Chaitanya University
Driving discovery, innovation and academic excellence across disciplines.
Research Policy
Inspired by this ancient wisdom, Chaitanya (Deemed to be University) commenced its successful journey in 1991. The present Deemed University status is the result of the sustained and sincere efforts of its Founder and Chancellor, Dr. Ch. V. Purushotham Reddy, for more than three decades.
CDU envisions a dynamic Research, Innovation and Extension Ecosystem in faculties of Science, Commerce & Business Management, Engineering & Technology, Pharmacy, Agriculture, Nursing and Allied Health Sciences which are in tune with “Atma-Nirbhar-Bharat” as mandated in NEP-2020.
The CDU Research Policy Document is the road map for enhanced research productivity conforming to research ethics and social responsibility. Research scholars from Indian states like Maharashtra, Assam, Odisha, UP etc., and foreign countries like Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia etc. are pursuing research programs at CDU.
