Baba Ramdev to foray in education sector with a varsity that will provide world class amenities

Baba Ramadev is gearing up to churn the wheels of the education industry of India. The man, who rocked the Indian retail market with his brand Patanjali, is now aiming to setup a university in India which can give a tough run to many global players in this domain. Recently, the Indian Yog Guru revealed that he is planning to setup a university in India which will be equipped with world class amenities.

He added further that once installed successfully, the varsity will be a new home for over one lakh students and it will divulge high quality education to its budding scholars from various streams. He also confirmed that already 1,500 acres of land has been acquired to craft the niche project.

This university will be as reputed as the ancient higher-learning institutions -- Nalanda and Takshila, so that students from all around the world would opt for India for higher education. Ramdev said he has also requested Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi and Ministry of Human Resources Development to start a Vedic education board at state and national level to revive and promote the Indian 'gurukul' tradition of education. The proposed university will focus on three major areas - health, business and education, he said.

Chalking down the particulars of the project, he informed that he has planned to build a world class university in India near New Delhi like the University of Houston. The entire project will be completing with the massive investment of Rs 25, 000 crore.
