SIGNIFICANCE OF THE EMBLEM
------------------------------------------------

The Karunya Emblem has a human face to indicate that the

well being of humanity is central to our mission and that
we shall never forget them in the midst of our equations
and diagrams.

The symbol has a gear wheel as the human eye, in appreciation of

the importance of technology in today‟s world;

The lighted torch stands for the light of knowledge, the light that
promises moral, social and economic wellbeing;

The hand holding the torch depicts Karunya‟s contribution to the

cause, helping hand that spreads knowledge, the kindly light of
education.

It has the motto ‘ARISE AND SHINE’ - Karunya‟s message to

the youth of the country.

To sum up, Karunya‟s emblem reflects the University‟s mission in

knowledge creation and dissemination, value addition to men and
materials and optimization of human potential for national
development in all its ramifications for a bright future.

the MHRD granting extension of the Deemed-to-be- University status for 5
years. Another team of Experts constituted by AICTE visited the campus in
March 2018 for granting approval of Engineering and Management Programs.
Impressed by the infrastructure and the quality of the Programs offered, the
AICTE has approved all the Core and Circuit branches of the Engineering
programs, including the Biotechnology, Agriculture Engineering, Food
