SANT GADGE BABA AMRAVATI UNIVERSITY
SANT GADGE BABA AMRAVATI UNIVERSITY Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University (SGBAU) was established on Maharashtra Day, on May 1, 1983. The emblem of the university has a glowing red sun on a yellow circular background, cresrted by its motto in Sanskrit ‘सा विद्या या विमुक्तये’ meaning ‘That which Liberates is Knowledge’ which forms part of a verse appearing in Vishnu-Purana (1.19.41) and supported by an open book bearing its year of establishment. It is ensconced in a yellow border which bears its name in English and Devanagari. A pair of floral laurels support this circular emblem. The sun symbolises light, universal prosperity and path for growth; the open book symbolises knowledge and wisdom and the laurels symbolises victory, success and achievement.
