For long, Ujjain is known for its antiquity and its rich cultural and religious traditions. It also has been an ancient seat of learning. Therefore, after independence, a large number of personalities appealed to the Central Government to establish a university at Ujjain. It was their proposal to name the university after the famous ruler "Vikramaditya". When the state of Madhyabharat came into existence, Ujjain was selected for the proposed Vikram University. Vikram University was established in Ujjain on the 1st of March, 1957. The foundation stone of Vikram University was laid by the then Home Minister of India Shri Govind Vallabh Pant on Tuesday, the 23rd of October, 1956. Today, Vikram University is a popular choice for its various Undergraduate and postgraduate courses among students in the state.
