of Baroda, Dr. Devanshu Patel turned his attention to establishing technical, business, social and medical institutions across Gujarat. His conviction was that the state had no shortage of capable young people, only a shortage of places where they could develop.
That conviction has held for three decades. From Ahmedabad Homoeopathic College in 1993 to a university with 20 faculties, campuses in four cities and students from more than 75 countries, the institution has grown around the same idea: that access to quality education is what turns talent into leadership.
