Majority of young people in rural India do not have access to higher education and thus their talent is not utilised for the development of the country. For this reason, Veerayatan is committed to bringing higher-level professional education to rural areas to train young people to become part of the professional workforce in the Kutch region and in Gujarat overall.

The higher education colleges established by Veerayatan are:

  1. Veerayatan Institute of Pharmacy 
  2. Veerayatan Institute of Management and Computer Applications
  3. Veerayatan Institute of Engineering

In order to bring opportunities of professional education and holistic development to the rural youth, Veerayatan has developed a world-class institute of engineering and research with 500,000 square feet of construction, set in a 60-acre eco-friendly campus.

Where older generations in the region may be illiterate and unable to read, the students at the colleges have dared to dream big and embraced the opportunities afforded to them by Veerayatan.

The students are not only obtaining good grades but they are also securing high level placements and work opportunities in renowned industries.

Veerayatan Institute of Pharmacy

Whilst jobs in industries existed, the citizens of Kutch region were unable to take advantage of the opportunities due to the acute shortage of local higher education facilities. Veerayatan identified the need for pioneering technical colleges to uplift the standard of living of families and indeed the whole region of Kutch.

Veerayatan thus established in 2005 the first Pharmacy degree college in Kutch offering undergraduate, postgraduate and PhD programmes. In addition to the traditional classroom study, the institute provides practical training and research opportunities for students. Spread over 70,000 sq. ft., the state-of-the-art institute houses 15 fully equipped laboratories, modern classrooms and seminar halls.

Highlights

  • The institute is doing extremely well with a very high pass rate and many students have topped the rank in Gujarat Technical University.
  • Given the vast growth of pharmaceutical industries in and around Kutch, the graduating students are securing placements and jobs, thus contributing positively to the economic growth of the area.
  • Instilling moral values and character building is a unique feature of this college, thereby enabling students to become responsible citizens in their professional lives.

Veerayatan Institute of Management and Computer Applications

Established in 2008, the institute, affiliated with Kutch University, runs two courses, Bachelor of Business Administration and Bachelor of Computer Applications.  These courses are relevant for local students as they highlight the practical aspects of computer applications and business administration, knowledge of which is critical in today’s business environment.
