INSTITUTE OF ADVANCED STUDIES IN EDUCATION 

The Institute of Advanced Studies in Education (IASE) (Deemed to be University) was established as Gandhi Vidya Mandir in 1950 by Shri Kanhaiyalal Dugar. It became a university in 2002, with the formal recognition of Deemed to be University, under section 3 of the UGC Act 1956. The core principles of founder ‘कुछ न चाहो, काम आ जाओ’ and ‘कोई और नहीं, कोई ग़ैर नहीं’ are practised by the institution. The orange colour emblem of the institute has a motif of sun with a face moustache and tilak with artful rays supported by its motto in Sanskrit ‘ज्ञानभानुर्भासताम्’ meaning ‘Let the Sun of Knowledge Shine’. On the right of the pictorial its acronym and status are written. The sun symbolises life, energy, power, positivity and clarity. The sun is a natural force that is outside of our control, it illuminates the world around us, helps living creatures navigate the planet and sustains the ecosystem. The colour orange symbolises energy, vitality, creativity, inspiration, joy and happiness.
