In exercise of the power under UP Jagadguru Rambhadracharya Handicapped University UP ordinance no. 15 of 2001 read with section 10 sub-clause 1, the Government of Uttar Pradesh is pleased to nominate Sri Raghveo Jagadguru Rambhadracharya Ji as life long Chancellor of this University on September 27, 2001.

The Honorable Chancellor of this University, Jagadguru Ramanandacharya Swami Rambhadracharya Ji, who himself is a blind person, came forward with missionary zeal to establish the University for persons with disability.

The Jagadguru Rambhadracharya Handicapped University was established to provide higher & professional education to persons with disabilities.
 There are approximately nine crores disabled in India. The coverage informal school system is around 5%. The scenario of higher education is much grim. The socio-economic condition and facilities available at higher education centers for persons with disabilities are considered a significant obstacle in accessing higher education. Though there are various institutions and organizations to cater to some of the needs of disabled persons, such institutions/organizations' activities were found to be very limited.
