Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya (September 25, 1916-February 11, 1968) was a great thinker of the Indian tradition. To commemorate his national contributions, Gorakhpur University was renamed Deendayal Upadhyaya Gorakhpur University, the first university in the country.
Deendayal Upadhyaya, the flag bearer of India-centric ideology, was a penetrator of global philosophy. His integral human philosophy dedicated to humanity is acceptable to all. He believed that Integral Human Philosophy would give freedom to each nation to develop according to its nature & tendency. Just as every individual works according to their merits & deeds & offers the entire fruit of development to society, in the same way, every nation will consider itself a part of humanity. Therefore, establishing a research chair at Deendayal Upadhyaya Gorakhpur University on this ideological establishment has been considered very important. Deendayal Upadhyaya Research Chair was established in continuation of the letter of Uttar Pradesh Government 68/2017/1809/Sattar-4-2017-11 15/2017 dated December 1, 2017.
