The mandate of the South Asian University, as set out in the Agreement of the SAARC Member States under which the University has been set up envisages that the University should:
- enhance learning in the South Asian community that promotes an understanding of each other’s perspectives and strengthen regional consciousness;
- provide liberal and humane education to the brightest and the most dedicated students of South Asia so that a new class of quality leadership is nurtured; and
- enhance capacity of the South Asian nations in science, technology and other areas of higher learning vital for improving their quality of life.
These three elements, i.e. building a culture of understanding and regional consciousness; nurturing a new class of liberal, bright and quality leadership and building the capacity of the region in science, technology and other disciplines considered vital for improving the quality of life of the people, therefore, form the core objectives of the South Asian University.
