DESCRIPTION :

Government of India founded the Central University of Tamil Nadu¸ along with eight other Central Universities¸ through an Act of Parliament in 2009. It is part of the greater role that the Central Government assumed in making higher education accessible to aspirants from the weaker sections of the society.  With eight students in M.A. English Studies¸ the university started functioning from November 2009¸ at the Collectorate Annexe at Thiruvarur¸ 60 kilometers to the east of Thanjavur.

But today the University sits astride a major distributary of the famous Cauvery river in the heart of the Delta seven kilometers to the north-west of Tiruvarur. Being the capital of the ancient dynasty of coozar¸ Tiruvarur was a town of great antiquity and a nursery for the traditional forms of dance and music. River Vettaaru runs between the Nagakudi campus which houses the faculty and staff quarters¸ guest house and Kendrya Vidyalaya on the north¸ and the Neelakudi campus with its lecture halls¸ library¸ laboratories¸ administration block¸ auditorium and students? hostels on the south. Both campuses are nestled in a vast¸ verdant paddy tract¸ tucked far away from the madding crowds of urban sites.

In the quiet¸ rural environs this unitary¸ residential university bubbles with academic activity?research¸ teaching and evaluation with untrammelled autonomy in the form of schools which constantly experiment in curricula¸ syllabi¸ teaching¸ learning¸ testing and evaluation methods. The students and the faculty reside together in the campuses which makes teaching and learning continue beyond the class work and the class room.
