The Dravidian University, Kuppam,

Chittoor district, Andhra Pradesh, India
was established by the Government of
Andhra Pradesh, through a Legislature Act
(No. 17 of 1997) with the initial support ex‐
tended by the governments of Tamil Nadu,
Karnataka and Kerala for an integrated de‐
velopment of Dravidian languages and
culture. The university, which formally
came into existence in 1997, began func‐
tioning with two departments in 1998 and
has today grown into a strong institution
of 23 academic departments and 6 re‐
search centres.
