ABOUT THE UNIVERSTIY
Birla Global
University(BGU) is a self-
ﬁnanced private unitary
University and has been
established by the
enactment of Birla Global
University Odisha Act,
2015 with its main campus
spread over an area of
nearly 30 acres of land in
Gothapatna village under
Bhubaneswar city limits.
As per the Act the
management of the
university is carried out by
a Board of Governors
headed by
Smt. Jayashree Mohta,
Chairperson, Birla
Academy of Art & Culture
being the main promoter
of Birla Global University.
However, Honorable
Governor of Odisha is the
Chancellor of the
University.

in global context while pursuing
Excellence, Innovations and
Inclusiveness.
MISSION
• To globalize through international
collaborations and exchange of
students and faculty.
• To strive for excellence in teaching
and research.
• To continuously innovate pedagogy
and course content.
• To encourage diversity and
inclusiveness.
VALUES
HONESTY AND INTEGRITY
We believe in being truthful and
adhering to the highest ethical
standards in personal and professional
conduct.
EMPATHY
We recognize the needs of human
development and respect diverse
social, cultural and economic
perspectives.
TRANSPARENCY
We believe in openness and assume
responsibility as well as accountability
in all our dealings and actions.

dissemination.

Heir to a glorious tradition of learning and scholarship, India today is
modern, young and focused on reinventing itself to take its rightful
place among the comity of nations. Demographically speaking, every
Second Indian is less than 25 years of age today. The vast energy of such
a youthful nation is finding creative outlets in all fields – be it education,
business, entrepreneurship, defense, sports, governance etc.
This is the context in which we have to view education in our country.
There is an insatiable thirst for knowledge, skills and entrepreneurship
among the youth of India, as witnessed in the explosion of graduate and
post-graduate education, especially professional courses. Their needs
can be satisfied only by the quality educational institutions with
requisite standards in every respect. Delivering anything less will be
unjust and unfair to the aspirations of thousands of young hopefuls.
We are acutely conscious of our responsibilities in this regard and have
been striving to render quality education with values.
We have ensured that BGU students can find complete self-expression in
the university’s ambience. We are, thus, rendering every help to them to
make their dreams come true.
It gives me great pleasure to commend BGU to the youth of India !
