Dr. B. R. Ambedkar University Agra

The foundation of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar University (originally known as Agra University) was laid on the 1st of July, 1927, as a result of hectic efforts of a band of enthusiastic educationists like Rev. Canon A.W. Davis, Munshi Narain Prasad Asthana, Dr. L.P. Mathur, Lala Dewan Chand, Rai Bahadur Anand Swaroop, and Dr. Brajendra Swaroop.
The University is steadily rising as a center for higher scientific vocational and job-oriented education and innovative research. The goal of the University is to innovate in the field of education and to become a center of excellence both Nationally and Internationally. The University is confined to impart quality education and satisfy the burning desire of the students who are exploring the creative intellect and learning attitude of the students. The University is making every effort to fulfill the spirit of the University's motto "Tomaso Ma Jyotirgamay," moving from darkness to light.
