Prof. (Dr.) Navin Sheth
Vice chancellor, GTU It is my great pleasure to welcome you all at Gujarat Technological University.

The VISION of University is "To make Gujarat Technological University a World Class University"shall be achieved through training, proper guidance, hard work and discipline. I.want you to know that the entire University staff, faculties is here to support, sustain, and encourage you to achieve our VISION.
Swami Vivekananda used to say, "We want that education by which character is formed strength of mind is increased, the intellect is expanded and by which one can stand on one's own feet." GTU is working on this philosophy and I request all faculty members to prepare students to develop capabilities to solve real life problems with the education that they have received in the classroom, workshops, laboratory and in the Industry. The real technical education is the one that helps common person to live their life hurdle free. New academic term has begun and students will occupy empty benches of the classes. I hope all faculty members are ready with their new Plan of Action for the upcoming semester. GTU has been doing many such activities for the betterment of common people through the experiments carried out by students during their project work. GTU Innovation council is the most preferred place for students and I invite all the students to take maximum benefits of GTU innovation council activities.
Many 'foreign Universities recognize GTU's Internationalization efforts. Recently GTU has received a grant under Erasmus+ Program of European Union (EU) from Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Poland. Let me take this opportunity to share that GTU is going to start different PGcourses under Graduate School of Engineering and Technology, Graduate School of Pharmacy and Graduate School of Management Studies from this academic year.
As now you are part of Gujarat Technological University, I want to wish you all a very bright healthy and prosperous future.
