Sad part is that the landmark gate “Singh Dwar” was demolished by the Haridwar administration

“The Kangri”

The famous saint of Arya Smaj swami Shardhananda ji starts a gurukul at Gujrawalan Punjab on 16th May 1900. But swami’s inner will of establishing the Gurukul in the foot hill of Himalyas initiate him to move from Punjab to village KANGRI on the bank of Holy river Ganga on 4th may 1902. Munshi Amar Singh Ji of Nazibabad in district Bijnor donates 1400 bighas of his land to Gurukul. Thus the name Gurukul Kangri comes in to the existence


Kangri to Jagjeet Pur

The present premise of Gurukul Kangri University which also has State Ayurveda College was sifted from Kangri village because of devastating Ganga flood.

Now Ayurvedic college is run by Uttrakhand government and not a part of Gurukul Kangri Vishvavidhalya in any way.


Early days of Gurukul Kangri University

There were separate Mahavidyalya (college) for different disciple like- Ved Mahavidyalya, Samanya Mahavidyalya, Krishi Mahavidyalya etc.

Ayurveda Mahvidyaliya was established in 1922 with vision to give in depth knowledge of Ayurveda along with modern medicine.

Veda Alankar and Vachasvapati were Gurukul university’s degree for graduates and post graduates respectively. These degrees for Ayurveda were Ayurveda alankar and Ayurveda Vachasvapati.
