Bharathidasan University

Overview

In February 1982, Bharathidasan University was established and named in honour of the Tamil poet Bharathidasan (1891-1964). The words of the poem by Bharathidasan serve as the inspiration for the university's motto, "We will create a bold new world." By establishing a daring new universe of educational innovation for social transformation in the area, the university aspires to stay faithful to such a goal. The primary campus of the university was once situated in Palkalaiperur on a property of more than 1000 hectares. Bharathidasan University received an overall score of 82 and a university ranking of 57 in the NIRF Ranking 2022.

The South Campus in Palkalaiperur and the current infrastructure, however, were donated to the recently established Anna University of Technology over time. The Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Tiruchirappalli, was recently given responsibility for a different region of the world. The Autonomous Post-Graduate Center of the University of Madras in Tiruchirappalli is located on the university's Khajamalai downtown campus.

The Mathematics Schools, Physics, Chemistry, Life Sciences, Basic Medical Science, Geosciences, Social Sciences, Marine Science, and Language Schools are some of the academic departments on the Bharathidasan University campus. The site also features a Central Library, an Informatics Center for the University, Hostels, Staff Quarters, a Health Center, a Canteen, and more.

The Departments of Social Development, Computer Science, the Hearing Center, the UGC-Human Resource Development Center (Former UGC-Academic Staff College), and other departments are located on the downtown campus. In addition, the Bharathidasan Institute of Management, better known as BIM, is situated inside the BHEL buildings, a government organisation functioning in Thiruverumbur and regarded as one of the greatest business schools in the nation. 37 departments, 16 schools, 4 faculties, and 29 specialised research institutions make up the university.
