Message from the Pro-Chancellor

With the motto of “Dream your dreams with open eyes and rest not till you achieve them”, we moved ahead. This was the spirit of Vikrantians that was inculcated by the Chairman in all of us and this is what we have strived for, nothing but perfection. I have been a part of this journey since inception and the great delight that I take in this Goal-seeking journey is the student-centric approach.

We take pride that we at Vikrant do focus all our activities and energies towards the betterment of the student’s fraternity. It is the students that are our motivating and guiding force, it is they that constantly motivate us to keep exploring for new avenues and greener pastures that may open vast opportunities for us. Vikrant University has been such an endeavor for us and thus small plant has become a big tree.

When we, at Vikrant Group had thought that we have attained what we have dreamt of, it is then new dreams and goals were conceptualized by our Chairman, the great revolutionary personality, Sh. Rakesh Singh Rathore. As we are always amused by the enterprising and fearless spirit, which is imbibed by the never-tiring attitude, in the words of Swami Vivekanand “Arise Awake and Stop not till the Goal is reached”.

On behalf of entire Vikrant family I take pride to be a part of the great endeavor in the form of “Vikrant University, Gwalior” and wish that we all, students, staff, faculties and management members would contribute every bit of our knowledge, experience and hard work into the building blocks that would give the University not only a strong foundation bus also a status of an Institution that would eradicate illiteracy and dedicate itself for the betterment of the Society and the Nation as a whole.

Jai Hind, Jai Bharat!
