Education is a continuous process of transmission of knowledge, culture and civilization.

We, at Vallabh Vidyanagar, have imbibed the indomitable spirit of true and great visionaries like Sardar Patel, Shri Bhaikaka and Shri Bhikhabhai Saheb. It is their farsightedness and missionary zeal that led to the establishment of Vidyanagar six decades ago. Today this educational township has become a true centre of learning with a huge vibrant students community, excellent faculty members and an environment which fosters the integral development of students. In a span of six decades Charutar Vidya Mandal has established large number of world class educational institutions with excellent infrastructure and infusion of Modern Technology. In contemporary times, when the government aid is not forthcoming in the establishment of new institutions and new courses, Charutar Vidya Mandal has taken upon itself the responsibility of providing quality education to students from Gujarat and from all over India and abroad. We at CVM carry forward the legacy of Shri Bhaikaka, Shri Bhikhabhai and Dr H M Patel and fulfil their desire to transform Vidynagar into Modern Nalanda and Takshshila. I take this opportunity to introduce our Institute, Institute of Language Studies and Applied Social Sciences, popularly known as ILSASS. The objective of establishing the ILSASS is to provide quality education in the field of Social Sciences namely Applied Economics, English Language and Literature, Political Science and International Relations, Journalism and Mass Communication and Social Work (Social Enterprise). In the near future we intend to introduce study of world religion so as to mould well informed and religiously educated citizens in the country who would take a lead to create a harmonious world. I am absolutely certain that the study of Social Sciences will add to the human capital of the country. I heartily welcome you to ILSASS and I am absolutely confident that it will make a huge difference in your life and career both qualitatively and quantitatively.

Choice Based Credit System
About the Course The most important objective to startMSW is not only the requirement of job oriented courses, which helps in getting the employment, but the course prepares better and more efficient citizens for Mother India, who can have greater sense of responsibility towards their nation. There is an ever-growing demand for social work in our country as the result of Westernisation, material advancement and the blind adoption and imitation of Western values, which have made humans life a complex web of absurdities. It has created an everlasting demand for social work to cure those complexities. Professional courses and job market are closely related. The present time is of cut throat competition. A candidate with a professional degree is considered to be more competent than the simple graduates and so s/he stands a better chance in the employment market. Indian society is known for its many virtues and plus points but its negative side needs to be addressed simultaneously. Deep rooted and age-old drawbacks like superstitions, illiteracy, dowry, alcohol-consumption, child-marriage, etc. are the stigma in the Indian society. The intensively taught and trained students can have a wide scope to share and to impart their knowledge to the illiterate and ignorant masses and thereby to liberate them from rigid customs and rituals. The course aims at producing a greater confidence and power in the candidates, which will enable them to adjust in their own personal and social life. Scope of the Course The study of social work is for committed individuals who are passionate about caring for people, from infants to the elderly, helping them overcome lifes most difficult challenges. The study of social work prepares you to become a professional social worker, by helping you develop knowledge, values, and skills essential to competent social work practice. The study of social work gives you the opportunity to work with individuals through internships with local agencies, to test what you are learning in the classroom and to identify where you need more educational experience. The MSW programme offers its students a wide range of work opportunities in non-government, inter-government and government organisations working at the micro and macro levels simultaneously at the local, national and international levels. The programme equips its students to work in a wide range of capacities as social workers, counsellors, field officers, project officers and programme coordinators in the fields of health, education, development, criminal and juvenile justice, gender issues, family services such as family courts, family counselling centres, adoption centres, broad-based child welfare services, community organisation and development practice, NGOcorporate initiatives, industry, funding agencies, research-based organisations, advocacy and human rights organisations and organisations working in specialised areas of disability, HIV/AIDS, sexuality, disasters, etc. Employment opportunities are also available in academic and research organisations as instructors, lecturers in colleges/ departments of social work, as researchers and as community development personnel, in funding agencies and as development consultants.

PROSPECTUS

Path Traversed Vallabh Vidyanagar which has a short past but a long history, is a living memorial of Sardar Patel, the epic person. He dreamt of a modern and prosperous Independent India in terms of regeneration of villages through (1) the education, (2) advanced agriculture and (3) cooperative ventures. We are indeed very fortunate that we have here all the three : Vallabh Vidyanagar is the realisation of his first dream; Institute of Agriculture at Anand (now Anand Agricultural University) is the fruition of the second and Amul Dairy, the cradle of cooperative dairying, is the fulfilment of the third. BHAIKAKA & BHIKHABHAI: THE CREATOR DUO The genesis and phenomenal growth and development of Vallabh Vidyanagar, the well-planned and unique educational township situated in the heart of the Gujarat State, is stranger than fiction. Based on local talent and local resources it is a peerless example of self-reliance and dedication. While working in Sindh (now in Pakistan) as Superintending Engineer in Sukkur Barrage, Yevala in Maharashtra and Ahmedabad Municipality, as a distinguished Chief Engineer, Shri Bhailalbhai Dyabhai Patel, later warmly taken to their heart by the people of Gujarat as Bhaikaka, had earned reputation for his sense of values, discipline, dedication to duty and absolute integrity. Having been born and brought up in a family of strained financial resources in Sojitra village in Kheda district he had known what it meant to be poor. So, while in dedicating himself to the cause of rural India which was sunk in inertia, squalor and abject poverty. Once during a meeting between him and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. who knew Bhaikaka as a man of practical bent of mind, unusual ability and character, Sardar advised him to go to the villages and work for their regeneration. Sardars wish was tantamount to a command to him. Bhaikakas irresistible desire to improve the lot of the poor villagers coupled with Sardars advice or command impelled him to take early retirement from the service. He saw that the most potent instrument to improve the subhuman life of villagers was to bring higher learning to their very doorstep and thus the concept of establishing institutions of higher education started taking shape. He got in touch with Shri Bhikhabhai Kuberbhai Patel. a dedicated and farsighted educationist, fired by the same ideal. He had played a pivotal role in the establishment of Charotar Education Society in Anand and Narmada Kelavani Mandal at Shuklateerth. Torrential Rain of Land They held several meetings in different parts of Kheda (then Kaira) district and a couple of them of about five hundred persons interested in higher education in Anand town. On March 28,1945 it was decided to draw and implement the plan of planting an educational township in a wilderness infested with dacoits which later came to be known as Vallabh Vidyanagar. Bhaikaka and Bhikhabhai worked out an ingenious scheme based on enlightened self-interest. They persuaded the farmers to donate their land free of cost, saying, Donate your land to us now; well develop and

CHARUTAR VIDYA MANDAL

use two-thirds and return you the remaining one-third in course of time. It was explained to them that while having the pleasure of assisting in the establishment of an educational township at no cost to themselves the building plots they would each obtain would appreciate sufficiently not only to cover the value of the land donated, but also leave a handsome margin of profit. It was a win-win situation and the response to it was overwhelming. At a meeting in Bakrol, a village at a hailing distance from todays Vallabh Vidyanagar, spontaneous offer of land was made to Bhaikaka and Bhikhabhai.Amap of the village was spread before the duo and they were asked to mark with a pencil the area needed. Residents of Anand and Karamsad (Sardar Patels village) followed suit. Thus a total of 555 acres of land at the intersection of Bakrol, Karamsad and Anand was received in donation. It was a torrential rain of land! Exemplary Self-reliance The founders decided to establish two institutions - Charutar Vidya Mandal and Charotar Gramoddhar Sahakari Mandal. The former was to be devoted to the cause of education, that is, establishing colleges and schools and the latter meant to produce the building materials for educational institutions and residential quarters. They were registered on August 10, 1945 and September 7, 1945, respectively. Bhaikaka and Bhikhabhai came to reside in the wilderness in an improvised residence - a hut measuring 8 ft and 1 0 ft on March 3, 1 946. They chose a mango tree and installed themselves under it, in the divine presence of Lord Brahma, the Super Creator, dreaming, planning, breaking a new ground, organizing, getting things done and resolving snarls to plant a city of education farfrom the maddening hustle and bustle of cities. It merits a special mention here that Bhaikaka, the Patriarch of Mango Tree, as he was then called, despised the idea of copying or borrowing know-how and do-how from anywhere. His indomitable faith in the local human material, though inexperienced, propelled him to bake bricks for the buildings locally. He established building material units -workshop and foundry, cement pipe factory, tiles factory, rubber factory and prestressed concrete factory to produce, in addition to bricks, lime, timber doors and windows, flooring tiles, hume pipes and various concrete products. The materials thus produced worked out cheaper than in the market and in addition, provided employment to the local people. It is difficult to resist the temptation of recalling here that Bhaikaka invited a Harijan to inaugurate the brick-kiln, a Muslim mechanic to lay the foundation of the workshop and foundry and a Brahmin to lay the first brick of the V. P. Science College ! A printing press named as Gramoddhar Printing Press for printing handbills, booklets, books, research journals and questionpapers was also set up. Bhaikaka, Ihe man with green thumb, planted a thousand trees. It is to him that we owe the lush-green, stately, shady trees all along the roads in VallabhVidyanagar.

First College Born While many pessimists seriously doubted the success of the ambitious project of establishing an educational town with a view to bringing about regeneration of villages through modern education and employment and thereby arresting the exodus of promising youth from villages to cities. Sardar Patel, the unerring judge of men and women, not only whole heartedly blessed the great adventure but also expressed his tremendous faith in its success. Inspiration, encouragement and unbounded support of the mignty Sardar, blessings of Mahatma Gandhi and extraordinary hard work of the founders ushered into existence Vitthalbhai Patel Mahavidyalaya in June 1947. The birth of the first college, like the birth of the first child, was hailed with a fanfare of trumpets! B.A. and B.Sc. classes commenced between towering walls sans any roof. It is something to write home about that teachers and students carried with cheer bricks and mortar after the conclusion of their classes and sweated along with the skilled and semi-skilled construction workers! Justice M.C. Chagla, Vice - Chancellor. University of Bombay, during his visit to Vallabh Vidyanagarin 1947, was all praise for it when he said, I came here... and found a new magic. Dreams have come to reality. As the Vice-Chancellor. I am proud that such an ideal college is affiliated to the University of Bombay. I see the seeds of real educational revolution being sown in this soil... While performing the opening ceremony of the College, Sardar Patel complimented Bhaikaka. the great public servant, for his tireless efforts and appealed to the public to give him their unflinching support and pray for the realization of his dream of an ideal seat of learning. Jawaharlal Nehru, who laid the foundation stone of Vallabh Vidyanagar observed ...The first thing I have liked is that the activities here have the object of serving village people. The other thing I have liked is that you do not care whether your house is ready or not. You know how to start putting it to use and start your activities. Here we find harmony of principle and practice. This institution by itself prepares its requirements. I earnestly hope that the example of this institution will not only be followed in this province but throughout the country... It is noteworthy that many reputed men of letters from all over the country joined the Vitthalbhai Patel Mahavidyalaya as teachers in response to the appeal of the founders who ensured that the quality of education imparted was first-rate. In order that new teachers too equip theirstudents with the latest advances in their respective disciplines they sent nearly a dozen teachers to U.K., U.S.A. and Germany for receiving advanced training in research. Many citizens of Anand and nearby places volunteered generous help in running the college and in the development of the matchless educational township. In the face of a swarm of problems, mostly financial, they stood by the great visionaries and helped them surmount these boldly and imaginatively. Sir C.V Raman and Lady Raman graced the first Annual Day celebration of the college.

Birth of Colleges of Engineering and Commerce Within a short span of five years there came into existence two colleges, one of engineering and the other of commerce. Biria Education Trust made a munificent donation of twenty-five lakhs of rupees (in those days!) for the engineering college which was named Birla Vishwakarma Mahavidyalaya (Engineering College, 1948). Lord Mounbatten declared it open on June 14, 1948 when he said: ...This concept of Sardar Patels is therefore all important in modern India, and as an experiment in village reconstruction. I hope that we shall see its application in other parts of the country. The two societies (Charutar Vidya Mandal and Charotar Gramodhar Sahakari Mandal) which are carrying out the work seem to me to be admirably suited for the purpose. On the one hand you have one society dealing with the uplift work in the villages, covering sanitation, water supply, drainage, housing and cottage industries, while on the other hand you have the other society carrying out educational activities. It is clear from what Mr. Patel (Bhaikaka) said in his speech that from the start the organizers have kept before them the project of a residential university, and I am glad to see that the educational areas of the township have been planned accordingly.... It is a real pleasure to me to be here this afternoon and to perform this ceremony, the last of its kind which it will be my pleasure to perform in India as Governor-General. The engineering college was the first one started by a private trust in the entire Bombay State, which extended from Karachi to Dharvad, and the first one in Gujarat State. The commerce college, foundation stone of which was laid by Dr. Rajendra Prasad. was named Bhikhabhai Jivabhai Vanijya Mahavidyalaya (1950). Visits of several very important persons one after another and their expression of the high opinion of the boundless courage, selflessness and practical idealism of the founders and their team of dedicated colleagues shot Vallabh Vidyanagar to national fame. So impressed were the Gujaratis staying in British East Africa by the vision and mission of the founders that they donated ten lakhs of rupees in the year 1951 for the development of the Oxbridge of India. And the growth and development continued to take place by leaps and bounds. A hostel for women students, a number of hostels for men students, buildings for housing primary and secondary schools, residential quarters for teachers and other functionaries of educational institutions, tenements for labourers working in building material factories were constructed from the donations thatflowed in. Establishment of Gram Panchayat (1954) and start of National Cadet Corps station command (1954) and Vallabh Vidyanagar railway station (1957) added new dimension to the prolific development of Vallabh Vidyanagar. And all this within a short span of only eight years! Birth of Sardar Patel University It was Vallabh Vidyanagars crowning glory when within ten years of its foundation it became a university township in October 1955. The university was named Sardar Vallabhbhai Vidyapeeth and Bhaikaka, author of more than half a dozen books and numerous articles, was appropriately appointed its first Vice-Chancellor on

December 19, 1955. The academic community of Gujarat hailed the appointment. Most of the college teachers, who were sent abroad to receive research degrees and had been teaching postgraduate classes since 1948, were appointed to the universitys post-graduate departments. Several others were appointed through advertisement in all-India newspapers. Bhaikaka created facilities for research and encouraged participation in academic conferences, seminars and workshops in spite of the fact that in the initial years the Government did not give any financial help whatsoever to the university! So keen was his interest in research that the Charutar Vidya Mandal published in 1957 Vallabh Vidyanagar Research Bulletin-a biannual. A great tragedy befell Vallabh Vidyanagar when Shri Bhikhabhai Kuberbhai Patel, who had drafted the constitution of the university and helped its birth, passed away in 1956. It was a tremendous loss to Bhaikaka and to the numerous pupils of Shri Bhikhabhai. Out of the sixtysix years that he lived Bhikhabhai, reverentially called Saheb devoted fortytwo to education. Even now, after more than half a century of his departure, his former pupils, all over the world, remember him and deem themselves blessed to have been groomed by him. By establishing Bhailalbhai & Bhikhabhai Polytechnic (B & B Institute of Technology) in 1958 Charutar Vidya Mandal paid tribute to its cofounder in a befitting manner. The founding of Bhikhabhai Saheb PTC College in 2004 bears testimony to the Mandals renewed expression of gratitude this great educationist. On the conclusion of his three-year term as the Vice Chancellor in December, 1958 Bhaikaka entered active politics, for he felt that educated, honest and good people must take part in politics if they want to stamp out corruption, ensure rule of law and democracy to flourish. He severed his direct responsibility for the Charutar Vidya Mandal and invited Shri H. M. Patel, an I. C. S. officer of great repute, who had provided strategic guidance during the Partition of India, to nurture it as the Chairman. But he continued to evince keen interest in the progress of Vallabh Vidyanagar and to make himself available for advice and guidance till his sad demise on March 31 1970. Vallabh Vidyanagar felt orphaned. He was cremated at the spot where he and Bhikhabhai had lived in a hut, now a place of pilgrimage. Special Convocation Honours Bhaikaka It was a memorable event when Sardar Vallabhbhai Vidyapeeth held a special convocation on November 12, 1959 to confer upon Bhaikaka honorary degree of Doctor of Science as an expression of gratitude for its creator. Dr. S. Radhakrishnan delivered the convocation address. H. M. PATEL & PROLIFIC DEVELOPMENT Shri H.M.Patel, a civil servant of distinction, had served the country as Cabinet Secretary, Partition Secretary, Defence Secretary, Food and Agriculture Secretary and Principal Finance Secretary. The thirty-five years between 1958 and 1993, during which he served the Charutar Vidya Mandal as Bhaikakas successor, were the years when Vallabh Vidyanagar grew and developed at an incredibly fast pace under his visionary stewardship. New Colleges Born He established a polytechnic for awarding diploma in Civil, Mechanical and Electrical engineering and named it Bhailalbhai

Bhikhabhai Polytechnic (1958), Nalini & Arvind Arts College (1959), Kala Kendra College of Fine Arts (1964), now named Rama Manubhai Desai College of Music & Dance, Rajratna PT. Patel Science College (1962), New Arts College (later named as TV. Patel Arts College (1964), H.M. Pate! Institute of English Training & Research (1965), S.M. Patel College of Home Science (1971), College of Architecture (1980), A.R. Pharmacy College (1981), I.E. Patel English Teaching School (1970), CVM Higher Secondary Complex Science, Arts and Commerce Streams (1976), Home Science Higher Secondary Stream (1978) and H.M. Patel Career Development Centre (1992) etc. It is heartening to note that Nalini and Arvind Arts College, Vitthalbhai Patel Mahavidyalaya (Science College), Bhikhabhai Jivabhai Vanijya Mahavidyalaya and H M Patel Institute of English were recipients of Best College award of Gujarat. The award, instituted by the Government of Gujarat, carried fifty thousand rupees in cash Vitthalbhai Patel Mahavidyalaya bagged the award thrice in succession! Institute of English Author of books in English and Gujarati, such as the First Flush of Freedom, Rites of Passage and HMno Akshardeh, a translator and an orator, Shri H.M.Patel was deeply concerned about the declining standards of English teaching in Gujarat. He held that English is the language of wider communication in todays world. He envisioned the establishment of an institution to train teachers of English and gave shape to his vision. He donated the purse presented to him by his admirers on his 60 birthday and the H.M. Patel Institute of English Training & Research came into existence in 1965. The Institute has planned new and uncommon programmes and added different dimensions to the educational scene. It is heartening that the institute has received the UGC award as a College with Potential for Excellence(CPE). Spacious buildings for housing the new colleges and schools were constructed and administrative buildings, library halls, new wings, workshops, computer laboratories and floors were added to the institutions in order to meet the requirements of the growing number of students. Not only this, a number of hostels New Hostel Block A, B and C, Bhaikaka Hostel and Ranak Hostel for girls etc. were constructed to accommodate them. Numerous houses for teaching and non-teaching staff were also built. Shri H.M. Patel always accorded importance to cocurricular and extracurricular activities like seminars, discussion groups, games and sports and cultural activities as means of development of personality. With a view to honouring the memory of those who contributed to the birth and growth of Vallabh Vidyanagar and providing opportunity to the students and teachers to broaden their mental horizon, he initiated Sardar Patel Memorial Lecture Series in the Sardar Patel University and Bhaikaka Memorial Lecture Series and Ishwar Petlikar Lecture Series in the Charutar Vidya Mandal. He created infrastructural facilities like the badminton hall, basketball courts and cricket ground etc. in and near Shastri Maidan. Agro-Economic Centre & SPRERI With a view to promoting rural development he persuaded the Ministry of Agriculture and crealed infrastructural facilities like the badminton hall, basketball courts and cricket ground etc. in and near Shastri Maidan.

Vitthal Udyognagar & Medical Campus Shri H.M. Patel. like Bhaikaka, maintained that one of the aims of founding Vallabh Vidyanagar being making the local youth more employable it was desirable to provide suitable employment to those who received education here so that their cityward drift could be arrested. Therefore, he conceived the project of establishing an industrial town in the vicinity of Vallabh Vidyanagar and named it after another illustrious son of Charotar area, Vitthalbhai Patel, elder brother of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. Thus was born Vitthal Udyognagar, spreading over five hundred and fifty acres of land with a total of four hundred and fifty units, twelve big and the rest medium and small. Shri H.M. Patel worked relentlessly for providing the latest healthcare facilities to the rural masses and took up, when he was close to seventy-five years of age, the ambitious project of establishing a well-equipped Hospital and Medical College in the rural surroundings near Karamsad (Sardar Patels village). The unique Hospital and Medical College Complex, managed by the Charutar Arogya Mandal, of which too he was the Chairman, consists of Shree Krishna Hospital and Medical Research Centre, Pramukh Swami Medical College. H.M Patel Institute of Medical Laboratory Technology. Khushalbhai M. Patel Institute of Physiotherapy, Shri A.D. Gorwala Blood Bankand Manibhai Shivabhai Cancer Centre. Honours Bestowed In recognition of his great service to Charutar Vidya Mandal and through it the Sardar Patel University, in the development of which he had played a prominent role, the university conferred upon him honorary degree of Doctor of Letters. He also received Albert Schweitzer Award of Animal Welfare Institute of USA for championing the cause of afforestation and conservation of wild life and Nargis Dutt Award (posthumously), for his production of the feature depiction of some aspects of Sardars stellar contribution to India after Independence. Like Bhaikaka. he too entered politics with a view to rooting out corruption and lawlessness and strengthening democracy. Even as Cabinet Minister in the Central Government he kept constant touch with his institutions in Vallabh Vidyanagar. Despite the heavy responsibilities with which he was saddled he would come down here at least once a month and arrange meetings with the Principals of colleges and schools and preside over functions. Shri H. M. Patel passed away on November 30, 1993, creating a deep void in the academic life of Vallabh Vidyanagar. A pall of gloom descended on Vallabh Vidyanagar where he had devoted

The twin campuses of Vailabh Vidyanagar and New Vallabh Vidyanagar of Charutar Vidya Mandal are shining examples of an institution serving the community in the field of education and contributing to the improvement of the quality ofliteofthe people. The question that has been asked time and again ever since the birth of Vallabh Vidyanagar is Where does so much money come from? The answer is that Dr.C.L.Patel, like his predecessors, receives massive donationsfrom his numerous well-wishers and philanthropists in India and abroad, who have tremendous faith in him. He, in turn, has immense faith in the public sense and generosity of our people and believes that right public cause sincerely undertaken can never suffer for want of funds. Is not the genesis, growth and development of the sixtyfive-year old but youthful Vallabh Vidyanagar stranger than fiction ?
