Karnataka Folklore University is established with a specific objective of providing the greater platform in Folklore Studies.
There can be no doubt that this university will bring to perspective the vibrant folk culture of Karnataka to the topmost level of visibility among all other cultural forms of Karnataka and bring to fruition the meaningful initiative of the Government of Karnataka. At present in the whole of Asia, this is the only university providing advanced teaching, learning and research opportunities to students of folklore and it has a commitment to excel in translating its vision and mission into reality. Establishment of this university has certainly added a new dimension to higher education in Karnataka, worthy of emulation by other linguistic states of India, as the next frontier of inclusive studies of Kannada culture.
Karnataka is a rich treasure house of Traditional Knowledge. The process of unearthing this knowledge involves collecting data, documenting the knowledge system and understanding the contextual importance of such knowledge sources. This collection, preservation and conservation of Folk elements need highly professional stream of academicians who can transform such thoughts into practices. This is possible only when graduates are produced not only with skills to deal with such material but also, with the right aptitude to do such work. They should admire our culture and heritage first. Therefore, there was a pressing need for establishing a Folklore University to provide an opportunity for Higher Education and also to conduct advanced Research in the field of Folkloristics.
