The institute was established in 2000 and was managed by Sarvoday Kelavani Samaj, an educational trust inspired by Yogi Divine Society. The institution grew as part of the educational initiatives of the Atmiya Group, with a focus on science, technology, engineering and professional education. The broader Atmiya educational movement was inspired by H.D.H. Hariprasad Swamiji Maharaj, while P.P. Tyagvallabh Swamiji played a leading role in developing the educational institutions and later Atmiya University. The educational philosophy emphasises knowledge, technical competence, human values, character development and holistic growth.
