The University
The Indira Gandhi National Tribal University,
Amarkantak has been established by an Act of the
Parliament of India. It came into existence by the Indira
Gandhi National Tribal University Act, 2007 and came into
action with the appointment of Prof. C. D. Singh as its
first Vice-Chancellor on July 8th, 2008. The jurisdiction
of the University extends to the whole country and it is
fully funded by the Central Government through the
University Grant Commission. The university caters to the
tribals� long cherished dream of higher education.
Aims and
Objectives� - The tribal people
are rich in cultural heritage and skill of art and craft
but they are still marginalized in respect to higher
education as well as in other walks of life. Now in the
present age of globalization the world has shrunk into a
village as the society has advanced in technology. But
the tribes, who are the custodians of Indian culture in
real sense, are far behind in this race of advancement.
In order to rescue them from the present plight, the
university has put before itself the following aims and
objectives-
- To provide avenues of education, especially
higher education and research facilities
primarily for the tribal population of India.
- To disseminate and advance knowledge by providing
instructional and research facilities in tribal
art, tradition, culture, language, medicinal
systems, customs, forest based economic
activities, flora, fauna and advancement in
technologies relating to the natural resources of
the tribal areas.
- To collaborate with national and international
universities and organizations, especially for
undertaking cultural studies and research on
tribal communities.
- To formulate tribal centric development models,
publish reports and monographs and to organize
conferences and seminars on issues relating to
tribes and to provide inputs to policy matters in
different spheres.
- To take appropriate measures for promoting the
members of tribal communities capable of
managing, administering and looking after their
own needs by access to higher education through a
university of their own.
- To disseminate and advance knowledge by providing
instructional and research facilities in such
other branches of learning as it may deem fit.
- To take appropriate measures for promoting
innovations in teaching learning process in
inter-disciplinary studies and researches and to
pay special attention to the improvement of
social, educational and economic conditions and
welfare of the scheduled tribes within the Union
of India.
In view of the aims and objectives of the university
the major thrust will be on providing more opportunity
for the tribes. However, the university is open to all
