Surajmal University is a state private university in Kichha, Udham Singh Nagar district, Uttarakhand, established through the Surajmal University Act, 2021. The university is sponsored by the Surajmal Agarwal Laxmidevi Sawarthia Educational Trust, which had already developed a group of education and healthcare institutions in the Kichha region. Those predecessor institutions include colleges in engineering and management, nursing, paramedical and health sciences, degree education, polytechnic studies and women's higher education. The university therefore represents a consolidation and expansion of an existing regional education network rather than a completely new institutional venture. Its academic portfolio includes agriculture and food technology, pharmacy, nursing, commerce, management, engineering, computing, sciences and other professional areas. Surajmal University's stated educational philosophy emphasizes practical learning, innovation, entrepreneurship, problem solving and social responsibility. The institution promotes inquiry-based and project-based learning alongside conventional classroom teaching. Facilities include laboratories, digital library resources, classrooms, student services and infrastructure inherited or developed within the trust's educational campus. The Kichha location serves students from Udham Singh Nagar, the Kumaon region and neighboring areas of Uttar Pradesh. The surrounding district's agriculture, manufacturing and healthcare needs create a useful context for applied education in several of the university's disciplines. The university's governance includes representation from the state higher-education system, academics, industry and the sponsoring body. Its sponsor traces the idea of a university to a long-standing regional development vision focused on education and social upliftment. Surajmal University continues expanding programs and partnerships while drawing on the experience of the trust's earlier colleges. Its current university framework dates from 2021, while academic programs, research activity, student services and institutional partnerships continue to evolve. The Kichha setting also shapes the professional, cultural and community networks available around the university. The institution's development reflects a continuing effort to combine degree education with research, practical learning and student development.
