The Somaiya Vidyavihar campus comprises 34 individual institutes dedicated in the streams of arts, sciences, management, engineering, medicine, humanities, philosophies and social sciences. The campus is spread across 2 main campuses – a 65 acre complex in Vidyavihar, in north central area of Mumbai and an adjoining 35 acre complex in Sion, both in the heart of Mumbai besides a number of other smaller campuses across rural Maharashtra and Karnataka. Somaiya Vidyavihar also runs a few autonomous post-graduate courses, vocational training courses and high schools within its campus as well as in rural India.
Somaiya Vidyavihar is presided over by Justice P.N. Bhagwati, former Chief Justice of India. Shri Samir Somaiya, a Cornell University and Harvard alumnus is the President. Both provide invaluable direction to all the educational institutes within the campus.
It was the vision of Shri K.J. Somaiya that modern professional education must remain true to the spirit of Indian ethos and culture. He insisted on value-based education, believing firmly that a community uncaring for its traditions is decadent and insubstantial. He was passionate about propagating the Sanskrit language and the promotion of studies in ancient Indian thought and culture. He envisaged Somaiya Vidyavihar as the modern-day Nalanda University where students and teachers would live in an intellectual and spiritual fellowship.
