Swami has established a model education system, which includes primary and secondary schools and an accredited university, offering undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral degrees, with no fees for the students. It has been hailed as a crown jewel of the Indian education system by leading educators. In addition to academic excellence, Baba’s system of integral education is designed to foster character and self-discipline. Swami often asserts, “The end of education is character.”

The Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning was founded by Swami on Nov 22, 1981. An autonomous body, it has been recognized by the Ministry of Education, Government of India as a deemed University. Swami repeatedly says, Education is for life and not for making a living. Accordingly classroom work, hostel life and extra-curricular activities are designed to achieve a coherent development of the body, mind and soul of the student. The watchwords are : Duty, Discipline and Devotion. The focus is on purity and harmony of thought, work and deed. Bhagavan Baba has set the goal that when the students graduate from the institute, they should be fully imbibed with noble ideas, patriotic fervor, compassion for the downtrodden, a desire for selfless service and above all, a firm determination to uphold Sathya (truth) and Dharma (righteousness).
