Sardar Patel University, named after one of the greatest and illustrious sons of India, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. This University in its fifty five years of existence has become a leading seat of higher education with several unique features. The University and the township of Vallabh Vidyanagar on which sprawls the University campus, have not been created by any executive order of the State, neither have they been created by one or few wealthy people. Indeed, this land of learning and the Seat of Higher Education - The University - has been created by a unique co-operative contribution of a large number of farmers of this rural area, who were inspired and enthused by the vision, dedication, and sacrifices of Sardar Patel, Shri Bhaikaka and Shri Bhikhabhai.

Sardar Patel University was established by an Act of the Legislative Assembly of the then Bombay Province in December 1955 and was recognised under 2f of the UGC Act in October 1968. The university has completed 56 golden years of a fruitful existence that has brought it to the forefront in terms of its academic excellence. No wonder, then, efforts have been made either to emulate its example or to replicate it elsewhere in Gujarat!
