About Department

Haryana State was carved out of erstwhile Punjab State in 1966. An incomparable heritage of antiquity, mysticism, spirituality, ancient kingdoms and a history of epic battles, multiple conquests, foreign settlers and invaders have cohered here to create a resilient, proud and robust state which has made Haryana a synonym of progress and development with the second highest per capita income in India.

Access, quality, equity, sustainability and future readiness in higher education are the guiding principles on which the vision of the State Government is based. There is strong evidence of linking education to higher growth and productivity.
