Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (T.T.D) is also the sponsoring body of the University. SVV University has been established to preserve, foster and promote oral traditions of Vedic, Agamic and Cognate Literature, with focus on right intonations. Its objectives are to conduct research and propagate the relevance of knowledge system and the wisdom contained in the Vedic Literature for meeting the challenges of life in the technology driven contemporary society. Furthermore, the ideals enshrined in the Vedas promote Universal peace, harmony and brotherhood. Today, the need of the hour is to protect the most efficient and pious literature of Vedas and to spread the message contained in it. Sri Venkateswara Vedic University has begun this endeavour through, not only just teaching but through research and publications, as well. While strengthening the tradition of recitation in Vedas, Agamas and Paurohithya, the University wants to produce comprehensive Vedic Scholars, who understand the Mantras they recite. With this intention, the Vedic University has started degree and PG courses in Veda Bhashya. Through the programme Vedasandesa, the University is trying to speed up the vedic message among the common people. The University offers Sastri (B.A.), Acharya (M.A), Visishtacharya (M.Phil.) and Vidyavaridhi (Ph.D.) courses.
