Vice Chancellor's Message

Welcome to the website of the Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit.

Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit was established in the year 1993 through an Ordinance (11 of 1993) issued by the Governor of Kerala which was later replaced by an Act (Act 5 of 1994) of the Kerala State Legislature. The University, named after the illustrious philosopher of all times Jagaduru Sree Adi Sankaracharya, finds its abode on the banks of the  River Poorna in a small village called Kalady, the birth place of the Jagadguru. The University has been incorporated for the promotion and development of the study of Sanskrit, Indology, Indian Philosophy and other Indian languages.

Catering to the students from the socio-economic backward communities and regions, we consider that one’s self can be liberated only by acquiring knowledge and our motto is ज्ञानादेव तु कैवल्यम् (Sanskrit) meaning Liberation only through knowledge.  Of all that shines bright if knowledge is the most luminous and the University – a light house of knowledge, has been a leading light to all the students who throng to it.  In the University, each student is a priority and not on option.  Students are trained to thrive and prosper in life through a series of interactions with the faculties from within and without.  Every one is a teacher and student.  Eminent personalities and scholars are invited to have face to face discussions with the students, research scholars and teachers, thus sharing of ideas takes place.

The new website of the University aims at quick and effective sharing of information at a click. All information that is to be published suo-moto under the Right to Information Act, 2005 is published on the website.  One can find the services that are brought under the Right to Service Act, 2012 also.  The easy-to-navigate home page has provided links to various upcoming events like seminars, workshops, erudite lectures, notifications for admission and examination etc. under the various heads.

The first phase of computerization of the examination branch has almost completed. The computerization of the administration, the academic and finance branches will be completed in the next phase. And thus the University will absolutely become a paperless University and it will enable students to enroll themselves in the various programmes of the University and after completing the programmes successfully can leave the University with their credentials through the website, without even once coming to the administrative office.  We now aim to achieve this goal.

I earnestly believe that the website and the information contained therein will immensely help the students.  Dear students, let us walk together, confer together, let our minds be one in receiving knowledge as gods of yore and let us strive together…..
