The Banaras Hindu University is the first truly residential Indian University established in 1916 on the pattern of the universities at Nalanda and Taxila, where thousands of students used to be taught and lodged and supplied with food and raiment. The objectives of this great University have been visualized by the founder as follows: (i) To promote the study of the Hindu Shastras and of Sanskrit literature generally as a means of preserving and popularizing for the benefit of the Hindus in particular and of the world at large in general, the best thought and culture of the Hindus, and all that was good and great in the ancient civilization of India; (ii) To promote learning and research generally in arts and science in all branches; (iii) To advance and diffuse such scientific, technical and professional knowledge, combined with the necessary practical training as is best calculated to help in promoting indigenous industries and in developing the material resources of the country; and (iv) To promote the building up of character in the youth by making religion and ethics an integral part of education
