Dr GViswanathan touching the lives of many by implementing Mahatma Gandhi's vision of value-based education and uplifting the underprivileged members of society
-
As India celebrates Mahatma Gandhi’s 155th birthday, it is fitting to highlight the contributions of Dr. G. Viswanathan, a visionary leader and founderchancellor of Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) University in Tamil Nadu. Born on December 8, 1938, in a remote Tamil Nadu village, Dr. Viswanathan’s journey embodies the essence of a Viksit Bharat, or developed India, through his relentless pursuit of educational excellence and societal upliftment.
Dr. Viswanathan’s educational odyssey began in his native Tamil, reflecting a deep connection to his roots. He excelled academically, earning degrees in Economics and Law from prestigious institutions like Loyola College and Madras Law College. His commitment to lifelong learning is exemplified by his participation in the Advanced Management Program at Harvard Business School in 2003, nearly four decades after his initial education.
