Vidya Mandir (GVM), a non-governmental, non-profit-motive making registered society, was founded in 1950, on 1190 acres of land which is one of the harshest terrains in the country and was inhabited by people who were one of the most backward. The region was regularly ravaged by droughts and famines, heat and cold waves, epidemics and other calamities. GVM was founded by Late Shri Kanhaiyalal Dugar, who after embracing 'Sanya' (becoming Monk), came to be known as Swami Shri Ramsharanji. He was a man of vision and dedication, an embodiment of universal humanism. He dedicated his wealth and life to the cause of education and upliftment of the downtrodden. Inspired by Mahatma Gandhi, he becomes an exponent of non-violence and universal brotherhood. GVM was conceptualised as a rural university. The foundation stone of its University was laid by Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the first President of India, in 1955. GVM is a conglomerate of various public welfare activities, rural development and education institution, including IASE University. The path set out by the Founder:  Gandhi Vidya Mandir (GVM) signifies an educational establishment that sows the seed of Humanism into each human being. If I were to elaborate, 'Gandhi Vidya' would augment a lifestyle that is useful to all and benign to all; which could keep the human society held together despite diversity of views, environments and aptitudes, by an abiding bond of love; and that should, as well, be able to prevent degeneration of human society by providing equitable education of the highest order in different streams of knowledge. That would also foster rural upliftment, character building, creation of addiction-free society, self-purification, awareness for health and hygiene, “think no ill-do no ill” to anyone, and an urge to extend a helping hand in fulfilling the basic needs (of the society). I would call it 'Gandhi Vidya' and its veritable sanctum would be Mandir.
 The Services of GVM in the field of education were honoured though the conferment of 'PC Sen National Centennial A ward' by the then President of India, Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma; and 'Firoz Gandhi Saadgi Sammaan' by the First Gentleman of India Shri Devi Singh Patil and Governor, Bhishma Narayan Singh; 'Distinguished Education Institution Award' by Lok Shabha Deputy Speaker Shri Karia Munda, 'Mahavir award' by Vice President of India and number of other decorative.
The nature and scope of GVM's activities are extensive. There is a cluster of three social welfare programmes, aimed to serve the physically challenged, underprivileged and the aged. Apart from two primary and four senior secondary schools, GVM assisted 53 surrounding villages through centre of basic literacy for rural boys and girls in the same age group, in the last two decades. It ran 12 primary schools and 45 adult education centres in different villages, benefitting over 10,000 rural children and adults, including girls and women. In short, GVM's outreach programmes have been innovative and beneficial to the socially, financially and geographically-disadvantaged segments. In fact, GVM is the central organization around which a cluster of school, rural centres, out-reaches programmes, among other have flourished during last 65 years. GVM's higher education programmes started in 1953 through Basic Teacher's Training College, which is offering courses like S.TC, B.Ed., M.Ed, M.Phil, M.A. Education, and Ph.D. GVM is also running the programms of Panchkarma Yoga, Ayurveda with its Medical College. The 'Institute of Advanced Studies in Education', one the premier Institutes in the country today, came into being under the Government of India's Scheme of Education in 1993. It was formally declared as 'Deemed to be University' by the Government of India under Section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956 vide notification F.9-th 29/200-U.3 of 25 June 2002, and UGC and UGC notification F.625/2001 (CPP-I) of 17th July 2002. The IASE deemed University, is the core constituent of GVM, entrusted with the higher education portfolio, providing requisite autonomy and support. Its education facilities include a multi-facilities college for girls and co-education colleges in Education, Paramedical, Life Science, Management, Engineering and Humanities. There are separate hostels for boys and girls. Accommodating 1,300 students, AC rooms are also available on demand. GVM is supporting rural population of Churu district for their Economic, Educational, Vocational, Social development and health-hygiene. GVM is planning to establish a new University based on Human Values, Harmony and Peace near Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India. IASE Deemed University
The Institute of Advanced Studies in Education (IASE) has been sponsored by Gandhi Vidya Mandir. The Government of India has granted its official recognition as Deemed University in 2002.

GHA book “The ABC of Harmony for World Peace, Harmonious Civilization and Tetranet Thinking” published jointly by IASEDU and GHA and was released during the International Seminar on “Teacher Education for Peace and Harmony in Feb 2012. IASE Deemed University launched a unique mega research Project “Interdisciplinary Research Projects on Existential Harmony” beside the routine research in other fields. IASE has established Six Harmony Research Chairs in 2012, namely Philosophical Harmony, Religious Harmony, Harmony through Science & Technology, Social Harmony, Political Harmony and Media Harmony. The objectives of EH Projects are to: promote inter-disciplinary research activities, identify current challenges and problems, orient the global academic community towards Peace & Harmony studies, draft an outline of a universal curriculum for Peace & Harmony Education, develop teaching content for Peace & Harmony Education, to develop Political, Social, Economic Harmony Theories, create a network of Peace Researchers & Academicians, and establish an Institute of Global Harmony (IGH) at IASE. Academicians and international organizations across the globe are supporting the IGH established by IASE in its campus at Sardarshahar, Rajasthan. IASE DU has developed a hierarchical structure with 5- levels to select, monitor and review the projects. At the university level it has a 3- member coordination committee and an 18- member Central Coordination Committee (CCC) comprising 7 University Deans, 6 heads of Harmony Chairs and 5 prominent experts, followed by a 40-member Central Advisory Board of academician of international repute. Each Harmony Chair has an Advisory Board of 10-20 members and a Research Committee of 7-10 members.

IASE Deemed University is doing various scientific research projects with Dr. Leo Semashko, President, Global Harmony Association and his international team creating Global peace Science. Future Plans of GVM and IASEWisdom Based Sustainable HabitatIt has been realized for many years that there is something missing from the canvas of human lifestyle, which is the root of all human problems and evils in the society. Erratic use of energy, the disharmony between development and healthy life style, the ill recognition of human needs and uncontrolled extortion of nature through science and technology has become treat to the existence of our earth. Apart from these maniacal tendencies of profit, consumption and sex have ruined human relations and values. Gandhi Vidya Mandir intends to establish a 'Wisdom Based Sustainable Habitat' where a group of human beings live like one family till they achieve right understanding. They would be able to live in harmony with nature and other human beings with the understanding of natural laws in a self reliant way. This habitat would be designed as a centre of study, research and harmonious living to create a peaceful world. Institute of Global HarmonyIASE deemed University held an International Seminar on Teacher Education for Peace and Harmony, Delhi and a Workshop was also organized at Sardarshahar on Feb 2012 It also discuss the “The ABC of Harmony for World Peace” with the idea to develop an Institute of world Harmony (p.106) 30 experts from 12 countries along with 100 scholars and experts from India presented their papers and more than 600 people participated in the seminar. one of the most important recommendations of the seminar was to establish an Institute of Global Harmony. The scholars asked Gandhi Vidya Mandir to consider taking this work as it was most suitable for the same due to its background. Humbly the Institute accepted this responsibility and plans are afoot to start this work immediately and civil construction of the first phase is complete. World Resource Centre for Peace and Harmony EducationEveryone acknowledges that values cannot be taught by people who do not live them. Thus a need for a World Resource Centre for Peace and Harmony which prepares people who are living models of human values. These resource people would fulfil the need of different institutions across the world. Gandhi Vidya Mandir intends to establish such a centre at the appropriate location in the country where training, teaching, study, research and realization of right understanding would be given to learners. The institution is also looking at collaborating with other institutes for this work.
