September 27, 2010, one of the most remarkable days in the history of Texila – the day on which Texila American University (TAU) was registered in Guyana!!!
TAU started in a small way in Guyana lead by the Vision and Mission of its Founder Mr. Saju Bhaskar and Co Founder Mrs. Chithra Saju and executed in Guyana by then Manager - International Operations Mr. Ashok Kumar. TAU opened its doors in Guyana, for its first batch of seven (7) students in May 2011. The Year 2015 marks a special milestone in the history of Texila in Guyana as it celebrates the 5th Anniversary of the founding of the University. Celebrations are ongoing under the theme “CELEBRATING 5TH YEAR OF EXCELLENCE & SERVICE IN HEALTHCARE EDUCATION”. This landmark gives TAU the opportunity to look back at all that have been achieved together and to look forward to building on the institution’s success.
To mark this momentous occasion, the University launched a week-long series of programmes and activities beginning with the launch of their special 5th anniversary logo at all campus sites. Other activities included community health outreach, sharing of mementos and sweets, recognition of staff for their productiveness and services and a health walk and rally. Staff, students, the local community and fellow universities were all part of the celebrations.
In 5 short years, TAU has been into the list of best Caribbean Medical Schools and has made a remarkable impact on the region and the globe through the delivery of excellence and service in healthcare education, research and innovation. With students from 38+ different countries, the University is recognized as an institution that is making its mark not only in Guyana but also in a Global stage. Over the years, the University has worked hard as an institution to deliver the outcomes of past achievements. An important focus has been to life performance in the world university ranking systems in the face of fierce international competition. TAU is noted for its original academic activity that creates a positive impact through rigorous scholarship, creative pursuit and outward engagement.
