Maharshi Dayanand University, ab initio established as Rohtak University, Rohtak, came into existence by an Act No. 25 of 1975 of the Haryana Legislative Assembly in 1976 with the objective to promote inter-disciplinary higher education and research in the fields of environmental, ecological and life sciences. It was rechristened as Maharshi Dayanand University in 1977 after the name of a grea...t visionary and social reformer, Maharshi Dayanand. It had a unitary and residential character in its nascent stage, but became an affiliating University in November 1978. The University secured the recognition of University Grants Commission – the higher education regulatory body of India - for central Govt. grants in Feb. 1983.
The University is located at Rohtak in the state of Haryana - about 75 kms from Delhi on Delhi-Hisar National Highway (NH-10), and is about 240 kms from Chandigarh, the State Capital. It is well connected both by rail as well as road. Rohtak is the education hub of the State with excellent facilities for education in all fields of knowledge.
The University has a robust state-of-the-art Campus Wide Network. It is wrapped around OFC and wi-fi technologies. All the departments/offices/hostels are linked to the Campus Network. The University has a Computer Centre for the benefit of students, research scholars, teachers and other staff. The Computer Centre conducts computer awareness programmes for the staff from time to time, and facilitates analysis of research data of the research scholars. Besides the central facility, majority of the departments have their own computer labs.
One of the emerging challenges faced by any higher educational institution is the development, application and maintenance of quality benchmarks in all its key performance areas. To institutionalize the process of quality sustenance and enhancement, the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) has been established in the University. The IQAC in the university came into existence in 2003. It was reconstituted, as per the guidelines of UGC, on 12.07.2010. The IQAC is a nodal agency for ushering in the era of total quality management by working out intervention strategies to enhance overall quality in the institution.
The University lays special emphasis on students’ welfare, and, therefore, has a full-fledged office for this purpose. The office is housed in a magnificent Students Activity Centre, equipped with all modern amenities. It has a Bookshop with all types of books and stationery, Cyber Café for internet surfing at competitive rates, canteen with facility for meals and other eatables and soft beverages available at affordable prices, Conference Hall with Internet connectivity, well-designed modular furnished separate Common Rooms for boys and girls with the facilities of newspapers, magazines, and indoor games, dish linked LCD TV and above all, a rendezvous for student community to channelize their free time.
University Youth Red Cross provides an opportunity to the students to devote part of their time to the service of humanity. It trains the volunteers by organizing First Aid and Home Nursing training, workshops relating to disaster management, rescue operations and how to save themselves and others in calamities (natural or man-made). Volunteers are trained through health and hygiene workshop, how to keep themselves healthy and also expect them to convey this to the masses. It also motivates them for blood and organ donation. It provides the opportunity to attend seven days YRC training camps organized by University Youth Red Cross, Indian Red Cross Merit Certificate and other awards. University Youth Red Cross works on the Motto of “Health, Service and Friendship.” Interested students can work in the service of humanity by joining Youth Red Cross Unit in UTD and Colleges/Institutes affiliated to Maharshi Dayanand University.
