Support BML Munjal University

BML Munjal University (BMU) was started with an aspiration to transform Indian higher education and to prepare future ethical leaders who would become change makers in India and the world.

It is a not-for-profit university that aims to provide quality higher education to brilliant young minds irrespective of their socio-economic background. Many of our students are first-generation university students who not only need financial help to pursue their higher studies, but also need emotional support for their overall development.

Dr. Brijmohan Lall Munjal believed, “[w]e must give back to the society from whose resources we generate wealth.” University as an educational institution develops its own ecosystem that requires support from all the sections of industries. By supporting BMU, you will support the next generation of changemakers and leaders, the innovative research, and sustainable learning environment.

We are seeking support of like-minded value centric organizations like yours to build the university which is envisioned for the community at large and will help in nation building for the future.

Some Heartwarming Stories of Students Receiving Financial Aid under BMU CAREs:

BMU aspires to develop an entrepreneurial ecosystem and help the community to nurture entrepreneurship. Keeping with the same entrepreneurial spirit, we have launched a programme ‘Mera Business’. The purpose of this programme is to train 1,000 rural women entrepreneurs in 1,000 days, to help them start or expand their businesses.

We would like to invite you to become part of their journey and support them. A successful woman entrepreneur will uplift the community along with her. So, you would be supporting not only one business but an entire commune, by funding ‘Mera Business’ cohorts.
