Kurukshetra University
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kurukshetra University (Hindi: कुरुक्षेत्र विश्वविद्यालय) was established in 1956 as a unitary residential university and its foundation stone was laid by late Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the first President of India. Located in the holy city of Kurukshetra, land of the historical battle of 'Mahabharata' and the great message of Bhagwad Gita, its campus is situated on the western bank of Brahma Sarovar (the holy tank) and extends over an area of over 400 acres. Starting with only the Department of Sanskrit, it has grown into a multi-faculty University as one of the premier centres for advanced study and research in the region.
