GVM was founded in 1950, on a 1200- acre piece of land, on one of the harshest and most backward terrains. Acutely prone to droughts, heat and cold waves, epidemics and other travesties of nature, GVM has striven to alleviate the acute backwardness through various permanent and adhoc programmes of education, culture, livelihood, health and hygiene, vocations etc.There is no discrimination on the lines of caste, creed, class, colour or ideological or political learning. The rich cultural and spiritual heritage of India and propagation of Gandhian ideals of Ahimsa, Sarvoday and Universal Brotherhood are given due importance in the curricular, as well as periodical, programmes.
GVM was conceptualized and nurtured as a University. The studies in education started in 1953, through its basic Teacher’s Training College . The degree courses started in 1956, postgraduate in 1958 and the facility for Ph.D was added in 1968. ‘The Institute of Advanced Studies in Education’ came into being under the Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Education in 1993.
The new millennium heralded the dawn of a dream-come true. After an arduous toil of over fifty years, Institute of Advanced Studies in Education (IASE) of GVM was formally recognized as Deemed to be University of Government of India and UGC, in 2002. IASE is India’s premiere Institute in the Faculty of Education; facilitating teacher’s training from primary level up to the doctoral stage.
IASE has had a glorious past. It has grown from strength-to-strength and its 50 years history is a saga of strides, struggles and successes. ‘Service with Sincerity’ is our watchword and the motto is ‘Gyanbhanur-bhasatam’ - ‘May the Sun of Knowledge Shine’. (the sun knows no discrimination and engulfs the entire world with light and warmth). These details are retrieved from www.iaseuniversity.org.in
