About SAAR

SAAR (Showcase of Action, Achievement and Reflection) makes its debut this Founder’s Day as BML Munjal University’s tribute to legacy, leadership, and learning—celebrating the life and vision of Padma Bhushan Awardee Late Dr. B.M.L. Munjal.

The BMU community, spanning UG and PG students, doctoral scholars, start-ups, and faculty, comes together on a single platform to spotlight ideas, innovations, and initiatives that create impact across research, entrepreneurship, civic life, and social change.

More than a showcase, SAAR is a confluence of voices and visions. It connects students and scholars with alumni, donors, industry leaders, and thought partners, while honouring Dr. Munjal’s enduring values and inspiring future pathways of excellence.

Hosted on BMU’s 50-acre green campus in Gurugram, the inaugural SAAR sets the tone for a tradition that reflects the University’s interdisciplinary, industry-linked, and socially responsible ethos, offering an inspiring glimpse into how BMU is shaping leaders of impact for tomorrow.
