Sankalchand Patel University is a private university in Visnagar, Gujarat, established on 9 May 2016 through the Gujarat Private Universities amendment framework. The university grew from the educational work of Nootan Sarva Vidyalaya Kelavani Mandal, a trust founded by freedom fighter and social entrepreneur Sankalchand Patel. The trust's roots extend to the early 1950s and the development of Nootan High School, followed over decades by colleges and professional institutes serving North Gujarat. University status brought these activities together within an integrated higher-education structure. The campus at Sankalchand Patel Vidyadham spans about 84 acres and houses faculties covering medical, paramedical, technical, science, commerce and other disciplines. The university serves a large student community and combines teaching with research, innovation, entrepreneurship and professional training. Its academic ecosystem includes student startup support, incubation activity and patent-information resources, reflecting an emphasis on innovation beyond conventional classroom learning. The institution also maintains industry collaborations for training and placement. Sankalchand Patel University's identity is closely tied to the founder's cooperative and philanthropic philosophy, with education positioned as a tool for social and regional development in North Gujarat. The university's development represents the transformation of a long-running education trust into a multidisciplinary private university. The integrated Visnagar campus allows students in health sciences, engineering, science and commerce to share a common academic environment. Professional and research education extend from undergraduate study to postgraduate and doctoral levels. The university combines regional service with modern infrastructure and innovation support. Its legacy makes it one of the more historically rooted private-university systems in northern Gujarat. The integrated campus also creates opportunities for interdisciplinary interaction between health sciences, engineering, science and business students. University facilities include specialist laboratories, teaching hospitals or clinical resources associated with relevant health programmes, libraries and student services. The trust's regional presence connects the university with communities and employers across North Gujarat.
