English: The Venkateshwara Group of Institutions (VGI) is an attempt by outstanding educationist Dr Sudhir Giri to bring quality education to the reach of the rural populace.

The real India lives in villages where people strive to improve their life by educating their wards in the best possible manner.

With its burgeoning population, many students cannot get admission in aided institutions because of the limited number of seats.

This puts them at a disadvantage because many cannot afford the costly fees charged by private colleges.

This distressing scenario prompted philanthropist Dr Sudhir Giri to launch the Venkateshwara Group of Institutions in 1998 so that the deserving get educated in affordable fees.

The Group further ventured into the field of Computer Education & Business management courses at the end of 20th century so that qualified manpower is available to this growing industry.

Soon after that, VGI made a foray into teacher training by opening Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) colleges to improve the quality of teachers in the state of Uttar Pradesh.

The Venkateshwara Group of Institutions offers the maximum number of B.Ed. seats and is one of the most reputed B.Ed. colleges in UP.

Technical education is the backbone of any country as it fosters discovery vital for economic growth. Himself an engineer Dr Sudhir Giri Chairman VGI understands the hardships rural youth face in becoming engineer because of the spiking cost of education.

This prompted him to establish an engineering college called the Venkateshwara Institute of Technology in 2007, which offers affordable education to meritorious students with a passion for learning.

Ever since then, the Institute has ventured into Pharmaceuticals, polytechnic, Physical education, Library science, medicine and management to name a few.

The Group’s endeavor is to impart affordable education to meritorious students through a series of scholarships offered through the Jan Kalyan Department.

At present, the group comprises 20 prestigious higher educational institutions, including two State Private universities in India and Abroad, two Medical colleges, and various schools.

The Group is having over 2000 regular and visiting faculty members, and 50,000+ students from all parts of India.

The number of students has been increasing day by day with a vision to increase the literacy rate throughout India.

One exemplary achievement is establishing the Venkateshwara Institute of Medical Sciences (VIMS) the flagship medical college & hospital of the group.

VIMS has been extending quality medical care services to the people so that the needy & underprivileged are not left behind in the country’s growth story.

Located on NH -58, the Delhi Roorkee bypass, VGI is well connected with rail and road, allowing students to reach the campus with ease.

The infrastructure at VGI is impeccable, with a state of the arts labs & workshops that instill practical skills to the students.

We have hired the faculty members from IIT, NIT and reputed institutions so that they impart skills vital for the career progression of the students.

Apart from this, our campus comprises libraries, gymnasium, and round-the-clock power back up that ensures students can focus on their studies for realizing their careers.

Our endeavor is to offer quality education to socially and economically underprivileged candidates, and the attractive schemes that we sponsor for girl students are part of our belief that educated women are the strongest foundation of any society country.
