Prof. Pratapsinh Chauhan
Vice Chancellor, BKNMU, Junagadh, Gujarat

It gives me an immense pride and joy to welcome you all to Bhakta Kavi Narsinh Mehta University, an unique institution of higher learning nestled in the spiritually vibrant and culturally rich coastal belt of Gujarat, spanning the districts of Junagadh, Gir Somnath, Devbhumi Dwarka, and Porbandar. Our university is not merely a center for academic excellence, it is a living embodiment of the values, heritage, and aspirations of the region.

Rooted in the sacred soil that has witnessed the divine presence of Shri Krishna, Lord Somnath, the fearless devotion of saints, Contribution of Mahatma Gandhi and the ecological grandeur of the Gir forests, our campus breathes a tranquil spiritual atmosphere. Yet, we look resolutely towards the future.

With a steadfast commitment to providing smart, world-class facilities to rural students, we are actively working toward the development of a new, state-of-the-art university building that will serve as a landmark of knowledge and innovation. This infrastructure is designed to align with the parameters of NAAC accreditation and NIRF, foster a strong research culture, and support digital advancement to empower students from all walks of life.

At BKNMU, we envision education that is inclusive, transformative, and rooted in Indian ethos. We are deeply committed to bridging the rural-urban academic divide, ensuring that students from even the  most remot coastal villages can dream big, compete globally, and contribute meaningfully to society.

I invite you all—Teachers, students, researchers, educators, well-wishers and all stake holders—to join us on this inspiring journey as we shape a vibrant academic future from the lap of nature and divinity.
