SOMAIYA VIDYAVIHAR UNIVERSITY

The Somaiya Vidyavihar Complex was founded in 1959 by the late Shri K.J. Somaiya. Karamshibhai set up the Somaiya Trust in 1953 for shaping young minds through quality education. On August 26, 2019, Somaiya Vidyavihar announced that it would be ‘the first ever private university in Mumbai’. The red colour circular emblem of the university has a traditional lamp crested by its motto in Sanskrit ‘ज्ञानादेव तु कैवल्यम्’ (Pañcadaśī, verse 9.97, by Vidyaranya) and its English version ‘Knowledge Alone Liberates’ meaning knowledge liberates one from poverty, hunger and other attachments. At the bottom its name is written. The traditional lamp symbolises light, illumination, awakening, devotion, purity, guidance, protection, hope and prosperity.
