INTRODUCTION (Naac Third Cycle)<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Kannada University is established through the Kannada University Act, 1991. The primary objective of the University is to conduct multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research on various aspects of Karnataka and Kannada. In terms of language, jurisdiction, programs and definition of knowledge, it is a unique University.<\/p>\n

The Univer\"\"sity\u2019s uniqueness is captured perfectly by the observations of the first NAAC team when it made the following observations: \u201cThe objectives were clearly spelt out in Chapter II of the Kannada University Act. We quote only some of them in order to remind ourselves that this University is a special kind of institution, and stands far apart from a conventional university. We as a Peer Team, face a peculiar kind of dilemma when we come to assess and accredit such a monolingual, regionally focused and research-oriented University. The component of teaching- learning transaction is much less here compared to other conventional universities.\u201d<\/p>\n

The notes of the second NAAC peer-team that assessed the institution substantiates the above observations of the first peer-team further when it noted that \u201cKannada University is located in rural area and is a monolingual unitary research University which has jurisdiction in the entire state of Karnataka. Though primarily meant to be a research based university in Kannada language and literature it has broadened its activities adopting some socially relevant programs through faculty of social sciences\u201d.
