Founder of Jagadguru Kripalu University
True knowledge has the power to transform lives and uplift society. It inspires the mind, illuminates the intellect, and broadens the vision and uplifts humankind. In today's age of knowledge, students have unprecedented opportunities to realize their intellectual, mental, and physical potential. Yet, many young minds never reach their true potential due to a lack of proper guidance, as schools often fail to equip them with the tools needed to navigate real-life challenges, preparing them only for the corporate rat race instead of helping them discover their true nature and potential.
To bridge this gap, Jagadguru Shree Kripalu Ji Maharaj envisioned a university that provides not only quality education but also fosters all-round personality development, shaping students into leaders in their chosen fields. To realize this noble vision, Jagadguru Kripalu University (JKU) will offer world-class education and opportunities for students aspiring to build exceptional careers and emerge as global leaders.
JKU's motto calls students to transform their personalities through the power of true knowledge. The curriculum, pedagogy, faculty, and environment at JKU are designed to inspire young minds and illuminate their intellect to imbibe the best of both East and West. Students will be equipped with both theoretical scholasticism and practical wisdom which will help them develop erudite intellect, clarity of vision, and skills for personal and professional success, while contributing to the upliftment of those around them.
The University will provide world-class education in the fields of Humanities, Sciences, Technology, Management, Medicine, Indian Culture, and Performing Arts. It will create centres of excellence of global standards, promote research and develop a knowledge base to help usher Odisha and India into the Age of Knowledge. Exposure to international experts and interactions with the students from foreign universities will provide a sea of experience to the students at JKU and equip them with the confidence to succeed.
Service to the community is one of the cornerstones of JKU. Students will have ample opportunities to contribute, do good and experience the joy of serving the society. Jagadguru Kripalu Skill Institute (JKSI) is established to uplift rural and underprivileged communities by providing education, training, and life skills, making them job ready. Additionally, JKU and JKSI partner with industries and public institutions to foster collaborations that create employment opportunities, thereby supporting social and economic development.
Jagadguru Kripalu University aims to set a benchmark in social responsibility and ethical practices, promoting the economic and societal growth of local communities while contributing to the development of Odisha, India, and the world. JKYog envisions JKU as a transformative institution that nurtures future leaders and shapes a better world for generations to come.
