradesh to make Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapeeth as a Statutory University and his ambition became fruitful in the year 1974 on the 15th of January. Before the year 1995, the university was just called Kashi Vidhapith and it received its present name in honor of the father of the nation as Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapeeth in the year 1995. The university was actually established in the year 1921 on the 10th of February by the Father of the Nation on the auspicious occasion of Basant Panchami during the non-cooperation movement of the freedom struggle.
