The legacy of the Chiranjiv Charitable Trust in the realm of higher education goes back to 1989, when the foundation of the Sushant School of Art and Architecture was laid by Mr. Sushil Sushant, to address the gap in Indian architectural education. The School was conceived with the objective of combining traditional Indian aesthetics and modes of urban planning with the needs of a modern cityscape. As the School made a mark in the field of architectural education under the guiding force of late Fellow of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, Padma Shri MM Rana, the Trust further expanded to establish Sushant Institute of Technology in the year 2000 that received international recognition in the field of research, extension and global collaborations. The Sushant School of Design was instituted a decade later and in 2012 the ‘Sushant Group of Institutions’ came under the Sushant University, established through the legislation of the State of Haryana under Haryana Private Universities Act 2006.In 2020 the name of the University was changed to Sushant University.
The various schools under the University, located in a sprawling campus in the heart of Gurgaon, have carved a niche by offering the required educational programs and providing the best faculty and facilities to promote academic excellence.
