In 1991, Government of India notified JVBI as Deemed-to-be University under Section 3 of University Grants Commission Act, 1956. The Institute continues to be housed in the common campus of its parent body organization Jain Vishva Bharati. Gurudev Shri Tulsi remained its first constitutional Anushasta (moral and spiritual guide) followed by Acharya Shri Mahaprajna as its second Anushasta. Acharya Mahashraman is its present Anushasta. The goal of the JVBI is has been clearly spelt out in the Preamble of its Constitution (Memorandum and Articles of Association) which reads as under: The Jain Vishva Bharati Institute is an endeavour in the direction of putting into practice, promote and propagate the high ideals of Anekant, Ahimsa, Tolerance and Peaceful Co-existence for the weal of the mankind. We, the members of the Jain Vishva Bharati, therefore resolve to constitute and establish the said University of Advanced Studies, Research & Training in Jainology in the context of comparative studies in Indology, World Religions, Ahimsa and World Peace. Even though the town (Ladnun) is located in an arid zone, the campus is full of greenery with parks, peacocks and gardens. It is like an oasis in the middle of the desert. The environment is free from noise and pollution. The spiritual ambiance of the campus provides a peaceful atmosphere of the traditional “Gurukul”, which is the ideal for studies and research.
