Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya

Devi Ahilya University (informally abbreviated DAVV), formerly Indore University, is a State University whose jurisdiction was initially restricted to Indore city. Later on, its jurisdiction was extended to seven tribal-dominated districts of the Indore division, namely, Jhabua, Alirajpur, Dhar, Khargone, Khandwa, Burhanpur, and Barwani.

This experiment has certainly made a positive impact on the overall development of the University, both in terms of employment opportunities on one side and students' needs on the other.
