Dhirubhai Ambani IICT Gandhinagar

The Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology or DA-IICT is located at Gandhinagar, Gujarat. Gujarat has seen many waves of educational innovation and this technological institute stands testament to the fourth wave. The first wave was the nationalist wave which led to the various Gandhian experiments in education including the Nai Talim. One of the prime examples of a University based on the Gandhian principles was the Gujarat Vidyapith that was established in the year 1920.

When the second wave of educational innovation started, it led to the establishment of a new range of educational institutions in Gujarat, which mainly consisted ot private colleges. Though the second wave did not last long, it was the third wave that actually spearheaded the whole education. It was lead by the industrialist Kasturbhai Lalbhai and the scientist Vikram Sarabhai. This wave led to the formation of a huge network of national educational institutions; institutes which were renowned not only in India but internationally as well.

During the fourth wave, the main aim of the education society shifted to higher studies and participation of private organizations and individuals. The DA-IICT was one of the institutions which were created during this period. The institute was established in Gandhinagar in the year 2001. It is the only educational institution that is named after the Late Dhirubhai Ambani, who was the founder of the Reliance Group.

It was on 6th of March, 2003 that the Gujarat Legislature granted the DA-IICT the status of a University. It was also included as a private University in the list of Universities maintained by the University Grants Commission (UGC), on 30th November, 2004. It is a non-affiliating University and does not receive any aid or other financial assistance from the State or the Central Government.
