Dr. Nayeemuddin Ahmed^1*

Abstract

Mahamana Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya envisioned education as the cornerstone of India’s progress, with science and technology serving as essential drivers of national development. His establishment of Banaras Hindu University (BHU) in 1916 reflected his commitment to integrating traditional Indian knowledge systems with modern scientific disciplines. This paper explores Malaviya’s vision for science and technology, its alignment with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, and the institutional frameworks at BHU that continue to foster innovation, creativity, and research.
