Founder & Hon'ble Chancellor
Born out of a strong desire of fulfilling his late wife, Mrs. Rukmini Shyama Raju's dream of setting up state-of-the-art educational institutions, the excellence, and quality of REVA University is the manifestation of Dr. P. Shyama Raju's years of hard work, grit, and commitment. Mrs. Rukmini Shyama Raju had a firm belief that academics is the fore-runner of everything important in life and based on this philosophy, REVA University since its inception has been widely known among the student community for producing graduates with sound values and a passion for contributing to the society in a constructive manner. REVA University is run by the REVA Group of Educational Institutions, which was initiated under Ruk-mini Educational Charitable Trust. The trust is resolute to provide global standard education to the youth of the country along with giving them the right wings to fly high in their respective careers.
Dr. P. Shyama Raju shares, "The journey from being recognized as a College to being a University, par excellence has been challenging but fruitful for us. It was a moment of pride and awe for REVA when Government of Karnataka invited it to accord it with University status." Advocating rendering personal touch to students, the University makes sure to encourage them to practice discipline in the form of attending classes regularly and staying in constant interacademic journey of the students within the campus. Dr. S. Y. Kulkarni, Vice Chancellor, REVA University says, "The idea is to cater to the societal issues through the application of Science and Technology. Owing to this, we ardently motivate our faculty members, students, and research scholars to engage actively in research activities by providing financial assistance to travel and participate in various academic and research-oriented events."
These kinds of continuous support from the University has resulted in over 500 published articles in SCOPUS and about 300 research papers in WEB of Science indexed
