School of Performing and Visual Arts (SOPVA)

The School of Performing and Visual Arts is functional at the University headquarters since February 2009 with a vision to provide higher education opportunities in the Performing and Visual Arts through open & distance learning mode of education.  Within the above context, the School of Performing and Visual Arts is visualized as a location that intents to implement a new vision of art pedagogy and practices in the Country. It aims at being constituted by the principle of creative expression, processes, practices and disciplines, including historical, theoretical and critical engagements. The idea is to focus on areas of knowledge and professional specializations and is imagined as a breeding ground for the development of classical and newer art practices and theoretical insights in the direction of finding paradigms in performing and visual art forms with greater amalgamation between theory, practice and research on one hand, and interdisciplinary approach between various arts on the other.
