Adichunchanagiri University.
This private university focuses on teaching, training, research and development in
the fields of Engineering and Technology, Health Sciences, Agricultural Sciences and
Technology, Management and Technology, Natural Sciences, Humanities and Social
Sciences and allied sectors and other disciplines and allied sectors and for the matters
connected therewith or incidental thereto.
