History
Gurukula Kangri (Deemed to be University) was founded on 4 March 1902 by the Arya Samaj sannyasi Swami Shraddhanand, who was a follower of Dayananda Saraswati, with the sole aim to revive the ancient Indian gurukula system of education.[6] This institution was established with the objective of providing an indigenous alternative to Lord Macaulay's education policy by imparting education in the areas of Vedic literature, Indian philosophy, Indian culture, modern sciences, and research.
The Arya Samaj which advocated women's education, as part of its policies for the upliftment of women in the country, established the Kanya Gurukula Campus, Dehradun in 1922 by Acharya Ramdevji making it a second campus of women's education. But to give real shape to the dreams of Swami Shraddhanandaji, Kanya Gurukula Campus, Haridwar was established in 1993.[6]
The Gurukula has witnessed many distinguished guests. A few of them being C. F. Andrews, Ramsay MacDonald, Mahatma Gandhi, Pt. Madan Mohan Malaviya, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, Sh. Jamnalal Bajaj, Dr. Munje, Sadhu Vaswani, Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru, Smt. Indira Gandhi and Sh. Giani Zail Singh, Sh. L.K. Advani and in 2011 Smt. Meira Kumar the then speaker of the Lok Sabha,[6] Amit Shah, Jagdeep Dhankhar, Arif Mohmmad Khan, Ramesh Pokhriyal, Swami Ramdev, Acharya Balkrishna.
The impetus for the foundation was found in the teachings and activities of Dayananda Saraswati, founder of the Arya Samaj. The first foundation brick was laid down in Gujranwala, Punjab. Swami Ji searched for a suitable palace in India according to the imagination of Dayananda Saraswati as mentioned in Satyarth Prakash. The Gurukula was shifted to Kangri Village of Bijnor district. There was a heavy flooded when the river changed course in 1924; the new and present campus was built subsequently on National Highway. The buildings of Gurukula in Kangri Village still exist. It is called as 'Punya Bhumi'. The Gurukula at Kangri had a mix of vedic and modern science education since its inception. Impressed by the devotion of Swami ji, the entire land mass of more than 1000 bigah was donated by Munshi Aman Singh of Bijnaur District to Panjab Arya Pratinidhi Sabha exclusively for the purposes of Gurukula Education. Swamiji had donated his entire wealth for the Gurukula. He was a visionary who propagated vedic education and use of Hindi as primary language of instruction in the Gurukula.
