Extension Activities

Extension activities of a university provide a link between the University and the community. Extension has always been an integral part of Banasthali University. The origin of Banasthali, itself speaks loads about it.

Before the inception of Banasthali University in 1935, the village was deprived of all basic amenities, let alone literacy. Banasthali started a number of programmes under the guidance of Pt. Hiralal Shastri and Smt. Ratan Shastri in the village which involved self reliance through khadi movement, medical relief, social and political awakening and to bring out girls from their homes to provide them general education which in itself was a stupendous task.

Since getting the status of Deemed to be University in 1983, Vidyapith is continuously working with the aim of extension and community welfare through its various curricular/co-curricular /extra curricular works. Through using different techniques such as dialogues, folk media, recreational activities, interactive and participatory programmes, group working & group discussion, we are continuously trying to create awareness among masses about their rights, access to information, exploitation, discrimination, employment opportunities. Our Education/ Research/Extension are based upon the basic human values to help individuals/families and community as a whole to lead a successful life in changing our neighbourhood society which is also the surviving strength of Banasthali University.
