The '''University of Kerala''' is an [[affiliating university]]<ref>http://www.keralauniversity.ac.in/about.htm</ref> located in [[Thiruvananthapuram]] in [[Kerala]], [[India]]. It was established in 1937, long before the birth of the state of [[Kerala]] in [[India]]. The University of Travancore which eventually became the University of Kerala was established in 1937 by a promulgation of the Maharaja of Travancore, Sri Chithira Thirunal Balarama Varma who was also the first Chancellor of the University. Sir C. P Ramaswamy Ayyar, the then Diwan of the State, was the first Vice-Chancellor. It was the sixteenth University to be set up in India and ten Colleges within the State of Travancore which were affiliated to the Madras University became the affiliated colleges of the University of Travancore. It ranks among the top Universities in India{{Citation needed|date=January 2010}}.
In 1957, the Kerala University Act, Act 14 of 1957, was brought into force and the [[University of Travancore]] was renamed University of Kerala. The University had three campuses located in three different parts of the State viz. [[Thiruvananthapuram]], [[Ernakulam]] and [[Kozhikode]]. In 1968, the University Centre at Kozhikode became a full-fledged University covering the Colleges and Departments located in [[Thrissur]], [[Palakkad]], Kozhikode and [[Kannur]] Districts of Kerala. The Cochin University of Science and Technology and the Kerala Agricultural University were set up in 1971 and in 1983, the [[Mahatma Gandhi University]] was established. With the establishment of these Universities, the area of the jurisdiction of the University of Kerala has been limited to Thiruvananthapuram, [[Kollam]], [[Alappuzha]] Districts and some parts of [[Pathanamthitta]] District.
==Motto==
The Motto of Kerala University is "Karmaṇi Vyajyate Prajña" ([[Sanskrit]]: कर्मणि व्यज्यते प्रज्ञा). It is taken from the [[Panchatantra]]<ref>http://wikisource.org/wiki/%E0%A4%AA%E0%A4%9E%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%9A%E0%A4%A4%E0%A4%A8%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%A4%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%AE%E0%A5%8D_02%E0%A4%96</ref>. The complete stanza follows:
<blockquote>
मन्त्रिणां भिन्नसंधाने भिषजां सांनिपातिके ।<br>
कर्मणि व्यज्यते प्रज्ञा स्वस्थे को वा न पण्डितः ॥<br>
-''(पञ्चतन्त्रम्, प्रथमम् तन्त्रम् - मित्रभेदः, कथा २ - शृगाल दुंदुभि कथा, पञ्च_१.१३८)''<br>
- ''(Panchatantra, First tantra - The loss of friends, Story - 2, The Jackal and the Drum)''
</blockquote>
This stanza also appears in the ''third story-collection'' called ''Vigraha'' of [[Hitopadesham|Hitopadeśaṃ]] ([[Sanskrit]]: हितोपदेशम्)<ref>(हितोपदेशम्, तृतीयः कथासंग्रहः - विग्रहः, कथा ९, हित् - ३.१२३)''</ref>. Hitopadesham, a collection of Sanskrit fables in prose and verse written in the 12 century C.E., is an independent treatment of the [[Panchatantra]].
==Faculties==
The university has sixteen faculties and forty-one departments of teaching and research. There are eighty-one affiliated colleges. Of these forty, five are aided first grade Arts and Science Colleges, eight are unaided first grade Arts and Science Colleges, two are law Colleges, four Engineering Colleges, two Medical Colleges, seven aided Teachers Training Colleges, six unaided Teachers Training Colleges, one Ayurveda College, on Homeopathy College, two Fine Arts Colleges, one Music College and one College of Physical Education. Besides this, there is an affiliated institute conducting 2-year full time MBA course. The University has recently started an Engineering College in its [[Kariavattom]] campus.

The '''University of Kerala''' is an [[affiliating university]]<ref>http://www.keralauniversity.ac.in/about.htm</ref> located in [[Thiruvananthapuram]] in [[Kerala]], [[India]]. It was established in 1937, long before the birth of the state of [[Kerala]] in [[India]]. The University of Travancore which eventually became the University of Kerala was established in 1937 by a promulgation of the Maharaja of Travancore, Sri Chithira Thirunal Balarama Varma who was also the first Chancellor of the University. Sir C. P Ramaswamy Ayyar, the then Diwan of the State, was the first Vice-Chancellor. It was the sixteenth University to be set up in India and ten Colleges within the State of Travancore which were affiliated to the Madras University became the affiliated colleges of the University of Travancore. It ranks among the top Universities in India{{Citation needed|date=January 2010}}.
In 1957, the Kerala University Act, Act 14 of 1957, was brought into force and the [[University of Travancore]] was renamed University of Kerala. The University had three campuses located in three different parts of the State viz. [[Thiruvananthapuram]], [[Ernakulam]] and [[Kozhikode]]. In 1968, the University Centre at Kozhikode became a full-fledged University covering the Colleges and Departments located in [[Thrissur]], [[Palakkad]], Kozhikode and [[Kannur]] Districts of Kerala. The Cochin University of Science and Technology and the Kerala Agricultural University were set up in 1971 and in 1983, the [[Mahatma Gandhi University]] was established. With the establishment of these Universities, the area of the jurisdiction of the University of Kerala has been limited to Thiruvananthapuram, [[Kollam]], [[Alappuzha]] Districts and some parts of [[Pathanamthitta]] District.
==Motto==
The Motto of Kerala University is "Karmaṇi Vyajyate Prajña" ([[Sanskrit]]: कर्मणि व्यज्यते प्रज्ञा). It is taken from the [[Panchatantra]]<ref>http://wikisource.org/wiki/%E0%A4%AA%E0%A4%9E%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%9A%E0%A4%A4%E0%A4%A8%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%A4%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%AE%E0%A5%8D_02%E0%A4%96</ref>. The complete stanza follows:
<blockquote>
मन्त्रिणां भिन्नसंधाने भिषजां सांनिपातिके ।<br>
कर्मणि व्यज्यते प्रज्ञा स्वस्थे को वा न पण्डितः ॥<br>
-''(पञ्चतन्त्रम्, प्रथमम् तन्त्रम् - मित्रभेदः, कथा २ - शृगाल दुंदुभि कथा, पञ्च_१.१३८)''<br>
- ''(Panchatantra, First tantra - The loss of friends, Story - 2, The Jackal and the Drum)''
</blockquote>
This stanza also appears in the ''third story-collection'' called ''Vigraha'' of [[Hitopadesham|Hitopadeśaṃ]] ([[Sanskrit]]: हितोपदेशम्)<ref>(हितोपदेशम्, तृतीयः कथासंग्रहः - विग्रहः, कथा ९, हित् - ३.१२३)''</ref>. Hitopadesham, a collection of Sanskrit fables in prose and verse written in the 12 century C.E., is an independent treatment of the [[Panchatantra]].
