Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences (KITS), was founded by Dr. D. G. S. Dhinakaran and the present Chancellor Dr. Paul Dhinakaran in 1986 as an engineering colleg. It was granted autonomous status in 1999 and declared Deemed to be University on June 23, 2004. The emblem of the university has a silhouette profile of a human face with a gear wheel place on the head and a hand holding a yellow ochre torch with an orange flame. Below the hand and on the left of the torch its motto ‘Arise and Shine’ is written Its name is written in red. The human face indicates that the well being of humanity is central to our entire endeavours and that we shall never forget them in the midst of our equations and diagrams. The gear wheel is treated as the human eye, in appreciation of the importance of technology in today’s world. The lighted torch stands for the light of knowledge, the light that promises moral, social and economic well being and the hand holding the torch depicts Karunya’s contribution towards enlightening the young minds by spreading knowledge through education.
