Shoolini University of Biotechnology and Management Sciences, Solan was established in 2009 under the auspices of the Foundation for Life Sciences and Business Management with the aim of working in areas of higher education and research, and helping set up entrepreneurial ventures in biotechnology and related fields.

Shoolini University is a young, research-focussed, philanthropic university - This dynamic and innovation-led centre of learning has made giant strides. It has consistently been ranked among India’s top 100 universities (NIRF), is one of India’s highest generators of patents and innovation, and matches the world’s best universities in research output. 

A not-for-profit multi-disciplinary private university, Shoolini has a unique research and innovation-led model. We believe that a great university drives cutting-edge knowledge and innovation while working for the social and economic upliftment of the community at the same time. It is this belief – along with our internationally qualified faculty, our focus on careers and placements for students, our continuous innovation in pedagogy and our highly motivated students – that makes Shoolini University a progressive and dynamic university in the global knowledge economy.

We pride ourselves in laying emphasis on the development of the creative potential of every student, providing them high-quality educational opportunities, which in turn will determine the future of our country and take India to greatness.

The Foundation, with the support of visionary educationists, scientists, administrators who are on either its executive and advisory boards or a part of the faculty, has very successfully set up the Shoolini Institute of Life Sciences and Business Management (SILB).

The institute is affiliated to Himachal Pradesh University, Shimla. The Foundation is committed to UGC regulations (2003) for private universities and will also follow the guidelines of different regulatory bodies (AICTE, PCI, ICMR, ICAR, CSIR, etc).

MISSION

Shoolini University’s Mission is to be a Role Model for Private University Education in India. We believe our success will make other Private Universities follow our path and make quality university education more accessible.

World-class Education: It is our mission to provide world-class yet affordable education to the masses of India, especially the lesser-privileged students from small towns and villages. To fulfill this mission, we have built deep operating and capital efficiencies at affordable fees, have built an endowment fund for scholarships to the lesser privileged, and have brought innovation, skill-based learning and technology into our pedagogy. Our mission is to produce students who are highly motivated, good human beings, technically sound, skilled and employable, and also nation builders. 

Honest, Clean and Compliant: It is our endeavour to be honest in everything we do. As a not-for-profit university, we operate with the highest standards of governance and the belief that great institutions of the future will be built on the Gandhian traits of honesty and integrity.

Community impact through Research and Innovation: We believe that universities should have a deep impact on the community through research and innovation. Globally, this is proven model with communities such as the Silicon Valley, supported by institutions such as Stanford and UC-Berkeley. Our researchers work closely with our local community on several critical issues such as cancer, water, food and technology to help change the lives of people in our community.

Happiness: We aspire to provide happiness and spirituality to all our stakeholders – students, faculty, staff and others. We operate like a family, trying to bring happiness into the lives of everyone we touch. Our belief is simple – happy people are successful and contribute towards nation building.
