More details emerging on Sri Sri University
October 26th, 2008
At present there are two Sri Sri entities in Orissa:
The first one offers the following courses:
1. Post Graduate Diploma in Bussiness Management (2 Years)
2. Post Graduate Diploma in Mass Communication (2 Years)
3. Post Graduate Diploma in Government (1 Year )
The first two courses run for about 20 months each while third is 1 year course. A wide range
of meaningful and purposeful elective subjects are offered in each of them.
The second one is the real deal. (I guess at some point the first one may become an extension center of the second one.)
Following is the layout map of the Sri Sri University, near Naraj overlooking Kathajodi river.
Currently the following programs are planned to be offered by the Sri Sri University.
Under Graduate and Post Graduate Courses
Contemporary Courses
These courses have a good demand in the market and are likely to be well received in the future due to the demand-supply gap. They are a mix of courses that have traditionally enjoyed a good demand (e.g. engineering and law) as well as those that would be successful in catering to the requirements of an increasingly liberalized modern economy e.g. entrepreneurship.
Inspirations from His Holiness
These courses cover a wide expanse of knowledge. On the one hand they include courses in Indology, Ayurveda and Vedic Sciences, while on the other they include courses for Advanced Research in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. This versatility is in keeping with the holistic philosophy of the University and what it hopes to achieve. This series of courses also includes courses in Government, which The University believes will help turn out future leaders for Orissa, India and the World.

Following is from the web page of Sri Sri University, which gives a broader picture of the vision.
Formal education trains people to take up different roles in the society in pursuit of economic growth and social order. With the Indian industry poised to take off as a global economic power, the demand for skilled youth to guide and carry on this pursuit can not be underestimated. Paradoxically, it is confronted with an ever increasing number of educated youth, with mismatched skill-sets: youth with an abundance of technical knowledge but clearly lacking in focus on inner joy, initiative and creativity.
Sri Sri University is an international initiative to address this anomaly by developing tomorrow’s leaders, managers of change, trained to the industry requirements, with an attitude and skill-set transcending specific disciplines. Inspired by His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, students will look beyond their own limitations and share bigger responsibilities as worthy citizens and brim with confidence. In them we may see not just the smartest, but the leaders, the pillars of society on whose shoulders the future world will be built – Truly global citizens with traditional and moral niceties, broadening the vision… deepening the roots.
Under the aegis of the Art of Living, through its educational arm Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Vidya Mandir Trust (SSRVM Trust), Sri Sri University, situated on the serene banks of the Kathjori River near Cuttack in Orissa, India, will be a multi-disciplinary university matching international standards on education. Amply responsive to the industry requirements and committed to all-round development of students’ personality and value systems, it will nurture professionals with relevant information, updated skill-sets and an attitude for understanding their social responsibilities and leadership roles in all walks of life.
As part of the overall university initiative, it is also proposed to set-up a separate world-class MedicalCollege within the campus to produce qualified doctors with a deeper sense of commitment and responsibility towards this noble service. The college shall also have an adjacent Super-speciality Hospital with the latest state-of-the-art facilities and equipments to facilitate total practical experience to the students to complement the excellent theoretical education, and also to provide comprehensive treatment facilities for the needy from far and wide.
