BHAGAT PHOOL SINGH MAHILA VISHWAVIDYALAYA KHANPUR KALAN (SONIPAT), HARYANA-131305 (A STATE UNIVERSITY ESTABLISHED BY AN ACT OF HARYANA LEGISLATURE & RECOGNISED BY UGC UNDER SECTIONS 2 (f) & 12 B OF UGC ACT) PROSPECTUS 2011-12 www.bpswomenuniversity.ac.in A RESPECTFUL TRIBUTE Born on February 24, 1885 in Mahra village of Sonipat district, Shri Bhagat Phool Singh ji was a visionary noble soul. Notwithstanding vehement opposition, he was determined to promote womens education, especially in rural Haryana. Bhagat Phool Singh ji's firm belief in empowerment and emancipation of women through education led him to establish a Gurukul with just 03 girls at Khanpur Kalan in 1936. The anti social elements did not support Bhagat Phool Singh ji's seminal idea of women's education and assassinated Bhagat Phool Singh ji him on August 14, 1942. (1885-1942) Bhagat Phool Singhji's assassination could not diminish his idea of women's education. His legacy and philosophy was continued by his dynamic daughter Padam Shri Subhashini ji. True to his father, Subhashini ji was determined to promote social reform through women's education. The Government of India recognized her service to the society and conferred on her Padam Shri in 1976. She established various present day constituent Institutes of BPSMV through donation and Smt.

Section -I THE UNIVERSITY The Genesis… Bhagat Phool Singh Mahila Vishwavidyalaya is the manifestation of the dream seen by the legendary, saintly figure Bhagat Phool Singh ji, who established a Gurukul, exclusively for girls at Khanpur Kalan in 1936. Notwithstanding the vehement opposition to Bhagat Phool Singhji's endeavor to educate girls, Gurukul Khanpur Kalan turned out to be a 'Mecca' for girls' education. Barring few non progressive sections of society, everybody including the eminent personalities like Sir Chhotu Ram of those times helped in evolving Gurukul Khanpur Kalan into a centre of excellence for girls' education. Owing to his extraordinary interest in Women education Shri Bhupinder Singh Hooda, the Honorable Chief Minister of Haryana, upgraded the erstwhile Gurukul to the status of a University exclusively for women in August 2006 and christened it as Bhagat Phool Singh Mahila Vishwavidyalaya, (hereafter referred as BPSMV) , the first Women University of North India. Since its inception in August 2006, Bhagat Phool Singh Mahila Vishwavidyalaya has travelled a cherishable journey. Starting with the bare minimum requirements, BPSMV has undergone a complete transformation. The 75 years old Gurukul started with only three girls has turned into a modern university with approximately 6800 girls on its rolls while juxtaposing tradition with modernity. Bhagat Phool Singh Mahila Vishwavidyalaya is spread over lush green, pollution free 500 acres of land. There are two teaching blocks housing various teaching departments of the university, an administrative block, a multipurpose hall and the School of Engineering and Sciences. There are several constituent colleges viz. BPS Memorial Girls' College, BPS College of Education, Department of Laws, MSM Institute of Ayurveda and Institute of Polytechnic. Also there are two Schools; one is a traditional ‘Gurukul' offering Hindi medium and the other is the Campus School affiliated to C.B.S.E, New Delhi offering English medium.
