SGVU (Suresh Gyan Vihar University) is a non-profit autonomous research University located in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India. In 2017, the University became the first private University in Rajasthan to be awarded an 'A' grade Rank by National Assessment and Accreditation Council. The University was established through the Suresh Gyan Vihar University Act of the Government of Rajasthan in 2008, and its predecessor institution, Gyan Vihar College, Jaipur, has been in existence since 1999. It's parent institution Sahitya Sadawart Samiti was founded in 1938. Gyan Vihar is the logical outcome of a great dream, and meticulous research and development. The foundation stone of Gyan Vihar was laid down in the month of Basant when fresh and bright leaves sprout on trees as nature seems to be reborn, on 19th February 1994 by the great academician and thinker Acharya Shri Purushottam Uttam. Elegant Scottish cottages, set in lush green environs were beckoning the new buds to flourish and grow on 7th April when the great visionary and philanthropist Shri Suresh Sharma inaugurated the preprimary section. On a pretty rainy day when the first class was held, small droplets of rain sprinkled from the heavens as if to bless the event. In the first academic session, over 150 Tiny Tots were enrolled. Within one year, the school developed into a middle school and in 1999 the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) accorded accreditation for secondary and senior secondary classes.
