About Vallabh Vidyanagar

Charutar Vidya Mandal



Ameni�es

Vallabh Vidyanagar has all the ameni�es which major metropolis may offer; rather it has the best of both the worlds –

glamour of a big city and simplicity of a small town. Apart from the academic aspect, Vallabh Vidyanagar has a unique chain of food courts,

almost all na�onalized and non-na�onalized banks and accommoda�on facili�es up to five star levels. It encapsulates the contemporary trends

of meaningful by making felt the presence of different spiritual vibes.

Loca�on

Vallabh Vidyanagar embraces a rarity of raison dore behind its original and a variety of educa�on with its development and growth.

Strategically located between Ahmedabad and Vadodara, Vallabh Vidyanagar today has reckoned to be an Ac�ve Educa�onal core in the

western cons�tuent of India & just six kilometer from Vidyanagar by Domes�c airport at Vadodara. If one chooses to travel by road, Na�onal

Highway 8 can be used –it takes less than an hour to reach Vallabh Vidyanagar from Vadodara.

Path Traversed

Vallabh Vidyanagar which has a short past but a long history, is a living memorial of Sardar Patel, the epic person. He dreamt of a modern

and prosperous Independent India in terms of regenera�on of villages through (1) the educa�on, (2) advanced agriculture and (3) coopera�ve

ventures. We are indeed very fortunate that we have here all the three : Vallabh Vidyanagar is the realiza�on of his first dream; ins�tute of

Agriculture at Anand (now Anand Agriculture University) is the frui�on of the second and Amul Dairy, the cradle of coopera�ve dairying, is the

fulfillment of the third.

BHAIKAKA & BHIKAHBHAI : THE CREATOR DUO

The genesis and phenomenal growth and development of Vallabh Vidyanagar, the well-planned and unique educa�onal township

situated in the heart of the Gujarat State, is stranger than fic�on. Based on local talent and local resources it is a peerless example of

self–reliance and dedica�on. While working in Sindh (now in Pakistan) as Superintending Engineer in Sukkur Barrage, Yevala in Maharashtra

and Ahmedabad Municipality, as a dis�nguished Chief Engineer, Shree Bhailalbhai Dahyabhai Patel, later warmly taken to their heart by the

people of Gujarat as ‘Bhaikaka’, had earned reputa�on for his sense of values, discipline, dedica�on to duty and absolute integrity. Having been

born and brought up in a family of strained financial resources in Sojitra village in Kheda district he had known what is meant to be poor. So,

41

while in dedica�ng himself to the cause of rural India which was sunk in iner�a, squalor and object poverty. Once

during a mee�ng between him and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. Who knew Bhaikaka as a man of prac�cal bent of mind, unusual

ability and character, Sardar advised him to go to the villages and work for their regenera�on. Sardar’s wish was tantamount to a command

to him. Bhaikaka’s irresis�ble desire to improve the lot of the poor villagers coupled with Sardar’s advice or command impelled him to take early

re�rement from the service. He saw that the most potent instrument to improve the subhuman life of villagers was to bring higher learning to

their very doorstep and thus the concept of establishing ins�tu�on of higher educa�on started taking shape. He got in touch with Shri

Bhikhabhai Kuberbhai Patel, a dedicated and farsighted educa�onist, fired by the same idea. He had played a pivotal role in the establishment

of Charotar Educa�on Society in Anand and Narmada Kelavani Mandal at Shukalteerth.

Torren�al Rain of Land

They held several mee�ngs in different parts of Kheda (then Kaira) district and a couple of them of about five hundred person interested

in higher educa�on in Anand town. On March 28, 1945 it was decided to draw and implement the plan of plan�ng an educa�onal township in a

wilder ness infested with dacoits which later came to be known as Vallabh Vidyanagar. Bhaikaka and Bhikhabhai worked out and ingenious

scheme based on enlightened self-interest. They persuaded the farmers to donate their land free of cost, saying. “Donate your land to us now;

we’ll develop and use two-thirds and return you the remaining one-third in course of �me’. It was explained to them that while having the

pleasure of assis�ng in the establishment of an educa�onal township at no cost to themselves the building plots they would each obtain would

appreciate sufficiently not only to cover the value of the land donated, but also leave a handsome margin of profit. It was a win-win situa�on

and the response to it was overwhelming. At a mee�ng in Bakrol, a village at a hailing distance from today’s Vallabh Vidyanagar, spontaneous

offer of land was made to Bhaikaka and Bhikhabhai. A map of the Village was spread before the duo and they were asked to mark with a pencil

the area needed. Residents of Anand and Karamsad (Sardar Patel’s Village) followed suit. Thus a 555 acres of land at the intersec�on of Bakrol,

Karamsad and Anand was received in dona�on. It was a torren�al rain of land !

Exemplary Self-reliance

The founders decided to establish two ins�tu�ons – Charutar Vidya Mandal and Charotar Gramoddhar Sahakari Mandal. The former was

to be devoted to the cause of educa�on, that is, establishing colleges and schools and the later meant to produce the building materials for

educa�onal ins�tu�onal and residen�al quarters. They were registered on August 10, 1945 and September 7, 1945, respec�vely. Bhaikaka and

Bhikhabhai came to reside in the wildness in a improvised residence – a hut measuring 8 �and 10 �on March 3, 1946. They chose a mango tree

and installed themselves under it, in the divine presence of Lord Bhrahma, the Super Creator, dreaming, planning, breaking a new ground,

organizing, ge� ng things done and resolving snarls to plant a city of educa�on far from the maddening hustle and bustle of ci�es. It merits a

special men�on here that Bhaikaka, the patriarch of Mango Tree, as he was then called, despised the idea of copying or borrowing know-how

and do-how from anywhere. His indomitable faith in the local human material, though inexperienced, propelled him to bake bricks for the

buildings locally. He established building material units-workshop and foundry, cement pipe factory to produce, in addi�on to bricks, lime,

�mber doors and windows, flooring �les, hume pipes and various concrete products. The market and in addi�on, provide employment to the

local people. It is difficult to resist the tempta�on of recalling here that Bhaikaka invited at Harijan to inaugurate the brick-kiln, a Muslim

mechanic to lay the founda�on of the workshop and foundry and a Brahmin to lay the first brick of the V. P. Science College. A prin�ng press

named as Gramoddhar Prin�ng Press for prin�ng handbills, booklets, books, research journal and ques�on paper was also set up.

Bhaikaka, the man with green thumb, planted a thousand trees. It is to him that we own the lush-green, stately, shady trees all

along the roads in Vallabh Vidyanagar.42



First College Born

While many pessimists seriously doubted the success of the ambi�ous project of establishing an educa�onal town with a

view to bringing about regenera�on of villages through modern educa�on and employment and thereby arres�ng the exodus of promising

youth from villages to ci�es. Sardar Patel, the unerring judge of men and women, not only whole heartedly blessed the great adventure but also

expressed his tremendous faith in its success. Inspira�on, encouragement and unbounded support of the mighty Sardar, blessing of Mahatma

Gandhi and extraordinary hard work of the founders ushered into existence Vi� halbhai Patel Mahavidyalaya in June 1947. The birth of the first

college, like the birth of the first child, was hailed with a fanfare of trumpets ! B.A. and B.Sc. classes commenced between towering walls sans

any roof. It is something to write home about those teachers and students carried with cheer bricks and mortar a�er the conclusion of their

classes and sweated along with the skilled and semi-skilled construc�on workers!

Jus�ce M.C.Chagla, Vice-Chancellor. University of Bombay, during his visit to Vallabh Vidyanagar in 1947, was all praise for it when he

said, “I came here… and found a new magic. Dreams have come to reality. As the Vice-Chancellor, I am proud that such an ideal college is

affiliated to the University of Bombay. I see the seeds of real educa�onal revolu�on being sown in this soil…”

While performing the opening ceremony of the College, Sardar Patel complimented Bhaikaka. The great public servant, for his �reless

efforts and appealed to the public to five him their unflinching support and pray for the realiza�on of his dream of an ideal seat of learning.

Jawaharlal Nehru, who laid the founda�on stone of Vallabh Vidyanagar observed “… the first thing I have liked is that the ac�vi�es here have the

object of serving village people. The other thing I have liked is that you do not care whether your house is ready or not.. You know how to start

pu� ng it to use and start your ac�vi�es. Here we find harmony of principle and prac�ce. This ins�tu�on by itself prepares its requirements. I

earnestly hope that the example of this ins�tu�on will not only be followed in this province but throughout the country…”

It is noteworthy that many reputed men of le� ers from all over the country joined the Vi� halbhai Patel Mahavidyalaya as teachers in

response to the appeal of the founders who ensured that the quality of educa�on imparted was first-rate. In order that new teachers too equip

their students with the latest advances in their respec�ve disciplines. They sent nearly a dozen teachers to U.K., U.S.A. and Germany for

43

receiving advanced training in research.

Many ci�zens of Anand and nearby places volunteered generous help in running the college and in the development of the

matchless educa�onal township. In the face of a swarm of problems, mostly financial, they stood by the great visionaries and helped them

surmount these boldly and imagina�vely. Sir, C. V. Raman and Lady Raman grace the first Annual Day celebra�on of the college.

Birth of Colleges of Engineering and Commerce

Within a short span of five years there came into existence two colleges, one of engineering and the other of commerce. Birla Educa�on

trust made a munificent dona�on of twenty five lacks of rupees (in those day!) for the engineering college which was named Birla Vishwakarma

Mahavidyalaya (Engineering College, 1948) when he said : “…This concept of Sardar Patel’s is therefore all important in modern India, and as an

experiment in village reconstruc�on. I hope that we shall see its applica�on in other parts of the country. The two socie�es (Charutar Vidya

Mandal and Charotar Gramoddhar Sahkari Mandal) which are carrying out the work seem to me to be admirably suited for the purpose. On the

one hand you have one society dealing with the upli� work in the villages, covering sanita�on, water supply, drainage, housing and co� age

industries, while on the other hand you have the other society carrying out educa�onal ac�vi�es. It is clear from what Mr. Patel (Bhaikaka) said

in his speech that from the start the organizers have kept before them the project of a residen�al university, and I am glad to see that the

educa�onal areas of the township have been planned accordingly… It is a real pleasure to me to be here this a�ernoon and to perform this

ceremony, the last of its kind which it will be my pleasure to perform in India as Governor- General.”

The engineering college was the first one started by a private trust in the en�re Bombay State, which extended from Karachi to Dharvad,

and the first one in Gujarat State. The commerce college, founda�on stone of which was laid by Dr. Rajendra Prasad was named Bhikhabhai

Jivabhai Vaniya Mahavidyalaya (1950). Visits of several very important person one a�er boundless courage, selflessness of the high opinion of

the boundless courage, selflessness and prac�cal idealism of the founders and their them of dedicated colleagues shot Vallabh staying in Bri�sh

East Africa by the vision and mission of the founders that they donated ten Lacks of rupees in the year 1951 for the development of the Oxbridge

of India. And the growth and development con�nued to take place by leaps and bounds. A hostel for women students, a number of hostels for

men students, buildings for housing primary and secondary schools, residen�al quarters for teachers and other func�onaries of educa�onal

44



ins�tu�ons, tenements for labors working in building material factories were constructed from the

dona�on that flowed in. Establishment of Gram Panchayat (1954) and start of Na�onal Cadet Corps sta�on command (1954)

and Vallabh Vidyanagar railway sta�on (1957) added new dimension to the prolific development of vallabh vidyanagar. And all this

within a short span of only eight years!

Birth of Sardar Patel University

It was Vallabh Vidyanagar’s crowning glory when within ten years of its founda�on it become a university township in October 1955. The

university was named Sardar Vallabhbhai Vidyapeeth and numerous ar�cles, was appropriately appointed its first Vice-Chancellor on

December 19, 1955. The academic community of Gujarat hailed the appointment. Most of the college teachers, who were sent abroad to

receive research degrees and had been teaching post-graduate classes since 1948, were appointed to the university’s post-graduate

departments. Several other were appointed through adver�sement in all-India newspapers. Bhaikaka created facili�es for research and

encouraged par�cipa�on in academic conferences, seminars and workshop in spite of the fact that in the ini�al years the Government did not

give any financial help whatsoever to the university! So keen was his interest in research that the Charutar Vidya Mandal published in 1957

Vallabh Vidya Nagar Research Bulle�n-a biannual. A great tragedy by fell Vallabh Vidya Nagar when Shri Bhikhabhai Kuberbhai Patel, who had

dra�ed the cons�tu�on of the university and helped its birth, passed away in 1956. It was a tremendous loss to Bhaikaka and to the numerous

pupils of Shri Bhikhabhai. Out of the sixty six years that he lived Bhikhabhai, reveren�ally called ‘Saheb’ devoted forty two to educa�on. Even

now, a�er more than half a century of his departure, his former pupils, all over the world, remember him and deem themselves blessed to have

been groomed by him. By establishing Bhailalbhai & Bhikhabhai Polytechnic (B & B ins�tute of Technology) in 1958 Charutar Vidya Mandal paid

tribute to its cofounder in a befi� ng manner. The founding of Bhikhabhai Saheb PTC College in 2004 bears tes�mony to the mandal’s renewed

expression of gra�tude this great educa�onist. On the conclusion of his three-year term as the Vice Chancellor in December, 1958 Bhaikaka

entered ac�ve poli�cs, for he felt that educated, honest and good people must take part in poli�cs if they want to stamp out corrup�on, ensure

rule of law and democracy to flourish. He severed his direct responsibility for the Charutar Vidya Mandal and invited Shri H. M. Patel, an ICS

officer of great repute, who had provided strategic guidance during the Par��on of India, to nurture it as the Chairman. But he con�nued to

evince keen interest in the progress of Vallabh Vidyanagar and to make himself available for advice and guidance �ll his sad demise on March 31,

1970. Vallabh Vidyanagar felt orphaned. He was cremated at the spot where he and Bhikhabhai had lived in hut, now a place of pilgrimage.

Special Convoca�on Honors Bhaikaka

It was a memorable event when Sardar Vallabhbhai Vidyapeeth held a special convoca�on on Noveber 12, 1959 to confer upon Bhaikaka

honorary degree of Doctor of Science as an expression of gra�tude for its creator. Dr. S. Radhakrishnan delivered the convoca�on address.

H. M. PATEL & PROLIFIC DEVELOPMENT

Shri H.M.Patel, a civil servant of dis�nc�on, had served the country as Cabinet Secretary, Par��on Secretary, Defence Secretary, Food

and Agriculture Secretary and Principal Finance Secretary. The thirty-five years between 1958 and 1993, during which he served the Charutar

Vidya Mandal as Bhaikaka’s successor, were the years when Vallabh Vidyanagar grew and developed at an incredibly fast pace under his

visionary stewardship.

New Colleges Born

He established a polytechnic for awarding diploma in Civil, Mechanical and Electrical engineering and named it Bhailalbhai Bhikhabhai

Polytechnic (1958), Nalini And Arvind Arts College (1959), Kala Kendra College of Fine Arts (1964), now named Rama Manubhai Desai College of

45

Music & Dance, Rajratna PT. Patel Science College (1962), New Arts College (later named as TV Patel Arts College

(1964), H. M. Patel Ins�tute of English Training & Research (1965), S. M. Patel College of Home Science (1971), College of

Architecture (1980), A. R. Pharmacy college (1981), I. E. Patel English Teaching School (1970), CVM Higher Secondary Complex Science

higher secondary Stream (1978) and H. M. Patel Career Development Centre (1992) etc. It is heartening to note that Nalini and Arvind Arts

College, Vi� halbhai Patel Mahavidyalaya (Science College), Bhikhabhai Jivabhai Vaniya Mahavidyalaya and H M Patel Ins�tute of English were

recipients of Best College award of Gujarat. The award, ins�tuted by the Government of Gujarat, carried fi�y thousand rupees in cash

Vi� halbhai Patel Mahavidyalaya bagged the award thrice in succession!

Ins�tute of English

Author of books in English and Gujara�, such as the First Flush of Freedom, Rites of Passage and HMno Akshardeh, a translator and an

orator, Shri H M Patel was deeply concerned about the declining standards of English teaching in Gujarat. He held that English is the languages

of wider communica�on in today’s world. He envisioned the establishment of an ins�tu�on to train teachers of English and gave shape to his

vision. He donated the purse presented to him by his admirers on his 60th birthday and the H. M. Patel ins�tute of English Training & Research

came into existence in 1965. The ins�tute has planned new and uncommon programmes and added different dimensions to the educa�onal

scene. It is heartening that the ins�tute has received the UGC award as a College with Poten�al for Excellence (CPE).

Spacious building for housing the new colleges and schools were constructed and administra�ve buildings, library halls, new wings,

workshops, computer laboratories and floors were added to the ins�tu�ons in order to meet the requirements of the growing number of

students. Not only this, a number of hostels New hostel Block A, B and C, Bhaikaka Hostel and Ranak Hostel for Girls etc. were constructed to

accommodate them. Numerous houses for teaching and nonteaching staff were also built. Shri H. M. Patel always accorded importance to co-

curricular and extracurricular ac�vi�es like seminars, discussion groups, games and sports and cultural ac�vi�es as means of development of

personality. With a view to honouring the memory of those who contributed to the birth and growth of Vallabh Vidyanangar and providing

opportunity to the students and teachers to broaden their mental horizon, he ini�ated Sardar Patel Memorial Lecture Series in the Sardar Patel

University and Bhaikaka Memorial Lecture series and Ishwar Petlikar Lecture Series in the Charutar Vidya Mandal. He created Infrastructural

facili�es like the badminton hall, basketball courts and cricket ground etc. in and near Shastri Maidan.

Agro-Economics Centre & SPRERI

With a view to promo�ng rural development he persuaded the Ministry of Agriculture and irriga�on, Government of India, to establish

Agro-Economics Research center for Gujarat and Rajasthan here at Vallabh Vidyanangar. Ever since the incep�on of the center in 1961 he

nurtured it with great care and foresight. The Sardar Patel Renewable Energy Research Ins�tute (earlier Jyo� Solar Energy Ins�tute) owes its

existence to Shri H. M. Patel. The Ins�tute is doing laudable work in evolving a local rural-based integrated system of energy in which solar

energy, biogas and wind energy could be used in the rural areas in an environmentally clean way.

Vi� hal Udyognagar & Medical Campus

Shri H. M. Patel. Like Bhaikaka, maintained that one of the aims of founding Vallabh Vidyanagar being making the local youth more

employable it was desirable to provide suitable employment to those who received educa�on here so that their city ward dri� could be

arrested. Therefore, he conceived the project of establishing an industrial town in the vicinity of Vallabh Vidyanagar and named it a�er another

illustrious son of Charotar area, Vi� halbhai Patel elder brother of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. Thus was born Vi� hal Udyognagar, spreading over

five hundred and fi�y acres of land with a total of four hundred and fi�y units, twelve big and the rest medium and small. Shri H. M.

46



Patel worked relentlessly for providing the latest healthcare facili�es to the rural masses and took up, when he was close to seventy-

five year of age, the ambi�ous project of establishing a will-equipped Hospital and Medical College in the rural surrounding near Karamsad

(Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel’s Village). The unique Hospital and Medical College Complex, managed by the Charutar Aarogya Mandal, of which too

he was the Chairman, consists of Shree Krishna Hospital and Medical Research Centre, Pramukh Swami Medical College. H. M. Patel Ins�tute of

Medical Laboratory Thechnology. Khushalbhai M. Patel Ins�tute of Physiotherapy, Shri A. D. Gorwala Blood Bank and Manibhai Shivabhai

Cancer Center.

Honours Bestowed

In recogni�on of his great service to Charutar Vidya Mandal and through it the Sardar Patel University, in the Development of which he

had played a prominent role, the university conferred upon him honorary degree of Doctor of Le� ers. He also received Albert Schweitzer Award

of Animal Welfare ins�tute of USA for championing the cause of a foresta�on and conserva�on of wild life and Nargis Du� Award

(posthumously), for his produc�on of the feature depic�on of some aspects of Sardar’s stellar contribu�on to India a�er Independence.

Like Bhaikaka. He too entered poli�cs with a view to roo�ng out corrup�on and lawlessness and strengthening democracy. Even as

Cabinet Minister in the Central Government he kept constant touch with his ins�tu�on in Vallabh Vidyanagar. Despite the heavy responsibili�es

with which he was saddled he would come down here at least once a month and arrange mee�ng with the Principals of Colleges and schools

and preside over func�ons.

Shri H. M. Patel passed away on November 30, 1993, crea�ng a deep void in the academic life of Vallabh Vidyanagar. A pall of gloom

descended on Vallabh Vidyanagar where he had devoted himself to the building and nurturing of ins�tu�ons to serve the common man.

C. L. PATEL & BIRTH OF NEW VALLABH VIDYANAGAR

Dr. Chhotubhai L. Patel, former execu�ve Engineer in Gujarat Electricity Board, succeeded Shri H. M. Patel as the Chairman of the

Charutar Vidya Mandal on April 9, 1994. Endowed with rich prac�cal sense, sound realism and solid and unshakable endurance he is the true

47

and worthy successor of Shri Bhaikaka, Shri Bhikhabhai Patel and Shri H. M. Patel: Shri Bhaikaka and Shri Bhikhabhai

created Vallabh Vidyanagar, Shri H.M. Patel created Vi� hal Udyognagar and Arogyanagar near Karamsad and Dr. C. L. Patel is the

creator of New Vallabh Vidyanagar, lushgreen mushrooming satellite township, over one hundred acre of land near Karamsad, Mogri and

Gana. It has, besides educa�onal ins�tu�ons, like colleges of Engineering and Technology Pharmacy and Ayurveda, Ayurvedic hospital,

Industrial Training Center, staff quarters, shopping center, playgrounds and auditorium. Steps are afoot to extend the area to four hundred

acres.

More Colleges & Research Center

48



(MBICT), Ins�tute of Language of Human Resource Development. It always pained Dr. C. L. Patel to see

lamentable indifference of the youth in this part of the country to take compe��ve examina�ons for Central Services.

Instead of complaining he established IAS Academy where ambi�ous young men and women undergo training to appear for

compe��ve examina�ons.

Dr. C. L. Patel’s thirst for establishing new ins�tutes is unquenchable. A�er ini�a�ng R. N. Patel lpcowala School of Law and Jus�ce, he

(ADIT) have been built under his dynamic leadership.

Dr. Patel, the visionary leader, is a team player who believes in “None of us is as strong as all of us”. With his terms of devoted

academician – secretaries he has been nurturing nearly forty five educa�onal ins�tu�ons for the last seventeen years,

49

contribu�ng to the spectacular growth of Vallabh Vidyanagar and New Vallabh Vidyanagar.

It is noteworthy that he has been instrumental in publishing a collec�on of wri�ngs on the life and works of Sardar Patel

en�tled “Rashtriya Samvadita na Sarjak”. The publica�on has won wide acclaim. He has also ini�ated Dr. Dilavarsinh Jadeja Memorial

Lecture Series. It merits special men�on that he collected dona�on from the engineering experts and educa�onal ins�tu�ons of Vallabh

Vidyanagar and built seven primary schools in the earthquake – ravaged Bhachau Taluka of Kutchh and named them a�er the mighty Sardar

Patel and thus paid tribute to him in a befi� ng manner.

Honours Conferred

In recogni�on of his outstanding service to the society he has won innumerable accolades. Some of which are : Anand Round Town Club

token of gra�tude to him. And Anand Agriculture University honoured him with Doctor of Literature Degree (Honoris Causa). And Sardar Patel

Award for his exemplary commitment in the field lf educa�on. The twin campuses of Vallabh Vidyanagar and New Vallabh Vidyanagra of

Charutar Vidya Mandal are Shining examples of an ins�tu�on serving the community in the field of educa�on and contribu�ng to the

improvement of the quality of light of the people. The ques�on that has been asked �me and again ever since the birth of Vallabh Vidyanagar is

“Where does so much money come from?”

The answer is that Dr. C.L.Patel, like his predecessors, receives massive dona�ons from his numerous will-wishers and philanthropists in

India and abroad, who have tremendous faith in him. He, in turn, has immense faith in the public sense and generosity of our people and

believes that right public and generosity of our people and believes that right public cause sincerely undertaken can never suffer for want of

funds. Is not the genesis, growth and development of the sixty five year old but youthful Vallabh Vidyanagar Stranger than fic�on?
