Progress can only be achieved by the spread of education. Co-operation is necessary to achieve any worthy end, and this

readiness to co-operate will not be found in people if they are not educated.”

“True knowledge is not attained by thinking. It is what you are; it is what you become.” - Sri Aurobindo



Preserving the past and moving towards the future… (Get familiar with Faculty of Arts) * Dr. Darshini Dadawala & Ms. Dhruti Trivedi

The Genesis of the Institution The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda has blossomed from the Baroda College which is one of the oldest centres of learning in western India. MSU is the only state University with a residential, unitary character having English as sole medium of instruction. It comprises of 13 Faculties having 90 Departments, 3 constituent colleges and several specialized centres and institutes offering wide spectrum of courses from kindergarten to Ph.D. The Faculty of Arts, one of the best Faculties of the University, owes its genesis to the Baroda College. The idea of establishing a Separate University for Baroda was mooted first as early as 1927 by H. H. Sir Sayajirao Gaekwad III himself. The University came into existence on April 30, 1949, at the time of the merger of the Baroda State with the State of Bombay. Necessary changes were incorporated into the constitution of the Baroda College with a view to establishing separate Faculties in the University. Thus, the Baroda College, one of the oldest Centres of learning in Western India, came to be known as The Faculty of Arts under the Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda.

The Architectural and Cultural magnificence of the Faculty Among the 13 Faculties of the Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, Faculty of Arts is a premier institution of teaching and research in Humanities and Social Sciences. This Faculty has a privilege of teaching Languages and Literatures of India and other Countries of the world. The enriching heritage of the city of Vadodara, the cultural capital of Gujarat, is personified in the magnificence, creativity, culture, and education of the Faculty of Arts, located at the heart of it. Besides establishing itself as an esteemed Faculty with a reputation that had filtered through to foreign lands, the Faculty of Arts is housed in Baroda College (1881) building which was constructed by Robert Fellowes Chisholm (1840–1915) in Indo-Saracenic architecture style with E shape. It is a fusion of Indian and Byzantine arches and domes in brick and polychrome stone. The main dome located above the Premanand Hall (Central Hall) is the second largest dome of Asia; which was modeled after the great dome of the Gol Gumbaz of Bijapur. The structure of the Faculty is rendered unique by the carvings, the floral arabesques, and the gargoyles adorning its exteriors as well as its interiors. Faculty of Arts has preserved the artifacts of tradition and culture in two museums at Department of Archaeology & Ancient History which has collection from Harappan Culture & Gautam Buddha’s relics obtained from excavation by the archaeologists of the University. The Faculty has preserved the rarest Manuscripts of the medieval period which is a potential area of research.
