History

The institute was founded in Haldwani, in the Indian state of Uttarakhand, and was described as an autonomous engineering and technology institute aimed at providing education in management, computer science and hospitality at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Over the following two decades the group expanded its academic portfolio, adding programmes in engineering, management, computer applications, pharmacy, hospitality, education and sciences. It became known as Amrapali Institute – Lamachaur, reflecting its location, and later operated as the Amrapali Group of Institutes.
