The Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology (DA-IICT) in Gandhinagar signifies the fourth wave of educational innovation in Gujarat.
The initial wave was characterized by nationalist fervor and gave rise to educational experiments inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's Nai Talim principles. In 1920, Gujarat Vidyapith emerged as a pioneering institution, embodying a unique blend of Gandhian ideals in a university setting.
The second wave witnessed the proliferation of various educational institutions across Gujarat, particularly private colleges.
The third wave, marked by inspiration and vision, was championed by industrialist Kasturbhai Lalbhai and scientist Vikram Sarabhai. This wave led to the establishment of a network of nationally acclaimed institutes with global recognition. These institutes were steered by a cadre of exceptional intellectuals who provided visionary leadership.
