SAURASHTRA UNIVERSITY Saurashtra University, established on May 23, 1967, is situated in Rajkot city of the Saurashtra region of Gujarat State. The emblem of the university has a lion sitting in front of a mountain range with rising sun accompanied by a veena, an open book and a space shuttle. All these are ensconced by a brown circle with floral design patterns, which carries the university’s motto in Sanskrit ‘पावका नः सरस्वती’ meaning ‘Goddess Saraswati, who Nourishes and Sanctifies’ and its name. The lion, the mountains and the rising sun represents the geography of the location of the university. The veena symbolises gyana and when the veena is played and the musical notes are produced, it is as though knowledge is radiating out in all directions. Open book denotes knowledge and wisdom and space shuttle symbolises the exploration of space and space science.
