Makhanlal Chaturvedi Rashtriya Patrakarita Vishwavidyalaya, Bhopal, was set
up by Act Number 15 of 1990 of the Legislative Assembly of Madhya Pradesh. The
University is named after Makhanlal Chaturvedi, a renowned Freedom Fighter, Poet
and Journalist. This University was formally inaugurated by Dr. Shankar Dayal
Sharma, the then Vice President of India, on 16th January, 1991. The University
is a member of the Association of Commonwealth Universities and the Association
of Indian Universities (AIU). It is not an Open University providing Distance
Education. It does not provide education through correspondence. It is not a Conventional
University having limited territorial jurisdiction. It has jurisdiction through
out the country. Consistent with the recent trend of globalisation and internationalisation
of education, the University is imparting education outside the country also.
The University is developing as a pioneer in dissemination of knowledge
and skills in the various fields of Journalism, Information Sciences, Public Relations,
Computer Applications and Mass Communication. The relationship between
the University and its Study Institutes comes closest to, and can be best described
as, that existing between a Conventional University and its Affiliated Colleges.
To promote holistic development of the personality of the students, to provide
a platform to nurture and present artistic, literary and sports talents and to
develop a feeling of fraternity and camaraderie amongst the students of the University,
inter-Study Institutes, inter-Zonal and National level cultural and sports meets
are organised. | |
