PRAGJYOTISHPUR UNIVERSITY (PU)

The name ‘Pragjyotishpur’ connotes rays of primordial light and, in ancient times, signified the geographic area that spans much of what is Northeast Bharat today. This name has been mentioned even in texts as old as the Rāmāyaṇa and the Mahābhārata.

"तत्र प्राग्ज्योतिषं नाम जातरूपमयं पुरम् ... |"

रामायण, “किष्किन्धाकाण्ड”, ४२.३१

Honouring the rich and vibrant legacy associated with this name, Pragjyotishpur University came into being on Monday, the 17th of October 2022, with the enactment of the Pragjyotishpur University Act No. XLVI of 2022 by the Government of Assam.

Pragjyotishpur University was founded with a resolve to nurture a center of world-class education and research driven by a cross-cutting approach for overcoming barriers to knowledge creation, sustenance, and dissemination. Each and every corner of this university rings with the rhythm of the true essence of Jñāna (knowledge), Prajñā (wisdom), and Satya (truth), three principles explicitly incorporated in the mandate of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. Pragjyotishpur University can accordingly be seen as a seat of learning out of the NEP 202
