About Kannada University
Kannada University was established through the Kannada University Act 1991 established at Hampi, in 1991.The demand for such a University was there in Karnataka since the mid 1980s but it took a while before it got established. Towards this effect, the Government of Karnataka established a commission under the chairmanship of Sadashiva Wodeyar. This Committee after consulting various intellectuals, education experts, political thinkers, social activists, literary personalities and representatives of people came out with a report and recommended the establishment of the much-needed Kannada University. Initially, its campus was established at stonemantapas of Hampi, but later on in 1994, the campus was shifted to Vidyaranya. There are two more satellite campuses: one in Badami (125 Kms away from Hampi), an historical place, where the Department of Sculpture and Visual Arts is located; and the other at Kuppalli, the birth place of the poet Kuvepmu, where the Kuvempu Research Centre is located. The present campus of Kannada University spans a hilly terrain of 700 acres situated amidst a natural forest and beautiful lake. The special feature of the Hampi campus it that it is located on a valley setting with fairly thick vegetation preserving many of the indigenous tree, shrub and grass species. A small brook runs through the campus. The campus is named Vidyaranya after the 'founder-Guru' of Vijayanagara Empire. It also means the forest of knowledge. The newly constructed buildings of Kannada University blend into the ambience of the architecture of Hampi historical structures. The University authorities have very thoughtfully selected these ridges for constructing various buildings. The architecture of some of these buildings is also noteworthy, as it has taken many elements from the vijayanagara diction of architecture. Some of the buildings are named after key personalities of the medieval empire, like the Kriyashakthi which is the name of administrative building. Kriyashakthi was an important guru in the history of Vijayanagara Empire and it means ‘The Power of Action’. Another notable features of the institute are the buildings of the Tribal Studies Department which have been constructed keeping in view the tribal housing structures. In short the campus has several unique features of its own, adopted from the natural and historic-cultural heritage of the region.
