THE MOTTO: Knowledge to Wisdom
Students join higher education courses to gain knowledge. At CUJ, we strive hard to turn that knowledge to wisdom in order that society finally gains a useful citizen to guide and mould its destiny.
This we plan to do through many compulsory community-based projects, interactions with a wide cross-section of people from within our country and outside it and innovations in the teaching-learning processes.
The Logo
The logo occupies a very special place within the whole brand image building process of CUJ.
Respect for traditions is reflected by the curved design around the circles enclosing the name of the university.
The Banyan tree symbolizes learning, enlightenment and its dissemination to the ever growing youth of our nation.
The two rocks represent strength of character and unswerving truthfulness. When conjoined, they stand for steadfast excellence through uprightness.
Jharkhan means dense forest regions. The banyan tree symbolizes the inclusiveness in our humanistic approaches to social contexts of our location.
The Logo Colours
The three colours of the logo have been chosen with reference to what the ancient Upanishads have to say on colours:
Green: stands for vitality and growth
Maroon: -symbolises existence and dynamism
Gold: -represents sacrifice and renunciation
