How it all started: Kaziranga University was founded in 2012 by the Khetan Industrial Group, Jorhat, and its foundation lies in the illustrious journey of Dr Murlidhar Khetan, Founder and Chancellor of Kaziranga University. Dr Murlidhar Khetan was born on November 10th, 1931, in the Sikar district of Rajasthan. He left his home in 1950 when he commenced his career in Jorhat, Assam as an accountant. He arrived at Assam with a thousand dreams, and his dreams awakened the entrepreneur and visionary in him. The year was 1959 when Dr Khetan began his entrepreneurial journey by leaving his job and setting up the High Tension Electrical Business. He later diversified his business ventures in the power sector. The core business values embedded in the core of his ventures reflect the vision and human values of Dr Khetan. He believed that education alone could sway societies and bring about equitable development in all segments of society. This firm conviction of his led to the establishment of the Assam Kaziranga University under the Assam Private University Act No. XII of 2007.
