MAHARISHI DAYANAND UNIVERSITY
Maharshi
Dayanand University, ab initio established as Rohtak University, Rohtak,
came into existence by an Act No. 25 of 1975 of the Haryana Legislative
Assembly in 1976 with the objective to promote inter-disciplinary
higher education and research in the fields of environmental, ecological
and life sciences. It was rechristened as Maharshi Dayanand University
