Maharishi college of natural law was established in the 1982 with a substantial donation given by Maharishi Institute of creative Intelligence (MICI), One of the Organization of Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, in whose name this institution has been christened. At that time it was a great pride for the people of Orissa that this college was one of the 1001 educational institutions opened all over the world by His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, where besides regular curriculum, the teaching in meditation and Science of creative intelligence was imparted by the trained teachers coming from Rishikesh Ashram.
In the beginning, it imparted instruction only for boys in Arts, Science and commerce in Intermediate course, in a rented house with only 384 students and 17 Teaching staffs. After six months, the college was shifted and started functioning in its own multistoried building located in a sprawling four acres of land at Sahid Nagar in the heart of the Capital City, Bhubaneswar.

Though the college is in its growing stage, it has made much headway over the tears and it is striving hard to emerge as one of the prestigious institutions in the state. The present growth and vigour has been possible due to the donations contributed by the poorest of the poor and the rich ones of the capital city, Bhubaneswar, the generous and eminent persons, and above all the students of the college from time to time.
Let us all work together to carry on the mission of His Holinass Maharishi Mahesh Yogi to make it to grow further to a still higher level with almost sincerity and truth in the name of the Almighty God.
