Hemchandracharya North Gujarat University

North Gujarat University was established by Ordinance No. 5 of 1986 dated 17.5.1986, which was later passed as the North Gujarat University Act No.22 of 1986 on 11/9/86 by the Legislative Assembly of Gujarat. The University has been functioning since then and growing and expanding steadily.
The North Gujarat University was carved out of Gujarat University, whose headquarters is at Ahmedabad. On bifurcation, the North Gujarat University inherited no physical assets from its parent University. It had, therefore, to start its existence ab-initio so far as its local habitation was concerned. PATAN, a historic town in the northern part of Gujarat, was officially designated as the Head-Quarter town of the University. The town happens to have a composite campus of four affiliated colleges.
