VICE-CHANCELLOR’S MESSAGE Central University of Karnataka (CUK) is a young institution. During its short span it made its mark in the field of higher education in the country with its commitment to academic excellence and quality research and publications. For the past one decade, the University strived its best to translate its vision and mission in letter and spirit and achieved a significant growth in academic pursuits, in the creation of infrastructure and in the creation of an intellectual ambiance and thereby taking the University onto the national canvas. The commitment of faculty members, the devotion of students, the dedication of non-teaching staff and other stakeholders have made this singularly significant achievement possible. Central University of Karnataka is situated in a geographically remote but culturally diverse place, ‘Kalaburagi’. Historically, it is the land of intellectuals and revolutionary leaders. This inspires us to retain the spirit of the land and makes the University a cradle of knowledge with potential of a global institution covering the fields of Humanities, Arts, Commerce, Management and, Science and Technology. At CUK, special emphasis is put on knowledge assimilation, dissemination, creation and social outreach. The University takes appropriate initiatives to address the water scarcity and sustainable energy issues through smart solutions like rain water harvesting, solar power generation and efficient resource management. Today, the campus is on its way to become a self-sustained habitat. At present, there are twenty-six departments under thirteen schools. The University has recently established Departments of Public Administration, Folkloristics and Tribal Studies, Foreign Languages Studies, Journalism and Mass Communication and Music and Fine arts to offer avenues of critical, liberal and career-oriented learning to prospective students. Our special emphasis is on modelling our existing and new programmes of study on the lines of multidisciplinary and skill-based approach enunciated in the New National Education Policy, 2020. The University will also strive to incorporate mechanisms of exit and re-entry options into its academic programmes in the ensuring year. I am happy that the CUK is part of CUCET, 2021 consortium for admissions in various programmes for the ensuing academic year. In the era of fast-paced knowledge society, the University endeavours to create skilled, effective and socially committed human beings. We expect that all the aspirants and stakeholders contribute to this vision and I welcome them to this vibrant place of learning to become part of knowledge creation with a spirit of social service. I sincerely wish students and academic fraternity happy and meaningful moments at CUK. Prof.Battu Satyanarayana 5 - CUK PROSPECTUS 2021-2022 2.

ABOUT KALABURAGI AND KALYANA KARNATAKA REGION The Central University of Karnataka is situated in the Kalaburagi district in Kalyana Karnataka Region. The region has the oldest ancestral history of 1.2 million years, Isampur being the earliest stone tool making industry during the Palaeolithic period (Stone Age). There has been a consistent occupation (during Palaeolithic, Mesolithic, Neolithic and Iron Age) of the region across the rivers of Bhima, Krishna and Tungabhadra for hunter-gatherers and pastoralists & early agricultural communities until recently 2000 years ago. Maski, Watgal, Budihal, Sangankallu-Kupgal, Piklihal, Hirebenekal etc., are few archaeologically well-studied sites. We find an exciting concentration of Ashoka rock edict sites, such as Sannati, Maski, Gavimath, Udegolam, Nittur and Brahmagiri, indicating the Mauryas in South India and the spread of ‘Dhamma’ during the 3rd century BCE. Reminiscence of Stupas in Sannati and Kanaganahalli on the bank of river Bhima,
