VISION AND MISSION :
Sri Venkateswara University, a premier institution in the area of Teaching and Research in the country, was established by an act of State Universities in 1954.

Today, no institution can afford to function in isolation of the competitive and competing forces unleashed by the forces of liberalization, privatization and globalization. The Universities are no exception to this newly emerging phenomenon. Our young students today are attracted towards foreign Universities opening their off-campus centers in India, specially designing academic courses to suit Indian market requirements. Universities within India have reached saturation with many traditional courses becoming dormant and least preferred. It is high time for the Universities to have a sound vision to prevent this trend and offer courses in the emerging areas to suit the present day market demands.
The University is committed for generating, disseminating and preserving knowledge and to work with others to bring this knowledge to bear on the world’s great challenges. The University is dedicated for providing its students with an education that combines rigorous academic study and the excitement of discovery with the support and intellectual stimulation of diverse campus community. We seek to develop in each member of the University Community the ability and passion to work wisely, creatively and effectively for the betterment of the human kind. I have an opportunity to serve as the Vice-Chancellor of Sri Venkateswara University and since assuming the charge, I am striving hard to make this University as a model University in the country
