• The location of the University in Motihari, Bihar does take us to the glorious historic year of 1917 when Mahatma Gandhi started his well-known SATYAGRAHA, the first ever anti-colonial struggle against the British. It is rightly said that Motihari made Mahatma Gandhi the BAPU, the premier MASS LEADER who henceforward revolutionized the whole India through miraculous mantras of Truth and Non-Violence. No wonder, MGCU is committed towards inculcating the spirit of SATYAGRAHA, TRUTH and NON-VIOLENCE among our learners towards rendering their invaluable services to the humanity.
