NEW DELHI: In India’s evolving governance landscape, Acharya Devvrat stands out as a rare blend of moral authority and administrative clarity. Currently serving as the Governor of Gujarat, he has earned recognition as a steady and principled constitutional figure.
Born in 1959 in Haryana, Devvrat’s intellectual journey is deeply rooted in the ideals of the Arya Samaj. A distinguished academic with Master’s degrees in Hindi and History and a Ph.D. in Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences, he spent over three decades transforming Gurukul Kurukshetra into a modern institution grounded in traditional values.
Beyond governance, he has emerged as a key advocate of natural farming, or Prakrutik Krushi. Promoting chemical-free agriculture, he has encouraged large-scale adoption among farmers in Gujarat while personally practicing these methods.
As Chancellor of Gujarat Vidyapith, founded by Mahatma Gandhi, Acharya Devvrat continues to embody a rare ‘scholar-statesman’ model. His work reflects a clear vision – integrating sustainability, tradition, and governance to strengthen India’s future.
