Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning - SSSIHL

Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning (SSSIHL), is a unique institution that is a pioneer in providing Educare - a system of education that blends secular knowledge with spiritual knowledge. It is a visible manifestation of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba's vision of education for human transformation. Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning was founded to inculcate ethical and moral values in students. These ethics and morals form the undercurrent of every subject taught at the university. Here, the development of a student’s character is just as important as imparting knowledge. This holistic development of students can only be possible in an environment that encourages the development of the student’s mind, body and spirit. To facilitate this, the university has a compulsory residential policy for all students. The environment is similar to the ancient Indian gurukula system of education, in a modern context. Teachers and students live and grow together in an atmosphere of mutual trust and unity. Most students typically spend between two to five years pursuing an education at SSSIHL. As a result, what differentiates them from graduates of other universities is the transformation of their hearts, not just the training of their minds.
