University of Patanjali stands as a beacon of traditional Indian wisdom blended seamlessly with modern academic disciplines. Established under Act No. 4/2006 of the Uttarakhand State Legislature and recognized under Section 2F of the UGC Act, 1956, this residential university is sponsored by the Patanjali Yogpeeth Trust and is a member of the Association of Indian Universities. Nestled in the tranquil foothills of the Himalayas in Haridwar, the university draws inspiration from the revered sage Maharshi Patanjali, the compiler of the Yoga Sutras.

Each day at the University of Patanjali begins with the harmonious chanting of "Aum," complemented by the daily practice of Yoga and sacred Yajnas, creating an environment rooted in holistic well-being. Guided by the visionary leadership of Yoga Rishi Swami Ramdev Ji and Ayurved Shiromani Acharya Balkrishna Ji, the institution offers a diverse range of academic programs in Yoga Science, Naturopathy, Sanskrit, Philosophy, Psychology, History, Physical Education, Music, Travel & Tourism Management, and Allied & Applied Sciences.

The teaching methodologies emphasize the integration of the ancient Guru-Shishya Parampara with modern pedagogical approaches, ensuring individualized attention and fostering overall development—intellectual, physical, and spiritual. A strong focus is placed on experiential learning, with practical applications in Yoga and Naturopathy being central to the curriculum.

The Patanjali Research Foundation, the university’s dedicated research wing, is acclaimed for its innovative studies in Ayurveda and Yoga. Strategic collaborations with national and international institutions provide students with unique opportunities for internships, research projects, and placements. Many graduates go on to pursue successful careers in respected organizations and entrepreneurial ventures within the Patanjali ecosystem.
