Charotar University of Science and Technology (CHARUSAT) has been established by
inclusion in the Schedule vide Section 3(1) of Gujarat Private University Act 2009 (Gujarat Act
No.8 of 2009) which came into force on 24th July 2009, through Government of Gujarat’s
Notification No. GH/SH/24/GPU-2009-321-Kh(1). It is empowered to confer degrees under
Section 22 of UGC Act 1956.
CHARUSAT has been conceived by Shri Charotar Moti Sattavis Patidar Kelavani Mandal to put
India on global education map by making Charotar – the Land of Sardar Patel the Global
Education Hub. Kelavani Mandal, established in 1994, is a not for profit premier trust of India
that works with the mission of social service through education. It has social lineage of more than
118 years from its parent organization Shri Charotar Moti Sattavis Leuva Patidar Samaj–
Matrusanstha – known for its dynamic social revolution brought about by initiating Mass
Marriages on a massive scale.
Formation of Kelavani Mandal through Matrusanstha, which ultimately led to the
establishment of CHARUSAT, was illuminated under the leadership of two former Presidents –
Late Shri Chhotabhai Bhikhabhai Patel and Late Dr. K C Patel. Late Shri Chhotabhai
Bhikhabhai Patel, an illustrious businessman and social leader based in Mumbai and founder
President of Kelavani Mandal, always insisted on Global Standards. Late Dr. K C Patel, a
renowned nuclear scientist and a prominent educationist of Gujarat, who succeeded Shri
Chhotabhai Bhikhabhai Patel, dreamt of a university at Education Campus, Changa.
CHARUSAT began its journey as a single Institute in the year 2000 at Education Campus –
Changa. It grew into a conglomerate of Institutes which was transformed into a University in
July 2009. The name Charotar University of Science and Technology was conceived to pay
tribute to the region – Charotar (the golden land) where it has originated. The shadow structure
with Academic Council, Board of Studies, Curricula, Syllabi was ready before hand. In the
transition phase and ingraining phase, President – Shri Surendra Patel and Secretary – Dr. M C
Patel – of Kelavani Mandal provided (honorary) services as the President and the Provost of
CHARUSAT respectively.
