Historical Perspective-
Swami Rama Himalayan University was established in February 2013. Its birth was an effectuation of the dream of revered Indian Yogi, H.H. Swami Rama, who conceptualized the framework for the people of Uttarakhand wherein ‘education’ and ‘health’ were easily accessible and attainable by the meritorious.
SRHU today stands as a means to the realization of that dream! Himalayan Institute Hospital Trust (HIHT), backed by the legacy of Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences (HIMS), promotes the University, which is the first private medical college of the state.
SRHU is strategically located about 25 kilometers southeast of Dehradun city, in close vicinity of Jolly Grant Airport, in the northern Indian state, Uttarakhand.
