Department of Kannada Language and Translation Studies

The Department was established in 2005, November and the Department has one professor and three assistant professors at present. The Department is offering P.G, M.Phil and Ph.D. programmes. In the beginning the Department had Integrated Ph.D. programme (M.Phil-Ph.D.). In the newly planned academic program the University has dispensed with the Integrated Programme because the need for difference in the quality of the academic tests as well as another aspect like drops out rate after M.Phil. At present we offer M.Phil and Ph.D. as two different programmes.

First and foremost the Kannada Language and Translation Studies wants to achieve excellence both in teaching and research. This is what other Kannada Departments in other Universities want to do. However, the uniqueness of this university is to be upheld by the Kannada Language and Translation Studies through its teaching and research programmes as well as other publication works. The M.A, M.Phil and Ph.D. Programmes of this Department have to have a Dravidian Cultural content, for which special papers are being prepared. Where ever needed the help of the other language Departments is also utilized. The papers designed for this purpose will be core papers.
