Ashoka University is a private research university located in National Capital Region (India), providing a liberal education in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. It was founded in 2014 and is based on the model of collective philanthropy, with 200+ founders across various industries. [2][3]

History

Founder Pramath Raj Sinha at the convocation ceremony of Ashoka University

The institution was named after the Mauryan emperor Ashoka.[4] It was conceived as an idea after Sanjeev Bikhchandani and Ashish Dhawan approached Pramath Raj Sinha, a former dean of the Indian School of Business, for his assistance in setting up the university. The project was code-named Project Nobel,[5] referring to the founders' aspiration to produce future Nobel Prize laureates.[6]

Initial discussions aimed to set up an institute of engineering and technology that could match the reputation of leading institutions in the field. Ashoka's founders signed a memorandum of understanding with the University of Pennsylvania School of Engineering and Applied Science. The founders' list named 22 people, including Ashok Trivedi, Dilip Shanghvi, Nirmal Jain, Sanjeev Bikhchandani and Jerry Rao.[7][4] The list later grew to 46.[citation needed]

Ashoka later expanded its focus to provide education in the liberal arts, combining instruction in the natural sciences, social sciences, and the humanities.[8][9] Trivedi fortified this decision by setting up the Trivedi Centre for Political Data (TCPD) in partnership with the University of Michigan.[10] In 2020, Ashoka University established the Trivedi School of Biosciences with virologist Shahid Jameel as the first director of the centre.[11]

Campus

Campus view of Ashoka University

Ashoka University's 25-acre (10 ha) main campus is in the Rajiv Gandhi Education City in Sonipat, Haryana. It was designed by the American architecture firm Perkins Eastman.[12] In September 2021, the foundation stone was laid for a new 27-acre campus in Sonipat, expected to be operational by 2027, which will double the university's student capacity.[13]

Governance

Ashoka University is funded entirely by donations, with no hierarchies present in the founding group in terms of decision-making.[14] In addition to the chancellor, vice-chancellor and deans, Ashoka is guided by an academic council of academics and scholars. The council sets the university's academic standard, advising on matters of curriculum, faculty hiring, and research.[15]

The first chancellor was Andre Beteille, who served from 2014.[16] The first vice-chancellor was Rudrangshu Mukherjee.[17] In 2017 Beteille resigned, to be replaced by Mukherjee, and Pratap Bhanu Mehta was appointed vice-chancellor from July 2017.[18] Mehta resigned in July 2019 and was replaced by Malabika Sarkar.[19] Sarkar stepped down on 1 January 2023 and was replaced by Somak Raychaudhury.[20]

The programme provides students with immersive science and mathematics courses, practical life skills lessons, sustained and regular support from mentors and exclusive access to prestigious internship opportunities.[29]

Chief Minister's Good Governance Associates (CMGGA) programme

The CMGGA programme is a collaboration between the Government of Haryana and Ashoka University.[30] The associates are trained, after which they are posted in each of the 22 districts of Haryana for 12 months. During their tenure, they represent the Chief Minister's Office and work closely with the Deputy Commissioner and district officials to drive changes at the highest and grassroots levels of the Government.[31]

Admissions

The undergraduate admission procedure includes an application form, an on-spot essay, an interview, and an aptitude objective test named Ashoka Aptitude Test. It also accepts the SAT, one of the first universities in India to do so. [32] Ashoka University is a Founding Member institution of the India Global Higher Education Alliance, which addresses how admissions policies among Indian and non-Indian institutions influence access and equity in higher education.[33]

Controversies

In October 2016, a faculty member, Rajendran Narayanan, and two other employees resigned; it was alleged by the Faculty Council that they were asked to resign because they signed a petition on Kashmir, something the university denies.[91] Narayanan believes he was targeted because he was also organising a Workers' Welfare Committee for all campus staff.[92]

In March 2021, two faculty members, Pratap Bhanu Mehta (formerly the VC of the university) and Arvind Subramanian, resigned within days of each other, alleging a curbing of academic freedom in the university.[93] Mehta has been an open advocate of liberalism, speaking openly about the 'Death of liberalism' under the Narendra Modi Government.[94] He resigned from Ashoka University in March 2021, when trustees Pramath Raj Sinha and Ashish Dhawan are said to have told him that his "intellectual interventions were something they could no longer protect."[95] This was followed by protests from students and faculty, who alleged that Mehta's views on the Modi administration might have drawn pressure internally, leading him to resign.[96] But the Vice Chancellor denied that.[93]

Sabyasachi Das Paper Controversy (2023)

In August 2023, Assistant Professor Sabyasachi Das of the university's Economics Department resigned following the university's decision to formally announce that it was distancing itself from a controversial paper by Das. His resignation was accepted after making extensive efforts to dissuade him.[97]

Ashoka University's Vice Chancellor, Somak Raychaudhury, was cited by The Times of India stating that the research by Professor Das was perceived as reflecting the university's official stance. Raychaudhury clarified that the paper had not undergone a complete critical review process and had not been published in any accredited academic journal.[98] As reported by The Free Press Journal, the VC elucidated that Ashoka University grants its faculty members the autonomy to engage in teaching and research within their fields of interest. It was pointed out that while the university does not directly oversee or moderate the research pursuits of its faculty and students, this ethos of academic freedom was extended to Professor Das as well. The Vice Chancellor underscored that Ashoka University's rise in less than a decade is attributed to its unwavering dedication to both research and pedagogical excellence.[99] [100]

Following his resignation, his colleague in the Economics Department, Professor Pulapre Balakrishnan, also resigned. The Economics Department and the Political Science Department came out with formal statements expressing their support for Das. These departments demanded that Das be reinstated.[101]

According to a report from NDTV, Professor Balakrishnan conveyed in a letter addressed to Ashoka University's Chancellor, Rudrangshu Mukherjee, and the chairperson of the Board of Trustees, Pramath Raj Sinha, that the university had never imposed any form of constraint on his classroom discussions, media writings, or public advocacy for rights. He further explained that his resignation was prompted by what he perceived as a significant lapse in judgment in the handling of the attention garnered by the controversial paper on social media. Professor Balakrishnan highlighted his experience of unbridled intellectual freedom during his eight-year tenure at the university, where he openly expressed his opinions in class, participated in street demonstrations, and contributed to media discussions without encountering any restrictions. He pointed out that Ashoka University had generously funded his latest book project, obviating the need for formal proposals or meetings. He disclosed that the publisher promptly approved the project upon its proposal and that the resultant study, a comprehensive examination of the nation's economic history, was a culmination of his professional journey, including a candid analysis of the present scenario. In the letter, Professor Balakrishnan conveyed his gratitude for the opportunities that the University provided to him. As a gesture of appreciation, he even offered his personal collection of books to augment the university's library.[102]

The Departments of English and Creative Writing called for Das' reinstatement.[103] The Department of Sociology and Anthropology also expressed solidarity with Das.[104]
