KAZI NAZRUL UNIVERSITY The emblem of Kazi Nazrul University (KNU) has a circle with a torch and a tanpura circumscribed by its name in Bengali and English. These are ensconced by a red star with 24 points and supported by a banner bearing its motto in Sanskrit which is an extract from the Kathopanishad ‘विद्ययाऽमृतमश्नुते’, (Shloka 11, Ishopanishad) meaning ‘Immortality is Gained from Learning’.The torch with flame is an emblem of enlightenment, hope, life, truth and regenerative power; the tanpura symbolises performing arts and culture and the red star symbolises the sun, which denotes life, energy, power, positivity, illumination, light and clarity.
