}}Shiv Nadar University (or SNU) is a private interdisciplinary research university founded in 2011 in Dadri, Uttar Pradesh in India. It was founded as part of a series of initiatives launched by the Shiv Nadar Foundation, a private philanthropic foundation funded by Shiv Nadar, founder and chairman of HCL.[1][2][3]

The University's stated aim is "to create an enduring, research-led, inter-disciplinary university.".[4] The University was established by the Act no. 12 of 2011 of State Legislature of Uttar Pradesh as a State Private University, and was empowered by the UGC to award degrees under Section 22 of the UGC Act, 1956. The University started the Engineering Majors in the Academic Year 2011-12 with the approval of the AICTE. The University is currently registered with DSIR, Government of India as a Research Institution.

History

In 1994, Nadar established Shiv Nadar Foundation (SNF) and created its first initiative in Chennai, the SSN Institutions. The Foundation was a significant driver of social change and education through institutions spanning the education spectrum from schools to colleges.{{CN|date=March 2017}} The SNF decided to build a unique research-led interdisciplinary university that can be identified as India's first Ivy League institution.{{CN|date=March 2017}} In the early 2010s a 286-acre land plot near the town of Dadri was earmarked for building the campus. The university started with an undergraduate curriculum that was unique and unprecedented in India. The curriculum was designed to allow students to major in a particular subject while also studying and experimenting with a range of other minor and elective subjects and getting degrees with minors/ specialisations.

Prof. Rupamanjari Ghosh is the current Vice Chancellor of Shiv Nadar University. She took charge as the VC in February 2016.[5] She was preceded by the University's Founding Vice Chancellor Dr. Nikhil Sinha, who served the University for almost 5 years.

Shiv Nadar University (SNU) announced the discovery of a compound that can reverse environmental mercury (a heavy metal) poisoning by converting it from a highly toxic, volatile and soluble organic form (as a pollutant) into a comparatively safe, inert and stable form that renders it harmless and insoluble. What is equally noteworthy is that the process of converting organic mercury pollutants from a toxic, soluble state to an insoluble, non-toxic state takes a few minutes to hours depending upon the various forms of organic mercury pollutants.[14]
