KUPPAM • ANDHRA PRADESH • ESTD. 1997
Established in 1997 by the Government of Andhra Pradesh with the support of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala, Dravidian University is dedicated to the integrated development of Dravidian languages, literature, culture, folklore, history and tribal studies. Located at the tri-junction of three states, it serves as a beacon of higher education in this region.
The Department is offering Ph.D., P.G. (M.A. Telugu), Soft Skills (P.G II & III Semester) and Telugu language paper for U.G. The Department provides comparative perspectives of learning by juxtaposing, comparing and contrasting literature across cultures and languages.
As per its goals and objectives, the Department has carried out teaching and research activities to disseminate knowledge in the backdrop of Dravidian language, literature and culture. It is a cherished goal of the Department to break new ground by designing innovative techniques in teaching and research, especially since most students come from rural backgrounds and regional-medium education.
The Department aims to orient students toward regional and local cultures by incorporating Dravidian writings in Telugu translations without affecting the conventional canon. To enhance knowledge and practical exposure, e-classroom teaching, hands-on training, folklore museum visits, archive studies, manuscript understanding, and e-library usage have been introduced. The syllabus has been periodically revised and approved in the Board of Studies (BoS).
Associate Professor & Head
The Department strives to enrich Telugu Studies as an integral element of Dravidian Studies. In tune with the contemporary spirit in Literary and Language Studies, the Department prioritizes Comparative and Translation Studies.
The Department conducts quality research in Classical and Modern literatures. Getting translated the canonical Classical texts into modern Telugu, translating other Dravidian language texts into Telugu and preparing documentaries on the prominent Telugu personalities are the core aspects of the mission of the Department.
