Brief overview of the University
Azim Premji University was established under the Azim Premji University Act 2010 of the Government of Karnataka. Azim Premji Foundation, the sponsoring body set up the University as a fully philanthropic and not for-profit entity, with a clear social purpose.
The availability of trained professional in Education, Development and allied social sectors in India is grossly inadequate, given the scale, complexity of issues and the wide range of competencies required to work in these areas. Azim Premji University’s key mission is to address this significant talent gap and prepare competent, motivated, socially committed graduates and enable them to engage with social sector.
The University started in 2011 and since then has admitted over 2000 students. It currently offers four Postgraduate programmes, an Undergraduate programme with honours option and a Dual degree in Science and Education. Six batches of postgraduate students have graduated and consistent with our social purpose, almost all of them work in various roles in the social sector contributing to the development of the country.
The University conducts several continuing education programmes, in collaboration with many state governments, for functionaries in the education and development domains. Research is an important area of emphasis and the University Research Centre is currently engaged in several research projects in the Education and Development domains. In addition the University also hosts national and international conferences, seminars, workshops, public lectures and brings out resource material and publications in English, Kannada and Hindi as a contribution to India’s school education.
In a very short span of time, the University has built a team of 200 dedicated people engaged in teaching, research and administration.
