Veer Narmad South Gujarat University
Educationist Atisukhshankar Trivedi was the first one to express the need for a separate university for the region of South Gujarat through public speeches and writings. Soon he received support from other educationists and academic centres of the region. This resulted in the formation of a committee that drew guidelines and principles for the establishment of a separate university for South Gujarat. This document was submitted to the Chief Minister and Education Minister of Gujarat.
Finally, the Veer Narmad South Gujarat University Act was passed by the end of 1965. The government of Gujarat appointed Shri Chandravadan Chunilal Shah as the first Vice-Chancellor and Shri Priyadatt Motiram Joshi as the first Registrar of the University. Thus the University was incorporated during the Third five-year Plan period.
The University's jurisdiction extends to the seven districts of Surat, Navasari, Valsad, Narmada, Dangs, Bharuch and Tapi and the Union Territory of Daman and Dadra and Nagar Haveli.
