Rani Channamma University,
Belagavi- 591156

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the website of this University. We are trying to make it more and more user’s friendly.

The Challenges to our higher education system, particularly the Universities, are to carve out a path and a strategy for themselves so that they can be effective instruments in the process of transformation of this country. Producing employable graduates is no doubt one of the objectives but I believe that creation of new knowledge and innovative mind should be the focus of higher education system. Keeping this in mind, we are making sincere and committed efforts to develop this University as a well recognized and established centre of higher education. We are striving to produce better graduates with right interests, attitudes, moral and intellectual values.
