It is one of the 16 new Central Universities established by the Government of India during the UGC XI Plan Period to address to the concerns of ‘equity and access’ and to increase the access to quality higher education by people in less educationally developed... districts which have a Graduate Enrolment Ratio of less than the national average of 11%.
The CUK, with its territorial jurisdiction all over Karnataka has been initiated its activities from the academic year beginning August 2009 in keeping with the philosophy of achieving and maintaining the highest levels of academic excellence, sensitivity to equity and access in enrolment and recruitment and emerging as a premier national educational and research institution in the country.
The University has 654 acres campus, situated near Kadaganchi village in the district of Kalaburagi, Karnataka State. It is claimed that CUK is the first Central University to move to its permanent campus in a short time among the new ones. The main objective of the University is integrating the components of Teaching, Research, Innovation, Training and Skill Development (TRI-TSD) with an aspiration to excel in dual degree, post graduate and doctoral programs. The University offers the programs in following five dominant areas: Arts, Humanities, Management, Sciences, and Engineering.

Vision:

• Committed to Universal Values and Knowledge

Mission:

• To strengthen and expand knowledge in all its expressions
• To integrate and innovate with all stake-holders of knowledge and education in a holistic and inclusive fashion
• To contribute meaningfully in terms of enriching the human capital of the country.

The university identifies itself with these universal symbols of humanism and harmony who were also responsible for the general trend of education in the sense of enlightenment and upliftment of the masses. These ideas have found expression through the famous and old symbol of the ‘Tree of Life’ which is the basic motif for the university logo. The figurine at the bottom, representing the scholar, is symbolic of life reaching in all its expansiveness and leading to knowledge and enlightenment.
Central University of Karnataka (CUK) is a relatively young institution with commitment for academic excellence and social relevance. For the past eight years we expressed this spirit through our acts and deeds, and achieved a significant growth in infrastructure, academic pursuits and intellectual contribution making its own mark on the national canvas. The committed faculty, students and other stakeholders have made this achievement possible
The Central University of Karnataka is situated in a geographically remote and culturally diverse place, ‘Kalaburagi’. Historically, it is the land of intellectuals and revolutionary leaders. This inspires us to retain the spirit of land and make the University a cradle of knowledge and global institute covering the fields of Humanities, Arts, Commerce, Management and Science & Technology. At CUK the special emphasis is on knowledge assimilation, dissemination, creation and social outreach
The University has been taking appropriate initiatives to address the water scarcity and sustainable energy 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-one departments under nine schools.
