The Central University of Gujarat in Gandhinagar is set to change its university logo. The logo, which will be changed for the third time since the inception of the varsity in 2009, will 'represent' Gujarat and the university, the authorities said. The Academic Council approved the new logo on Friday. Om Prakash Pandey, a council member, said that the decision to change it was taken because the current logo had no representation of the varsity or Gujarat. The new logo, which is yet to be approved by the Executive Council, has been inspired from 'Om', a conch and Gir cow head that represent women power, Dwarkadheesh and Gujarat respectively, Pandey said. He added that the logo will also have a state map embedded. The earlier transitions the university went through were in 2013 and 2014. Amid objections to the use of Ashoka Chakra in the logo approved by the Executive Council in 2010, it was changed in 2013. A year later, this was partially modified into the current logo to include the name of the university in Hindi and English.. The university was established by parliament in 2009 through the Central Universities Act, as per its website.
