About Shobhit University
Shobhit University aims to create a conducive, enabling academic climate
to facilitate integration of the younger generation into the logic of
the present system and to develop educational means by which men and
women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to
participate in the transformation of their world.
The historical commitment to empower the community through education
goes back as early as in 1924, when
Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Ji launched the first
educational institute named “Hindu Anglo Nagrik Inter College” now known
as Hindu Rashtriya Inter College, at Gangoh. This humble and noble
initiative was the result of the inspiration and commitment of Babu
Kedarnath Ji.
As a part of this journey to ignite the minds, a
renowned agriculturist and social worker from Gangoh, district
Saharanpur, our inspirer, Babu Vijendra Kumar Ji envisioned a society
to cater the needs of the youth of the area and empower all sections of
the community of our nation through education. This dream of Babu Ji
was formalized by
Dr. Shobhit Kumar and Kunwar Shekhar Vijendra
voluntarily and with the spirit of social service to the community
along with a team of eminent professionals, technocrats, educationists,
and social workers by establishing NICE Society in 1989.
