ABOUT:
In order to lessen the pressure at the main campus Dharwad, the P. G. Centre at Belgaum considering its cultural, commercial, industrial and educational background, Kittur Rani Channamma P. G. Centre came in to existence in June 1982 as an offshoot of the Karnatak University Dharwad.
With the introduction of Geography in many colleges, there was a growing demand for post-Graduate Studies and Research in Geography. Dr. D. M.

Centre of the Karnatak University Belgaum after 28 years of its inception has become the independent university got status as Rani Channamma University Belagavi and Dr. B.R.Ananthan took charge as the first Vice-Chancellor of the new university.
