Our Inspiration

प्रवर्तनीया सद्विद्या भुवि यत्सुकृतं महत्

"TRUE KNOWLEDGE SHOULD BE PROMOTED ALL OVER THE WORLD AS IT IS THE MOST NOBLE AND PIOUS WORK."

The inspiration, the value, the belief, the standard and the vision enshrined in the above quotation come from the noted philanthropist and social worker, Late Shri Ganeshi Lal Ji Agrawal.

The spark he ignited has slowly but surely transformed into an illuminating star guiding those who aspire to seek excellence in learning and education.

Who We Are

Every great institution begins with a promise.

In 1998, Shri Narayan Das Agrawal chose to honour the vision of his father, Late Shri Ganeshi Lal Agrawal, by building an institution that would deliver quality education not only to the region, but far beyond it. With this purpose, he established the Sri Jagannath Prasad Ganeshi Lal Bajaj Charitable Trust Samiti and laid the foundation of what would become GLA University.

Set in the sacred city of Mathura, the karmabhoomi of Lord Krishna, GLA was envisioned as more than a university. It was designed as a destination for knowledge seekers.
