Overview
Krishnaguru Adhyatmik Visvavidyalaya (KAV) is a private university in Assam, located at Nasatra, Barpeta district. It was established in 2017 under the Krishnaguru Adhyatmik Visvavidyalaya Act, 2017 (Assam Act XXVI of 2017). The university developed from the educational and social initiatives of Krishnaguru Siksha Parishad, whose institutional activities date back to the 1970s.
