An enormously successful entrepreneur in Europe, Dr. Ashok K. Chauhan believed that Indians had the potential of being the best in the world. But for them to be successful, their talent had to be nurtured. Therefore, he took upon himself, the responsibility of bringing the best educators under one roof and creating a knowledge pool par excellence. His responsibility manifested itself in the form of Ritnand Balved Education Foundation (RBEF) which has since then nurtured various institutions under the Amity umbrella.

From what was a humble beginning. The Amity Universe has grown into a force to reckon with in the Indian education sector. Amity provides educational opportunities ranging from the requirement of school goers to that of budding professionals in diverse fields and all along the way we at Amity have accomplished many a first.
