Last year, Anant set a ground-breaking precedent by introducing ADEPT in five languages. Inspired by the philosophy of Mr Ajay Piramal, President, Anant National University, “design goes beyond language,” the initiative aimed to break barriers and open doors for students across India. The success was evident as the B.Des Class of 2028 became the largest in the University’s history, bringing together 478 students from 4 nationalities, 30 Indian states and 283 cities.

Building on this achievement, Anant is taking a significant step forward by offering ADEPT in 10 languages this year. This expansion reflects Anant’s vision to foster a diverse and inclusive learning environment where students can pursue their passions and contribute meaningfully to society through design.

Dr. Anunaya Chaubey, Provost, Anant National University, emphasised, “Our mission is to create an inclusive academic environment where talent thrives beyond linguistic boundaries. By expanding ADEPT to 10 languages, we are empowering aspiring designers from varied backgrounds, enabling them to bring their unique perspectives and ideas to the forefront of design innovation.”

With this initiative, the University continues to set new benchmarks in design education, nurturing a new generation of impact-driven designers ready to address global challenges.

Anant National University has also been recently awarded the prestigious ‘5-Star Rating’ in the category of Architecture and a ‘4-Star Rating’ in the University category in Gujarat State Institutional Rating Framework (GSIRF) 2023-24. This recognition reinforces our commitment to creating a world-class institution of great eminence and excellence.
