Chanakya University
Chanakya University aims to be a centre of learning and excellence of global renown. It aims to grow like a great tree of knowledge and action, out of the seed of a grand, nation-building idea — the idea that students must enter the world stage not merely with degrees in hand, but with a deep appreciation for timeless Indian values, and the confidence of transformative leaders. A multi-disciplinary institution inspired by Indian civilizational wisdom, Chanakya University offers new-age programmes in keeping with the National Education Policy 2020. It is our mission to instil in every student the reciprocative values of the Indian praxis of teaching-learning. The University, located near the Bengaluru International Airport, is a part of the Aerospace Industrial Zone, which houses multinational corporations such as Rolls Royce, and Boeing. In a manner of speaking, our students only have to look out of their classroom windows to picture truly challenging, rewearing futures for themselves. The comprehensive learning experience at Chanakya University is curated to include projects, internships, and interactions with industry leaders. The faculty at Chanakya University is comprised of renowned industry and academic leaders working in tandem with accomplished academicians and educationists, with Dr. M.K.Sridhar, our Founder-Chancellor, and Dr. Yashvantha Dongre, our first Vice-Chancellor, at the helm.
