Maya Devi University (MDU), Dehradun, is redefining higher education in Uttarakhand by moving beyond traditional teaching methods. Focused on innovation and holistic growth, the institution is increasingly recognised as a rising global education hub, inspiring students across India.
Here, learning does not end with textbooks. Students are trained in technology, creativity, and social impact tools, preparing them as leaders for the 21st century.
With advanced labs, industry-aligned curriculum, and immersive academic experiences, MDU has become one of Dehradun’s fastest-rising universities.
A DIGITAL CATALYST FOR CHANGE
A notable initiative reflecting MDU’s forward-looking vision is the #DigitalCatalystProgramme 2025, launched with the Kalpavriksha Sustainable Development Society.
This fully residential, 10% free programme was designed for 100 high-achieving students from Uttarakhand Board, especially from rural and underprivileged backgrounds.
The programme offered hands-on training in Python programming, mobile app development, data analysis, AI tools, and leadership with social impact. Students also visited Dehradun’s Regional Science Centre for experiential learning and discovery.
One highlight was the ‘Dummy Shark Tank’ session, where students pitched tech-for-change ideas and received expert feedback.
Another was a high-impact workshop on ‘AI and Future Tools’ led by Dr Sachin Chaudhary (PhD – IIT Ropar, Scholar – NTU Singapore), where participants explored tools like ChatGPT, Canva, Suno AI, and Vo.dev.
