The UGC committee which recommended the conferment of University status on the institution kept the following points in mind;
(i) Vidyapith's definite and viable programme for restructuring courses at the undergraduate level and its eagerness to carry out various measures to make education more meaningful and practical,
(ii) Availability of opportunities to the students to develop their personalities, and
(iii) Vidyapith's initiative to inculcate spiritual and moral values in the students through various activities, emphasizing character-building and simplicity. With its autonomous status, the institute could now experiment, innovate and formulate its own curriculum and other activities.

VISION & MISSION
Banasthali Vidyapith has been conceptualized to materialize the ethos of nation-building and India Culture. Banasthali's whole architecture stands upon the twin foundation pillars of Nationalism and Indian Culture. Since its inception, Banasthali Vidyapith has had a clear perspective about its educational efforts and has possessed a vivid picture of the form and pattern of educational programme to be adopted.
The architects of the Vidyapith believed that an educational programme should be able to promote the development of a balanced and harmonious personality of the students. Hence, the educational programme of the Vidyapith was distinct from the form of education prevalent at that time which emphasized book learning to utter neglect of all other aspects of education. Banasthali Vidyapith's aim of a full and balanced development of student's personality got concrete expression in the form of "Panchmukhi Shiksha" which evolved out of initial experimentation.
Panchmukhi Shiksha attempst a balance of the five aspects of education, namely Physical, Practica, Aesthetic, Moral and Intellectual and aims at all round harmonious development of personality.
Synthesis of spiritual values and scientific achievements of the East and the West is a key feature of the Vidyapiths's educational programme. Simple living, self-reliance and Khadi wearing are hallmarks of life at Banasthali.
