Goa University (GU)
is perhaps the best
Public University in
India. It is multi-
disciplinary and
i n t e r n a t i o n a l l y
visible. Located in
globally recognized,
progressive, socially
harmonious Goa,
GU has a predominantly young, highly diverse, qualified and
motivated faculty. GU’s per capita scientific productivity is
sixth highest among Indian HEIs, measured in terms of top
25% Scopus publications as a ratio of all Scopus publications.
With a small base of students drawing from a small host
population, 71% of the students are women, one of the best
gender ratios in India. GU also has the only western
University Choir in India, which is globally renowned.
These achievements are particularly noteworthy in the light
of Goa’s unique political history. No higher education (except
medicine) existed in Goa during the 451 years of Portuguese
colonial rule. Immediately after the Liberation of Goa on 19
December 1961, Centre for Postgraduate Instruction and
Research (CPIR) of Bombay University was established in
Panaji in 1962. Goa University was established in 1984,
incorporating CPIR, just prior to Goa achieving statehood in
1987. The picturesque Campus of 404 acres on Taleigao
Plateau was inaugurated in 1990 with 12 departments, as
compared to 6 Schools and 15 Departments today. From
Marine Science to Konkani, many unique branches of learning
are located in a small public multi-faculty university.
University Library
The Goa University Library and Information Centre was
established in the year 1985. It was then part of the CPIR of
Bombay University. From its modest collection of books, this
library has developed into a huge library with modern
