Thirty-one houses, thirty-one communities
Every hostel is named for an Indian river and run by resident wardens. Rooms are shared in the first year; single occupancy from the third onwards.
Campus life
850 acres. One life.
The residential campus is not a backdrop — it is the education. 31 hostels, an airfield, a hospital, a radio station and a farm, all in one perimeter. Nothing is bussed in.
01
850 acres
One residential campus on the Aravalli plain in Tonk district, Rajasthan — no city satellites.
02
31 hostels
Named after Indian rivers, each a self-contained community with its own dining, courtyard and study rooms.
03
1 km runway
Banasthali's own airfield — training aircraft, ground school, and a permit to teach powered flight.
04
250-bed hospital
Apaji Hospital, on the campus itself — teaching, research and 24×7 care for the residential community.
What's on the campus
A gurukul with a runway.
The Vidyapith owns everything a Panchmukhi timetable needs. That ownership is the reason the timetable is possible.
Learn to fly, for credit
Twelve trainer aircraft, an instrument-rated instructor corps and a one-kilometre runway. Aviation Management students earn a Private Pilot Licence as part of coursework.
Twenty-eight horses, one arena
The stables carry a mixed herd of Marwari and Kathiawari horses. Riding is on the timetable for Equestrian Studies diploma and open to all as an elective.
An AIR broadcast licence
Radio Banasthali is a licensed community broadcaster; media students produce daily programming — news, culture, women's affairs.
A 250-bed teaching hospital
Nursing, medical and psychology students train at Apaji. Campus residents receive routine care and the district a partner facility.
The dairy, the farm, the kitchens
The Vidyapith grows a share of its own food; Home Science and Agriculture students rotate weekly through farm, dairy and kitchens.
A day
How a Banasthali day is arranged.
05:45
Prabhat pheri
Morning drill and pranayama in every hostel courtyard — the day begins together, before any classroom does.
07:30
First academic block
Two lectures, then a short break for tea; second block runs to lunch.
13:15
Physical education
Every student takes PE every day — riding, athletics, swimming or yoga, rotated by term.
16:30
Practicum
Studio, laboratory, farm, hospital or radio — the practical hour, on the timetable.
19:00
Bhajan sabha
Student-led community singing in every hostel courtyard — the day ends together as well.
Safety
How the residential design works.
Fully residential
No day-scholar option means every student lives inside the gated campus — a small city of 17,000 women.
24×7 security
Perimeter and hostel-level security, all-women guard corps at the residential gates.
On-campus hospital
Apaji Hospital handles routine and emergency care without leaving campus.
Counselling centre
The Vidyapith runs its own counselling centre; sessions are free, confidential and always available.
For parents, a plain-language safety brief and hostel-visit protocol are on /parents.
