Shri Khushal Das University

What Shri Khushal Das University does

Shri Khushal Das University (SKDU) is a state private university established in 2018 by an Act of the Government of Rajasthan and sponsored by the Shri Guru Gobind Singh Charitable Trust. It operates from a 150-acre main campus in Hanumangarh district, Rajasthan, with a corporate office in Noida. The university offers 100+ UGC-approved programs across 13 faculties — Agriculture Sciences, Arts & Humanities, Ayurveda/Naturopathy/Yogic Sciences, Basic & Applied Sciences, Commerce & Management, Education & Special Education, Engineering & Technology, Law, Nursing, Paramedical & Allied Health Sciences, Pharmacy, and Physical Education/Sports/Yoga — serving approximately 9,000+ students with 600+ faculty members. It is recognized by UGC, NCTE, RCI, PCI, BCI, and AIU, and runs Ph.D. programs across 29 disciplines with 20+ research centres.

The university's core technology footprint is a digital infrastructure layer comprising an ERP portal (erp.skduniversity.com), an online examination results portal (mis.skduniversity.com), and a dedicated International Student Services portal — all built on standard institutional SaaS patterns rather than proprietary technology. The NEP 2020-aligned multidisciplinary curriculum and on-campus facilities — including the Vagbhatt Ayurvedic Wellness Hospital, live agricultural research farms, and a 12-sport sports complex — form the operational backbone. The university maintains 30+ MoUs spanning agriculture universities (Punjab Agriculture University, SKRAU), industry chambers (ASSOCHAM), testing platforms (Pearson VUE, INFLIBNET, DELNET), healthcare partners for clinical training, and international collaborators (National Tsing Hua University Taiwan, Modibbo Adama University Nigeria).

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring tuition and academic fees across undergraduate, postgraduate, doctoral, diploma, and certificate programs, with additional income from hostel accommodation and examination services. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via an admissions helpline, online application portal, counseling process, and dedicated International Student Cell. Ancillary revenue and brand reach are supplemented by wholly-owned operating subsidiaries — including a Sainik School, a special-needs school (Vishesh Siksha Vidyalaya), a Citrus Farm, a Vagbhata Wellness Center, and a Bee Project — and by large-scale community events such as Krishi Mahotsav, which in 2025 attracted over 1.92 lakh farmers and generated Rs. 19.6 crores in transactional sales.
