Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya (DAVV), formerly known as the University of Indore, stands as a prominent educational institution in Central India, celebrating its 50th year of dedicated service and academic excellence. DAVV holds the distinction of being the sole State University in Madhya Pradesh to have received an "A" grade accreditation from NAAC. Its inception traces back to 1964 when it was established through an Act of the Madhya Pradesh Legislature.
DAVV functions as an affiliating State University, encompassing seven tribal-dominated districts within the Indore division. Its mission is to address the educational needs of both ends of the spectrum: on one side, it serves the highly industrialized district of Indore, Madhya Pradesh, while on the other, it reaches out to the tribal and economically disadvantaged rural areas in the state.
The University annually caters to approximately 180,000 students, offering a wide range of diverse courses and fostering interdisciplinary research. Its commitment to delivering value-based education is rooted in its motto, "Dhiyo Yonah Prachodayat," and is supported by a highly qualified faculty and well-established educational resources. DAVV is steadfastly dedicated to realizing its vision and mission, guiding its pursuit of excellence in academia.:
