Located in the southeastern part of Himachal Pradesh, Sirmour district is largely mountainous and rural, with 90 percent of its population living in villages. Agriculture is the backbone of rural masses here and farmers of Sirmour grow potato, garlic, peas, tomato, ginger and tons of fruits every year. However, the people of Sirmour were deprived of quality higher education until Eternal University established in 2009, under the aegis of Kalgidhar Trust with the visionary idea of Baba Iqbal Singh Ji, M.Sc. (Agriculture) and Ex-Director Agriculture, Himachal Pradesh. “Our aim is to provide value based education for creating universal brotherhood and world peace. We also work for the upliftment of this region through education, health, agriculture and conservation of environment,” says Dr. H. S. Dhaliwal, Vice Chancellor, Eternal University. Since its inception, the university has made remarkable growth in academics, infrastructure development and providing knowhow to the predominantly rural people of Sirmour district. The colleges of Engineering & Technology, Agriculture, Basic Sciences, Health and Allied Sciences, Divine Music and Humanities, Economics, Management and Commerce are its pillars. “Highly competent faculty, quality teaching, research and extension are our backbone. The founder Vice Chancellor, Dr. Manmohan Singh Atwal along with 74 faculty members and 30 visiting professors gave us a strong foundation and commitment,” claims Dr. Dhaliwal.
