By Prof. Pramod Kumar Verma, Vice-Chancellor
Balancing technical knowledge with mental clarity and emotional strength is essential for students pursuing IT careers. While advanced IT education equips them with coding, software, and networking expertise, integrating Vedic wisdom and Transcendental Meditation fosters focus, creativity, and resilience.
This combination helps learners manage stress, think innovatively, and adapt to challenges with confidence. Such a holistic approach ensures students are both industry-ready and personally grounded. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Vedic Vishwavidyalaya in Madhya Pradesh uniquely champions this transformative blend in its BCA program.
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Vedic Vishwavidyalaya (MMYVV) is a distinctive institution that seamlessly blends modern education with India’s timeless Vedic wisdom. Founded in 1995 under a special act of the Government of Madhya Pradesh and recognized by the University Grants Commission (UGC) since 2011, it reflects the vision of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the global proponent of Transcendental Meditation (TM).
Established at Brahmastan, India’s spiritual center, this university integrates spiritual wisdom with contemporary science. Under Chancellor Brahmachari Girish Varma Ji, a close disciple of Maharishi, the university nurtures value-driven leaders through holistic education, high-quality academic programs, and a focus on personal and societal transformation.
The Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA) at MMYVV is one of its most sought-after programs, meeting the rising demand for professionals in programming, networking, database management, and web development. With a comprehensive, updated curriculum, the program combines theoretical knowledge with skill-oriented training and hands-on experience in modern technologies.
Students benefit from guest lectures, workshops, and industry interactions, which help ensure their career readiness. What makes it unique is its holistic approach, integrating Transcendental Meditation to enhance focus, reduce stress, and support both professional success and personal well-being.

Faculty members also undergo continuous professional development, including training in meditation and exposure to the latest academic and industrial trends. Their dual role, as subject experts and guides in holistic living, ensures students receive all-around mentorship.
World-Class Infrastructure
Infrastructure plays a central role in shaping modern education, and MMYVV has invested in creating facilities that inspire learning and holistic development. The campus is equipped with smart classrooms featuring interactive boards and digital learning tools, along with automated libraries that combine modern academic resources and ancient Vedic texts.
“Our students benefit from well-equipped laboratories, gymnasiums, playgrounds, and hostels thoughtfully designed as per Vastu principles to support both comfort and positive energy.
Holistic wellness is also prioritized through meditation centers and health services, while our commitment to sustainability is reflected in green initiatives such as solar lighting and water harvesting”, says Prof Pramod Kumar Verma, Vice- Chancellor, MMYVV.
Beyond infrastructure, MMYVV extends strong financial and academic support to students. Recognizing socio-economic diversity, the university provides free scholarships, concessions, and government scholarships to ensure access to education for all. Nearly 15 percent of students receive full support covering tuition, hostel, and food.
Alongside, the university regularly organizes workshops and seminars, with each department hosting multiple events annually. Industrial visits to hubs in Jabalpur, Katni, and beyond, as well as exposure to government service portals and railways, prepare students for real-world applications and careers.

The university has launched the Academy of Vedic Sports, a pioneering initiative that integrates physical fitness with Vedic traditions.
