Program

The Rishihood University Foundation Program (RUFP) is designed to empower first-year undergraduate learners with a strong, future-ready foundation. Students invariably confine themselves to career based tunnel vision, which limits their potential to explore greater opportunities. RUFP breaks this mold by providing a dynamic, multidisciplinary learning experience that nurtures both specialists and generalists, helping students find their true calling.

Learners

Who learn how to learn continuously

Concepts.
Ideas.
Thoughts.
Frameworks.

Education is an ongoing pursuit aimed at learning concepts, ideas, thoughts, frameworks that not only are relevant and necessary for the job market but also enable one to excel in life. The goal of higher education is not limited to the first job that the learner acquires after graduating. It is to prepare them to excel in their lives and blossom to their full potential. The world of education itself stands disrupted with a need to create newer models of learning that allow individuals to move from static to dynamic, from rote learning to experiential learning, from classroom-based evaluations to project based outcomes and preparing the learners for the world of the future and for Life.

Future of education is crafting learners who learn how to learn continuously. This future demands an individual who is driven by the following tenets-

Jigyasa

one who is a lifelong learner

Chikirsha

one who has a bias towards action

Ananda

one who has is joyous
