About MGM University
“In a gentle way, you can shake the world.” With this philosophy and ideology of Mahatma Gandhi, MGM established an educational trust in 1982 under the guidance of former Education Minister Shri Kamalkishore Kadam and a group of founder members who are hard-core academicians and visionaries. The Trust established its pioneering institute in the historical city of Aurangabad, home to the heritage sites of Ajanta & Ellora but lacking in premiere educational institutes. For more than four decades, Mahatma Gandhi Mission has blazed a trail of academic excellence and state-of-the-art health care services. A strong dynamic institution that keeps pace with the demands of the modern world, prominent locations and excellent education facilities makes MGM worthwhile and an exciting choice for education. This institution is devoted to extensively impart education and enable the students to stand on their own, strongly believing that “Literary education is of no value if it is not able to build up a sound character.”
With the vision for imparting quality education MGM initiated a chain of institutes with a spectrum ranging from primary schools to post graduate degrees. MGM has been instrumental in promoting Classical Dance & Music, Art, Culture, Heritage and creativity for art seekers. The Trust has also paid heed to the aspect of physical fitness by converting a vast expanse of land into an ultra-modern facility catering to a multitude of sports. MGM’s lush green and serene campus is conducive to create a peaceful learning atmosphere.
It has acquired the reputation of being one of the premiere educational & health services charitable trust in India. In all, during this journey Mahatma Gandhi Mission has established its mark over 6 campuses having over 70 colleges, Institutions and Centers of Engineering, Architecture, Medical, Nursing, Management, Computer Science, IT, Biotechnology, Liberal Arts, Science, Commerce, Fine Arts, Performing Arts, Fashion Design, Mass Communication & Journalism, Film Arts and Photography.
The MGM Trust continues its journey of imparting value based services and creating global technocrats with its self – financed private “MGM University” launched at Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra with the approval of Government of Maharashtra and passing of MGM University Act 2019 by Maharashtra Legislative Assembly and Legislative Council.

Dean's Message
Prof. Dr. Monika Aggrawal
Dean, Director Faculty of Design
Welcome to the Leonardo Da Vinci School of Design Mahatma Gandhi Mission University. We invite Design Aspirants to find their career path and forge their own experience. Explore academics at LSOD break free from traditional models to bring experiential learning to life. Undergraduate and Postgraduate programmes at our university are developing perspectives in a range of creative fields. Our dynamic faculty and staff at university drive innovation through rigorous research and a flexible curriculum. Our global philosophy and networks open new pathways to success.
All programs at LSOD truly empower our students from pursuing an innovative degree program. Tap into faculty-led research that boldly crosses disciplines and pushes the boundaries of creativity, communication, and innovation through research, scholarship, and creative practice.
There is no one way to experience Leonardo Da Vinci School of Design, but the best way to start is by visiting us. Experience to work with some of the most exciting thinkers and practitioners. We invite you to the Design community and join the most exciting and creative society that is making the future. It is common to measure our careers by asking: How much have we contributed to our communities, to our societies, and ultimately to our planet? As designers and professionals we are called to preserve heritage. But our call is deeper and layered: to do such work while caring for people, especially the most vulnerable and historically underserved, understanding the preciousness of natural resources, and transforming the way we inhabit the planet. We also take action: design, build, collaborate with communities, work across schools and departments at MGM University, dive deep in both speculation and technical expertise, all to address real and urgent problems. As we strive for excellence and innovation, I am proud to lead a community of students and colleagues dedicated to positively impacting society. I look forward to seeing more of our students soar and take on new challenges. It is an opportunity for us to celebrate our collective achievements and recognise the hard work of our students and faculty.
"We are the school of design committed to address sustainability of art and design, the existential challenge of our times."
