The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda (Template:Lang-gu; MSU) is a university in the city of Vadodara, in Gujarat state, India. Originally known as the Baroda College of Science (established 1881), it became a university in 1949 after the independence of the country. It was later renamed after its benefactor Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad III, the former ruler of Baroda State belonging the royal Gaekwad dynasty of the Marathas.

History

Statue of Sayajirao Gaekwad III in the University campus.

The university has its origins in the Baroda College established in 1881 by Baroda State. The main building which houses the faculty of Arts was designed by Robert Fellowes Chisholm (1840–1915) in Indo-Saracenic architecture style, in a fusion of Indian and Byzantine arches and domes in brick and polychromed stone. The main dome on the convocation hall was modeled after the great dome of the Gol Gumbaz in Bijapur.

Pratap Singh Gaekwad of Baroda (1908–1968) (the last Maharaja of the erstwhile Baroda State) founded the university in 1949 on the wishes of his grandfather, Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad III (1863–1939), and settled the "Sir Sayajirao Diamond Jubilee and Memorial Trust" which exists to date, catering to the education and other needs of the people of the former Baroda State.[2] It has its origins in the Baroda College of Science established in 1881.

The full-blown lotus growing out of the lake symbolizes the emergence of mind and its triumph over matter. The flame rising from the centre of the lotus is the flame of human knowledge, spreading light and learning for the coming generations. The motto inscribed below defines the purpose and existence of life, which is love of beauty, goodness and intellectual curiosity.

Song

After hearing the university songs of the western universities, renowned theater personality Prof. C. C. Mehta (from then College of Indian music, Dance & Dramatics of the Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda) proposed Smt. Hansa Mehta (the then vice chancellor) to write the Maharaja Sayajirao University’s own song, which she approved later on. The song was composed by Prof. C. C. Mehta and the lyrics are in Gujarati, but it is traditionally written in the Devanagari script, as per the customs of the Baroda State.

अमे वडोदराना विद्यापीठनां सपना सारवनारा

अमे ज्योत जलावी सृष्टि नवली सहसा सर्जनहारा

अमे गगनकुसुम कर धरनारा

अमे मगन मगन थई फरनारा

अगनबाथ अमे भरनारा

अमे दैन्यतिमिर ने हरनारा

श्री सयाजी विद्यापीठना ज्ञानदीपने धरनारा

सत्यं शिवं सुन्दरम् नो मंत्र अनंतर भणनारा
