SHOBHIT UNIVERSITY
SHOBHIT UNIVERSITY |
Shobhit Institute of Engineering and Technology (SIET), Deemed to be University known as Shobhit University was established on November 8, 2006. The emblem of the university was conceptualised by Kunwar Shekhar Vijendra and designed by Raashid Rangrez. The circle which has no beginning and end is a universal symbol and represents the notion of totality, wholeness, perfection, the self, the infinite, the eternity and the timelessness in cyclic movement. The outermost boundary of the circle has scalloped shaped edges in yellow ochre. The curves of the scallops depict cupped hands ready to receive the benediction of knowledge from the universe and the eight points represent the eight directions. The depiction signifies receiving the light of the sun from the universe. Light is symbolic of knowledge, goodwill and good fortune. Enclosed within the outer ring is a map of the world in the colour green. Green is the colour of prosperity. Superimposed on the world map is a white ‘U’ which stands for both universe and university. Within the ‘U’ is an orange ‘S’ which stands for Shobhit in the shape of a flame - the flame of knowledge as well as the flame of passion to spread knowledge. Orange or saffron is the colour of valour as well as spirituality. The colours of the Shobhit University logo echo the Indian tricolour. Between the outer scallops and the inner circle with the map of the world is a white ring in which are inscribed the name and its motto in Sanskrit taken from a verse in the Kathopanishad, ‘तेजस्वि नावधीतमस्तु’, which translates as ‘May Knowledge Illuminate Us Both’.
