The geographical jurisdiction of the Hemchandracharya North Gujarat University - HNGU Patan encompasses four districts-Mehsana, Patan, Banaskantha and Sabarkantha. Each one of the four district has its own distinct heritage. Geographically a part of the whole area is towards the desert of Kutchh, while on the North Eastern side are rocky regions of forest populated by the tribal. The economy of the area is mainly agricultural. There are a few towns here and no big city. The rest of the population lives in villages. With a view to catering to the peculiar cultural and educational needs of the area, Hemchandracharya North Gujarat University - HNGU Patan was established by the Ordinance No. 5 of 1986 dated 17.5.1986 which was later passed as the Hemchandracharya North Gujarat University - HNGU Patan Act No.22 of 1986 on 11/9/86 by the Legislative Assembly of Gujarat.

For centuries it had been the capital city of a large kingdom extending far beyond the bounds of present day Gujarat, under the Solanki rulers and a very important seat of Jain scholarship. It is the holy land of Hemchandracharya a great thinker who made valuable contribution to the studies in grammar, literature, religion and philosophy. The RANI-VAV, a great architectural and sculptural monument of yester years, the lakes of Shahastralinga and Khansarovar, the Jain temples of Panchasara and a few other remains in and around the place testify to the glory that was Patan, in not so distant past.
Hemchandracharya North Gujarat University - HNGU Patan was carved out of Gujarat University whose Headquarter is at Ahmedabad. On bifurcation, the Hemchandracharya North Gujarat University - HNGU Patan inherited no physical assets from its parent University. It had, therefore, to start its existence ab-initio so far as its local habitation was concerned. PATAN, a historical town in northern part of Gujarat, was officially designated as the Head-Quarter town of the University. The town happens to have composite campus of four affiliated colleges. The managing council of the colleges was kind enough to put at the disposal of the infant University its two hostel buildings on rent to accommodate its offices. Thus began the Hemchandracharya North Gujarat University - HNGU Patan to operate and serve 41 colleges scattered over the three erstwhile districts of Banaskantha, Mehsana and Sabarkantha allotted in its jurisdiction. Along with the two hostel buildings the University rented a hall, called the Gandhi Memorial hall, to house its library.
