RASHTRASANT TUKADOJI MAHARAJ NAGPUR UNIVERSITY |
Nagpur University was established on August 4, 1923. It was renamed as Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University (RTMNU). The emblem of the university has a cobra with inflated hood with a background of an open book bearing its motto in Sanskrit ‘विद्या दैव परम् तमृ’ meaning ‘Knowledge is the Supreme Destiny’. These motifs are ensconced in a circular border bearing its name. The serpents and snakes represent fertility or a creative life force. As snakes shed their skin through sloughing, they are symbols of rebirth, transformation, immortality and healing. The open book symbolises knowledge and wisdom.
