ABOUT US

Rishihood University (RU) has been established under The Haryana Private Universities (Amendment) Act, 2020 and is empowered to award degrees as specified in section 22 of the UGC Act, 1956.

Rishihood University is India’s first and only impact university. ‘Impact’ is the living spirit of Rishihood. The purpose of education envisioned by the thought leaders of our civilisation and that which has motivated the founders to build Rishihood University is beyond just awarding degrees and jobs. The purpose of education is to achieve the highest potential in a learner, i.e., Rishihood. Rishihood University provides a unique mix of globally relevant education that is rooted in Indian ideas, quality education that is affordable, and multi-disciplinary exposure with the cutting-edge skills of a specialist. To achieve this outcome, education cannot be limited to the classroom. RU is a fully residential campus where living and learning seamlessly integrate throughout the day. RU faculty and learners have active participation with society, industry, researchers, entrepreneurs, and policymakers. This keeps the learning at RU focused on solving the biggest challenges faced by humanity and prepares our learners for the real world. It is time India builds universities driven by a higher purpose, with a strongly committed board to back it, and redefine how education is imparted both within and outside the classroom. Rishihood is a bold initiative to fulfil this idea. Hence, we are looking for like-minded individuals at various levels at Rishihood University.
