No more it is considered to be just for the ones in glamour industry, but it’s learnt by people as an impactful expression of one’s personality that backs ones words and actions.

Mody University founded in the year 1998 by Shri R.P Mody with a vision to bring equality between the genders in true sense and mission to empower women by imparting education and values. From last 16 years Mody University is making women independent and flexible to camouflage in the changing scenario while keeping one’s individuality indiscrete. Since inception, Mody University is striving not just to cater quality education but develop minds to think rationally, personalities distinct to make a mark in various fields and above all, civilized citizens who can bring about a positive change in the society hence taking our country towards multifold growth.

Mody University being a green campus, situated far-off from city chaos posses a temple adorned with beautiful idols of Shri Ramchandra, Sita and Hanuman. The temple is therefore called Ram Darbar.

The campus has a yagnashala, where the yagna is conducted by the priests from the holy city of India-Banaras. The recitation of Vedas by the priests infuses positivity in the campus.

In the present era, ‘Peer Pressure’ has become one of the most common phrases used; to keep students away from the same, a meditation hall is constructed to accommodate 500 people at a time. Meditation doesn’t only get mind and soul to calm down but it rejuvenates the person hence making one more productive.
