SADHU RAM CHAND MURMU UNIVERSITY OF JHARGRAM

SADHU RAM CHAND MURMU UNIVERSITY OF JHARGRAM

Sadhu Ram Chand Murmu University of Jhargram (erstwhile Jhargram University) was established in 2018 as Jhargram University. In 2021, the university was renamed as Sadhu Ram Chand Murmu University of Jhargram (SRCMUJ). The Centre for Adivasi Studies and Museum, an integrated part of SRCMUJ, was also set up as a specialised centre for higher studies on tribal life and culture as well as for the protection, preservation and display of cultural heritage of the people of the Jungle Mahal Region. The emblem of the university in blue colour has Gadrasini hill, sal forest and Kangsabati river supported by its motto ‘Knowledge is Power’ and an axe, which is the predominant tool of daily use in Jhargram. All these are ensconced in a white border with inner and outer border lines carrying the name of the university and its year of establishment.
