The Dravidian family of languages, which includes more than 27 tongues, the most ancient, living language family of the world, one of the richest contributors to the cultural mosaic of India, often confronts the question whether it enjoys its due recognition in the subcontinent; whether it is being academically cared adequately and receives equal attention on par with other languages of National importance; and whether the Dravidians contribution to Indian literature, Indian philosophy of Indian history and culture are being properly and adequately evaluated by the scholarly community.

Since inception, it has grown in stature to be ranked amongst the best in the University with good funding from the Government of Andhra Pradesh. The UGC has recognised the Department’s potential for growth and has sanctioned the University Computer Centre for the Department with additional staff in the year 2009 with more than one crore rupees commitment.
