DESCRIPTION :

The establishment of the Maharaja Ganga Singh¸ University at Bikaner marks an important milestone in the evolution of tertiary education in Rajasthan¸ area-wise the largest state of the Republic of India. Tertiary education¸ which modern universities develop and deploy for the benefit of humanity¸ aims for universality¸ but at the same time¸ it is now being increasingly realized¸ that it must also prioritize the discovery of solutions for the territory in which it is located. The Maharaja Ganga Singh¸ University would strive¸ through teaching¸ research and extension¸ to achieve a better understanding of the problems of the region in which it is located¸ in a region vastly different from almost all other regions in India and abroad.

     The UOB has come into existence in a terrain exhibiting several ecological constants not found¸ on any comparable scale¸ in the rest of India or¸ even¸ in the rest of the world which contains several large deserts but not the type of life-vibrant arid lands as the Thar desert on whose northern-east periphery the U.O.B is located. 

     After the assent of the Honorable Governor of Rajasthan¸ the University has been established under the Maharaja Ganga Singh¸ University¸ Act¸ 2003 which was notified in the Rajasthan Gazzette on June¸ 7¸ 2003.This statute terminated the territorial jurisdiction and also the affiliation of 69 colleges located in the districts of Churu¸ Sriganganagar¸ Hanumangarh and Bikaner. As a result¸ 92444 students were enrolled and examined in various faculties by the University in 2004 for Bachelor?s¸ master?s degrees and some diploma courses. Still larger number of students were enrolled and examined in the year 2005.

     The Government of Rajasthan had allotted a piece of land admeasuring 1127.07 Bighas in the village Shrah Nathania situated about 2 kilometers from the outskirt of the city of Bikaner for the University on which construction is soon to start.
