With their perfect blend of rich culture, modern infrastructure, and forward-thinking policies, both cities are attracting students, educators, and investors from across the country.
1. Strong Educational Ecosystem
Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar host some of India’s most reputed institutions such as ”IIM Ahmedabad”, ”Nirma University’‘, Gujarat National Law University (GNLU)’‘, and ”Pandit Deendayal Energy University (PDEU)”. These institutions set high academic standards and have inspired the growth of several quality schools, colleges, and training centers around them.
2. Government Support and Policy Push
The Gujarat government has actively promoted education through initiatives like ”Gujarat Knowledge Society” and ”Education City in Gandhinagar”, providing land, incentives, and infrastructure support to educational entrepreneurs. This proactive approach makes it easier to establish new schools and colleges with world-class facilities.
