BHUPENDRA NARAYAN MANDAL UNIVERSITY Bhupendra Narayan Mandal University (BNMU) also called B. N. Mandal University was established on January 10, 1992 and is named after Bhupendra Narayan Mandal, who was a freedom fighter. The red circular emblem of the university has a circle housing the motifs of a banyan tree, an open book, a wheat plant with heads and a pair of swans in its four quadrants. These are ensconced in a border with red outlines. The border is inscribed with its motto in Sanskrit ‘सा विद्या या विमुक्तये’ (Rishi Parāśara, Viṣṇu Purāṇa ) meaning ‘Knowledge is One that Liberates’ and its name in Devanagari. The banyan tree symbolises strength, individuality and expression, calmness, growth and the interconnectedness of everything; the open book symbolises knowledge, wisdom and education; the wheat plant denotes fertility, abundance, growth, renewal and resurrection and a pair of swans denote good omen of a long-lasting and happy relationship.
