== History ==
===Sahitya Sadawart Samiti===
[[File:Building1SGVU.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]
Sahitya Sadawart which literally translates to unfettered and all-pervasive dissemination of knowledge is the umbrella organization under whose aegis multiple schools, colleges, research centers and a University have taken shape. Sahitya Sadawart was established in the year 1938, by Shri Kamlakar ‘Kamal’ and a young Acharya Shri Purushottam ‘Uttam’. Gyanvihar, which commenced its journey as an experiment to redefine school education in Jaipur has now culminated into Gyanvihar Universe, Suresh Gyanvihar University and Gyanvihar School being the more recognized names. Gyan Vihar School came into existence in the year 1994. The foundation stone of Gyan Vihar was laid on 19 February 1994 by Acharya Purushottam and [[Sudhanshu Sharma#Life|Shri Suresh Sharma]]. {{citation needed|date=May 2021}}
