The last half of the century has transformed our environment, perhaps radically, and brought more changes in our lives and thinking than in any corresponding period in history. These are the consequences of discoveries of sciences and applications of technology. The concept of absolute knowledge in the sense of storing all knowledge is perhaps no more relevant today. Our efforts for reconciling the traditional concepts and ways with the demands of technological age cannot provide simple solutions for our difficulties and complexities based on such stored knowledge.

Frontiers of knowledge are themselves expanding rapidly making in possible to device newer and more efficient methods of solving problems of the society. Education must therefore make efforts for securing knowledge and mastering modern skills and methods than merely storing and distributing the traditional ones. For this purpose of training of mind and mastering of skills and for harnessing science and technology to profitable and productive processes of economic growth and social well-being, the technological education system has to be continuously reviewed and adopted.

International outlook, democratic ideals and the potentialities of Sri. Rajiv Gandhi are the inspiring force behind this Institution. Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Technology was established in the year 2001 by Sir. M. Visvesvaraya Education Trust (R). We hope that this name shall be translated in solid, with our sincere work so as to help the posterity.
